Version 1.5 changes the power level from crank horsepower to wheel horsepower, this means more accurate speeds and acceleration as well as a more realistic and more noticeable difference between automatic and manual transmissions. Also made a few other performance changes for increased realism.

This may be my most authentic and detailed handling mod so far, I've included three different engines to choose from, each with a unique and accurate sound. I've also included much better brake, suspension and engine upgrades for the car. Now when you put race brakes and race suspension on the car in LS Customs you will actually feel and see a notable difference.
Each engine/trans combo affects handling, the base model with the 318-2BL V8 engine handles and stops the best, and obviously the big block V8's offer better power at the cost of handling and drivability.
318-2BL V8
230 HP 120 MPH+
3 speed auto only although 3 speed manual was available IRL.
Best handling and braking but least power. Burns one tire around corners and reaches top speed rather slowly.
440 V8
400 HP 140 MPH+
3 speed auto or 4 speed manual.
Much better acceleration and top speed than the smaller 318 V8 at the cost of braking and handling.
426 HEMI V8
500 HP 150 MPH+
3 speed auto or 4 speed manual.
Best acceleration and top speed, but can be a bit difficult to control with such a heavy engine up front and so much power at the rear tires.
The 1968-1970 Dodge Charger and other vehicles manufactured by Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge in the late 60's and early 70's were actually some of the better handling cars of the time and even by current standards corner remarkably well for their size. This is mainly attributed to the vehicles lightweight, rigid unibody design as well as its torsion bar front and leaf spring rear suspension which is just as functional as it is primitive. In addition to having a more effective suspension system than most vehicles of the time, the Charger was available with a wide selection of powerful engines including the small but powerful 318 5.2L small block V8, the monster 440 7.2L big block V8 and the legendary 426HEMI 6.9L V8. Despite it's large cast iron V8 engines 68-70 Chargers are relatively light cars weighing in between 3300 and 3800 pounds depending on optional equipment. And unlike certain other larger classic cars the Charger actually has a chance of making it around the occasional corner at reasonable speeds.

@lukegato It did, it also had front and rear sway bars when the base model did not. Even with that the ones with smaller engines still drive a little better because there isn't so much weight on the front end.
@ReNNie Can't wait for that, and thanks for the stars man :)
Very Good..!!!
@alex20121981 Thanks man
LOL, the 318 has the Bubble Bee Stripe, which means it started life out as a big block 440 or Hemi R/T car and at some point lost the original engine only to be replaced with a comparatively weaker small block! Unfortunately, these things do really happen either during the 70's because of the gas crisis or because someone wanted to get the car running and didn't have the original 440 or 426 Hemi, it's really a sad thing that does happen
@John Lemon That's true, that did happen a lot. My dad used to have a nice looking blue 69 Chevelle that was originally a 396. The guy he bought it from replaced the blown up big block 396 with a new GM factory replacement small block 350. Going from 396 to 350 doesn't sound like a big deal to most people but they are totally different engines. The car was still pretty fast with the small block but not super car fast anymore. Dad paid 500 bucks for the car (back before muscle cars were expensive antiques) he only had the thing for a couple months before some crazy old black guy offered him 1500 dollars for it. Dad always says he wished he had never sold the car :( And as for the Charger in the pic, it could be a small block car that was R/T cloned.
@Impactjunky DAMN! he sold an SS Chevelle before the muscle car craze? That sucks! At least when he sold he didn't sell it for less than he paid. :/
As for the Charger, while people did clone cars that would have extremely rare and powerful engines with pretty stickers, that didn't seem the case with Charger R/T clones, or Mopar clones in general. It's more likely someone replaced the Big Block with the 318, which is awful. It's not like there is a shortage of Mopar Big Blocks, 440s came in basically every Chrysler (expect the Newport, which mostly had 383's) from 1966 til 1973. That's not to forget the number of Monacos, Polaras, and Furys that had them too!
@John Lemon Finding a big block Mopar engine is actually getting pretty difficult now, cloning a small block car is very common especially with Mopars. My 68 Roadrunner clone was originally a 318 2 barrel but its a good running 360 now with a shift kit and 3.55 rear gear. I haven't dyno'd it yet and I probably never will but its definitely making over 350HP I wouldn't say over 400HP though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV4LAyCVpCc&list=PLoa2egpH0L8OaJSu-Var1nepPXu8DBTVF
Really? It doesn't seem that way. Never would have though that Big Blocks are becoming hard to find. Like I said though, it always seemed that people put big blocks into cars. That Satellite Roadrunner is a mean sounding machine though. I got a 1997 Dodge Ram SS/T, which comes with the 360 Magnum, the updated version of the LA 360 that came in 70's and 80's Mopars. That motor is no push over, that thing can really pull for being a 90's truck.
PS I checked out your youtube videos and I like the fact you don't have 22 minutes of you standing in front of an engine that doesn't run. There's only so much you can show of a car on video before it gets really boring. :)
When I honk the car revs up to the rev limiter. Is this a common issue?
@Floored No, which sound does that?
@Impactjunky DUDE. Got damn. So good! I went straight for the HEMI. It's powerful but so beautifully controllable; and the sound.. holy shit. That can't be the stock Virgo sound. What did you do to make it sound so good?
Just like with your Mustang handling, I drove the dirt roads from Grape Seed to Fort Zancudo, only this time it was in the General Lee. That car + your handling = childhood dream come true. I still need to test the other drive train packages along with the different mod settings, but I had to come hear and express my gratitude first.
You gotta stop man. You're turning me into a fan-boy...
@John Lemon Thanks man, and ironically a Magnum 360 just like the one in your truck is what I'm running in the Satellite. The 5.9 Magnum heads are the best flowing factory small block Mopar heads ever made. To get better flowing heads you either need to get some machining work done or buy a set from a performance outlet. The engine makes 240 HP 350 TQ with the stock intake and exhaust manifolds but they make 320 HP 400 TQ with just a good 4 barrel carb and a set of headers. Here's the article that convinced me to stay small block. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-0804-small-block-mopar-engine/
What chokes all the HP out of that motor is the stock intake manifold, it only makes power up to 3500 RPM where it reaches a point that it just can't flow any more air, despite the fact that it chokes out peak HP the stock intake is a well designed towing intake that makes the torque curve much wider so the truck can pull a heavy load more efficiently. If you pull a boat or a camper regularly the stock intake is the best choice, but if you want more top end power a better intake manifold is what it needs. The intake on mine is a cheapo Chinese ebay copy of an Edelbrock performer RPM air gap intake that I ported and half ass polished myself. The cool part for me is all of the LA series bolt on parts except for the intake fits on the Magnum. When I swapped from the 273 to the 5.9 I was able to use a lot of my old parts like the Hooker headers and Mopar Performance distributor and valve covers. Before I put the 5.9 in my car I put a good cam and valve spring kit in it from Hughes Engines which specializes in Magnum performance. The car sounds and runs really good for a small block. I haven't run it at the strip since the engine swap but I've smoked a lot of Corvettes. The only Corvette I've come across that I haven't outrun is the newer 430HP Stingray, and that was a pretty close race. The guy asked me if I had a 440 or a Hemi at the next light, he looked shocked when I said it was 360 from a van XD LOL
@HellOnWheels357 Thanks for the good review man, I'm glad to see you are enjoying this stuff. For a long time there I was getting almost no feedback on handling. If you have any suggestions, complaints or requests don't be afraid to voice them.
And it is just the stock Virgo sound, I was trying out car sounds and couldn't help but notice how much it sounded like the General Lee's sound effects. It has a very distinct sound that reminds me of a big block Ford or big block Mopar engine with glasspack mufflers. I have a ratty ass grey primer 72 Plymouth Fury 2 door with a 400 big block and glasspacks and it sounds almost identical. I was using it as a daily until reverse quit pulling. Getting an old Torqueflite 3 speed auto rebuilt can be kind of expensive :(
@Impactjunky Dude, that's that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while! Smokin' Chevies and Fords are what makes owning a Mopar all that much better. I remember one night a few weeks ago, my dad was driving the SS/T and there was a black and silver two tone SVT Lightning Ford. My dad was pulling him after we turned onto the pike and only let off because of the bend up head. lol
i own a 68 Charger R/T myself and i can tell you the sway isn't as bad as in this handling file :D love the rest, the sway is just to much lol thanks allot for your effort mate!
@kingjoop Cool, My main transportation has been a 68 Plymouth Satellite for over a decade now so I have a pretty good idea of how a 68 Mopar B body handles.
is there a step by step video on how to install this?
Where can I get the rusty and damaged body textures shown in the photos?
