What is good engine for my 69 dodge charger?

Does anyone know an engine that


Would be good for my 69 dodge charger. A list would be very helpful.|||First off due you want to keep it stock or custom. Second do you care about gas mileage and performance or do you want a resto-rod with all new up to date systems. You can use any of the following engines for either construction. 426 Hemi, 383, 440, 318 are all good engines for what you want. Third do you want to race it? I prefer the resto-rod setup. I would use a 440 fuel injected and possibly with a turbo. This gives you good power as well as better gas mileage then came with the original engine. If cost is involved go with the 318 fuel injected and add the turbo. This can be a real screamer. The 318/340/360 engines are available just about everywhere. The 440 is harder to find and was first made as a truck engine for Dodge trucks. The 383 was the same but is harder to work on. Both give good performance. You can contact MoPar Parts and they will help you. There are after market items you can purchase that will also help performance. Have you thought about what type of transmission you wish to use? I would suggest the older 727 torque flight, it would work well with any of the engines and very strong. Also one of the newer 6 speed manual are quite good with a newer shifter kit added. If you go with the manual don't forget the pistol grip shifter. What ever you decide remember MoPar FOREVER!!!!|||a good 440 is the most practical engine to put in it, parts are cheap for them and their easy to find and also produce a large amount of horse power,that would be my choice for a good fast strong engine for one of those cars,good luck.|||It's simple. In this day and age, you can build a 420 cubic inch small block, that will have great power and being somewhat light, will better balance the car than the nose heavy B-RB engine.|||got a 440 if you want it come and get it the price is right free|||I'ld give a list, but i think the 426 hemi or 440 is your best bet. If you want a rare car and have the money. Drop a v10 viper motor in it.|||well if your looking for power and dont care about gas milege,i would go with a 383 or 440,or if u could find one,an original 426 hemi.if not i would drop in a 318 2barrel or 360==|||426 Hemi, 440 Wedge, 340 six pack or go really wild and get a 518 big block about $12,000.00|||The numbers matching original engine is not only a good engine, it is the most valuable!|||Some of the original engines that came out in a 69 Charger.
