Default JCG Customer Builds

I am going to start this thread off with a '70 Challenger we have going through the shop right now. This vehicle is getting a JCG Sub-frame and Suspension, LS3 Drive-train and all the modern upgrades it needs to keep up. e.g. Fuel System, Brakes.

Nice...But why not a Hemi? I'm not a Mopar guy by no means I'm just curious. I've seen them done before any few articles.

The main reason, is that the car is being used as a test car for our suspension setups and although we are capable of many different types of motor swaps, we specialize and tend to do a lot of LS conversions.

That being said, we have a few sitting on the shelf and more parts for them than any one person should be allowed to have. So it is considerably cheaper for us to build it this way for now. Plus we just really love them..

Maybe in the future, once we are through with our testing, we will swap it for a HEMI to stay true to the cars origin. But that's a discussion for another time.
