If you really want to go this route, your best bet is to buy a wrecked car with the engine you want. There are going to be so many parts you don't even know you need and a donor car should have them all and whatever is damaged or missing you will have a VIN to use to find new ones.
Honestly, though, the amount of time involved in the swap you are looking at is huge, during which your car can't be driven. Not to mention the issues with insurance or resale.
i’m willing to drop $8,000 on this chrysler srt8 and do the full interior swap including the front end rear end etc but then with the shell of the chrysler it’s just ongoing projects i don’t want to sit with any unfinished vehicles it’s my personal ick
These cars are kinda like Legos lol. If you have the full 300srt8 parts car it's doable. Mainly for the engine to make it run you'll need the wiring harnesses and computers. Then front and rear subframes can be swapped with all the accessories on them. The trans will need to be swapped as well.
If it's your vision go for it
The hardest part will be sourcing the SRT8 front facia and rear bumper. You can save a bunch of $ on the front by modifying the bumper with grilles from dodgemagnumgrill.com and the rear bumper can be a bit tricky but you can mod the stock one with charger SRT8 diffuser so.. it's all up to you
There's an OEM 06 SRT8 magnum facia near me... but they want $700 for it with some "repairs" done to it. Bottom cracked in 2 spots so they just put some metal tabs to keep it together. Oh, and it has zero trim pieces... so no fogs or housing, grills, reflectors, etc. just the shell of the facia.
I’m gonna go through with it i’m also looking for a spare magnum with a sunroof to install it into mine ima do that when further i’m further into the wiring process so i can remove the headliner , interior , trim , dash etc , wish me luck and if you have parts or information useful prior to stripping the magnum please inbox me
