All, I have waited until I got pretty far along before posting a thread of my swap, to make sure my idea wasn't a bust! Well, it has all worked out as planned with a few learnings along the way, I dont believe I have seen anyone on the forum use a TR6060 from a challenger for their swap yet. Well here is proof, with a little modification that it does fit. There is a lack of photos for how much work has gone into this swap, but if anyone has any questions feel free to DM me or comment. Thanks!
Build Details:
Junkyard LY6
Replaced almost all parts internally with stock parts except:
Terminator X
Bored .030"
-4cc domed pistons
Husler mid-length headers
trunnion bushings
dual valve springs
SS2 Cam
LS3 intake
LSA Injectors
Aeromotive 340lph fuel pump
ICT Billet Accessory mounts for Truck accessories.

Transmission:
2010 Challenger TR6060
LS1 bellhousing
LS1 slave cylinder (re-clocked)
input shaft machined shorter to fit (i believe a CTSV input shaft could have been used, but was cheaper to machine to spec)
fabricated transmission mount
flange to yoke adapter

Remaining items to install:
Core Shifter relocation kit
custom driveshaft
Finish crossmember
Exhaust y-pipe

prior to the swap:


Block is back from machine shop













as you can see the cross member is not completed. still need to fab up the torque arm mount and you can see where i traced out where the hump will be removed for the exhaust. Also, the shifter location lines up dead center in the opening of the tunnel. However this does not line up with the 4th gen center console, so it is going to be offset 3" rearward and 1" to driver side to line up. Relocation kit is on the way, will update when it is installed.

 

video of first fire (I apologize for my buddies laugh, it spit flames when it first fired scaring me lol)

 

Very interesting (and unique!) combo you have there. Really liked the sound of the startup. Thanks for posting!

 

received the BMR Adjustable torque arm this week and got it mocked in place to get the pinion angle close. still need to build mount to the transmission crossmember. I got the measurements for the driveshaft and will be getting that on order today.
this thing is way more heavy duty than the stock stamped steel one.

 

What was your reasoning for those style headers?

 

watched a few dyno comparisons on youtube and seems that longtubes are more for peak horsepower and the shorter headers offer more torque. slight trade off between peak power and torque between the two is what i've been lead to believe. i built mine for strictly street use, so peak HP numbers at 6000 whatever RPM does not interest me, and cost secondly, they were a little cheaper than Stainless Works Headers (which are no longer available IIRC..) Drag car, yeah would have went with longtubes, just didnt think it was necessary for my application.

 

No, it doesn't work like that. A proper set of long tube headers make more torque everywhere. Now maybe they mismatched headers and gave up low end torque. Either way, doesn't matter much if it's not important to you but thought you might be interested to know.

 

Thanks QwkTrip. guess i shouldnt have said anything since the only real reason was price in the end..
Either way, i am picking up the driveshaft tonight and maybe, just maybe i can have everything together to take it out for a first drive this weekend!!!!!
Intake built and installed as well:

 

That's a damn good reason too!

 

UPDATE - got the transmission crossmember completed and installed, shifter should be in tonight. Waiting on a conversion U-Joint for the new driveshaft, didn't realize it was a 3-R and not a standard 1310... if all goes well it should be ready for its first drive this Saturday!
Also, i set the pinion angle slightly less than 2 degrees and located the rear-end with the adjustable panhard bar. It was only out 1/16". Having the adjustability of the rear end to locate everything properly is well worth the cost I must say.

 

Is there a "soft" mount on the transmission like that? Looks like you just put bolts into the aluminum end of the case

 

A couple posts back during mock up pictures you can see the 1/2" rubber isolators between the frame and the mount

 

Ahh, missed that. Hopefully that mounting system works out and doesn't cause you problems.
Is there no mounting pad for a mount on the 6060 like the Magnum has?

 

I hope it works out, have to see. I believe there is a mount for the 6060 but mine is the challenger tailhousing and I am pretty sure no one has a pre-made mount for it. Cost me $20 in material and like 3-4 hours of time to build.

 

I was just wondering why you didn't use the Mopar mount and build your crossmember around that?

 

Oh that was my first thought, and I bought it. But it hung down so far it would have been dragging on the ground, and clearance for exhaust was really hindered. I would have had to modify so much, it was easier to just start from scratch.

 

WOW! Stupid Mopars....
Well, good job on this. I hope it works well for you

 

Finally got the car tuned and on the dyno last week. Link to YouTube vid of highest run here: 404whp - 387lb/ft

 

Post up in the LS swap thread and I'll add you to the list. Just need a picture of the dyno curve.
