Wow - learned somethin' there!!  I never knew!

That'll be a fun project - enjoy!!  If you need any kind of schematics/wiring diagrams etc on the new Hemi, I can help you.

Jeff

thanks for your help Jeff
I will probably order a XV kit and go with a carb. asfar as I know, the engine doesn't have original cpmputer and harness.
my main concern at the moemnt is the alternator. it is run by the computer and would like to swap for a classic one, but can't find the information if there is another way to do that than ordering the XV alternator ( can't pay $500 for an alternator ...)

thanks Don

I know Christophe by his blog and his famous charger. he looks like a great guy who lives things with passion. ( hope you understand what I mean)
there are lots of classic ammerican cars in france and in Europe mostly mustangs .

my main search for the moment is a 71 cuda grille which seems like the search of the graal

Hi Lilian,

I was wondering if you had received any assistance in your search for the '71 grille? I found a company (Premier Plastic Reproductions) that is reproducing them. Their web add. is www.PremierPlasticReproductions.com The grille itself is advertised for $495.00 US. The inserts and anything else looks to be extra. I do not have any knowledge as to quality or the manufacturers reputation, so I think I will start a thread (if there isn't one already) as there is a good chance someone on this site has some additional knowledge regarding this product. There is another guy on E-Bay advertising restored '71 grilles, but it looks like he is asking for $5,000 US or so-ouch! I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Don

Hi Lilian,

You may want to think twice about dealing with PPR. Check out the thread on it in the "Bodyshop" section of the site.

Perhaps someone here will have an original they would like to sell. Good luck!

Hi Don
I originally ordered one from PPR but after seaching the net for feedbacks on heir business and them saying every 2 days that shipment was delayed, I ask Visa to refund me ( they did) as I was in the 60 day period to d that.
as of 8 am french time today, I dealt with Mike G and buy his grille, so everything end up really good.
thanks for your help
