SRT-8 front swap

SRT-ateU · 12-13-2006, 06:14 PM

I have an 06' dogde magnum SRT-* with 8,000 miles. The car color is red. I am looking for the same color but a charger srt-8 to swap front ends.

dont think that the charger frontend is going to bolt right up so you will have to do some fab work and then it wouldnt make any diference what color it is

From what I understand it's more difficult than it looks. I can put you in touch woth Chargum to find out. He did a beautiful job with his mix of a silver magnum with a charger front end.

If the two sit on the same chassi, shouldnt it be a direct swap.

From what I understand the brackets and some of the frame work doesn't match perfect. Chargum is the one you realy need to talk to. The word I got from his side is that he ended up with a much longer project than he expected.

I believe there is a thread either on this forum or LXForums.com explaining the work from begining to end.

If it was a direct swap, I am sure you would be seeing more magnums with charger front ends. The fenders need to be modified as the body lines do not match up. Just because they have the same chassis doesn't mean the body lines will match up.

I do know that it's not going to be plug and play. Good luck

The Charger front end no matter which one R/T or SRT will take a lot of fabrication to fit. There has been a R/T for R/T swap done. And there was a green one at SEMA. Check around before you understake this mod.

theres a link on here how to do it with pics there is a lot of mods you need to get new fenders too and they need to be cut up to fit.

I saw Chargum at the MOpar Nationals a few weeks ago and there was some mods done to the fender b/c of the lines on the charger, they don't match up with the Magnums lines..It looks nice but he said he spent about $5500 in parts alone.
