Subject: 408 Stroker Carb ? IP: Logged
Message: I am wanting to put a 408 stroker into a different car (72 Charger), and was wondering what would be better keeping it fuel injection and get a wiring diagram and try and get the wiring right, or get a new intake manifold and a carb, first do they make a intake manifold for a carb on 360 or 408?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Message: You can go EFI if you would like but that would be some major $'s and alot of tuning.
A guy put a MPI 360mag in a 70 Challenger years ago, it was back when Magnums first came out. He had to use a complete wiring harness from a 1500 and alot of testing and tuning.
My opinion would be that a good Holley or Demon carb on top of a M1 single plane would be your best bet, especially with the 408.
Good luck.

Message: Okay so the m1 single plane is fine for carb? Couple of other questions, what about the auto trans then? like the elec. overdrive off/on button, and the couple of sensors on it or whatever. Is there any other porblem areas that I should be looking at?
Thanks for the help FazDak

As far as the "elec OD" and all, you have none of that to worry bout with a 72 Charger, it never had OD. Now if you wanna add an A518 or A500 to the setup it'll be that much nicer but an OD tranny in any old Mopar is quite a bit of work.
You'll need the tranny Xmember comlpetely reworked and sometimes the tranny hump in the floor has to be enlarged (dunno with that year B body).
If your not worried with the OD than just get a race rebuild on a 904 or a basic or race rebuild on a 727.
I have a bit of experence with old school Mopars and own a 1973 340 Challenger at the moment, email me directly if you want more advice/help.
