1972 Charger Richard Petty Tribute Stock Car Gets a Fresh Engine! (Make It Race Again!)
What happens here
With the engine and transmission on a hoist, attach the bellhousing and then the transmission to the engine block. This assembly is then carefully lowered into the car's engine bay. Ensure proper alignment and secure the motor mounts. During the installation, verify that the quick-change differential's gear ratios are correct for the intended use and address any driveshaft compatibility issues, making sure the yoke fits the transmission and the shaft is the correct length.
Goal: Properly install the engine, transmission, and ensure driveshaft compatibility.
