Richard Petty Tribute 1972 Dodge Charger Needs Help to Race Again! (It Has Serious Problems)
What happens here
The team prepares the existing engine for removal by disconnecting various components including the throttle linkage and oil pressure lines. They use an engine hoist to carefully lift the engine out of the bay. The transmission, which was revealed to have no supporting cross member, is removed along with the engine. Upon closer inspection, the transmission is identified as a potentially low-quality unit. This clears the engine bay for power washing and inspection of the underlying chassis.
Goal: Extract the current engine and transmission from the race car.
