 at 3 om on a friday. lol. anyways heres the build: 440 HP block bored .40 over crank polished etc clutch n flywheel balanced ( proforce), Lakewood bellhousing indexed etc will have 2.5" TT2 headers n 3" X pipe with electric cutouts edelbrock performer aluminum heads and intake KB pistons 10.9-1 compression eagle balanced connecting rods origina ductile mopar rocker arms and pushrods comp cam .525 lift 231/237 duration milodon lo profile large capacity oilpan and pickup msd ignition and distributor ( 6AL-2) proform 850 double pumper hemi oil pump large capacity mech fuel pump main girdle aluminum water pump 7 blade hemi mechanical fan with clutch march serpentine belt system all new bearings etc etc. gonna stick it all in the car in the next week and see what my butt dyno reads. 'on paper' they tell me it should be somewhere north of 550 HP. I will be happy if it ends up at 500. I will prolly chassis dyno it next month. the drivetrain is a 18 spline a833 and a girdled dana 60 |

Lookin good SFRT ! As for power i would expect it to be very close to Ricky's build which made just shy of 500hp but LOTS of tire twisting torque. You guys should line them up at Infineon for Bay area braggin rights.  Ron Ps. Here's a rundown on Ricky's combination and dyno results : http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,36603.0.html |

torque is what i wanted as I am hoping for a stop sign to stop sign warrior. I think I am going to swap my 8" rear wheels for a set of 10"er's as well, I been playing with the Caltracs and the QA1's and i can get the rear end to sit pretty high and the 10" wheels I test fitted off another car seem to fit OK. so I may go for the 'big ass' effect and take advantage of the torque on warm dry days.

so we started at 8 am. first we fit as much as we could before putting, the headers would recquire a couple of things, as well as the serpentine pully  on the pass side the bellhousing had to be ground down a little  on the drive side I had to bang in the header a little and shave of just a hir around the 'ear' on the starter. after that clearance was fine  |

An easy fix for the water pump bolts is to remove the washers. I had to do the same thing with my 440 source goods... Looking great...  |

since theres header I went with a flexible dipstick tube. install was effortless.  usually, they tell me, it sucks. I recommend one.  it was a little loose so i siliconed it well. I like to use Ducati grey silicone, it has always worked super excellent over the years on my bikes, which a real finicky and exhude massive amounts of heat and stress . I am using it on this car, just to be extra uptight. |

one concern is the oil pan..they said it was 'lo profile'. doesnt look so lo profile to me. I am going to make a skidplate later in the week.  the girdle added some drop as well  again. paranoia. |
