Hello to all i am Jani from Finland and i have been awaiting for this moment for the past over 20 years :icon_smile_big:
this is a picture from this morning, 20 miles from my home 1 hour later car was in my yard
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/LUM-1/DSC08590.jpg)
we did not get it running, in port terminal they tryed to start the engine by pooling gas on to the carb and failed :brickwall: it seems that all spark plugs (autolite ar3910) are dead or something else :shruggy:
i bought the car as storked 496 but it seems it is only 440, here are the engine specs that came with the car from Collier Machine inc from Florida dated 01/05/2006
Wiseco PT034H3 pistons (=Compression Distance should be 2.050 so it can only be with 3.75 stroke ::) )
Edelbrock 60929 heads
CRS -6760 Connecting rods
CKS-440AA Crankshaft
EDE2954 Edelbrock Torker II Intake Manifold
CRN 68954-1 Camshaft
CRN 68532-16 Lifter set roller hyd
CRN 64790-1 Rocker arm set
CRN 64629-16 Push rod set
:icon_smile_big:
Congrats dude! :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA:
Another Congrats :2thumbs:
Congrats! It's a beautiful car! I'm sure you'll get it running soon
It could just be the curiousity in me but I have a question. Where and when did you buy this car? Could be nothing but it looks almost exactly like a '68 (pictured below) that was stolen from a quadriplegic back in October 2008. Same colour, same wheels, looks like yours has a rollcage too. Like I said, could be nothing but I'm curious.

That's what I was thinking...might be the same car. Well, this could be interesting! :popcrn:
Look at the similiarities!!!!!!!! First picture is from LUMI. Second picture is from Mopar Muscle of the stolen car.
tomorrow is a holy day so i cant get new plugs anywhere from here :brickwall:
and the exhaust manifold is so big that i cant get 2 plugs out of the head with my current plug keys
engine rotates well and gets gas and there is a spark but wont start on those plugs :brickwall:
besides i have my leg in plaster so it is a bit hard to fix at the time :2thumbs:

I see a lot of differences in those pictures, doesn't look like the same car, similarities, yes.

no it is not the same car :icon_smile_big:
i bought this from ebay 2 mounths ago
-Damn, if the car in those pics are the same and it turns out to be a stolen car... What a mess that will be.. I really do hope that, that is not the case here...
But there are several differences when looking at both cars. Even though they look the same, they are NOT the same car...

PS: Terveiset täältä Ruotsista! Kiva että Suomen Charger kanta on kasvanut yhdellä!!!
I think it has grown by more than one this year Tom ;D
Bronz...
The two pics you posted showing the rear axel, etc.. They dont even closely resemble eachother... Look again! and before you start to go off again waiving your arms in the air about stolen cars, take a deep breath and look at the pics again...

:rofl: It was our liberation from you guys that made us afford these cars!
these are the things i see that are different :Twocents: :Twocents:
Yes i know that stolen Charger and have looked all the pics from
http://www.musclecarrestorations.com/gallery2/v/Chrysler/Completed/Dodge-Charger-68-000/
before i bought this "MY -68" i looked 155 pictures of it and i know for sure it is not the same car, even it is a fine car, but not yet at the same level as the Nick Suckows car was
Ja Tomille kiitokset eihän tätä B vitamiinia varmaan koskaan täällä liikaa ole :2thumbs:
I trust you man...just had a hunch and I couldn't let it go. However, you are stuck on the fact that it is a different car and I believe you :cheers:
The underneath of those cars are completely different... It's amazing how similar the same year charger, same color, with duels, and popular rims can look.
nice looking charger :yesnod: :drool5:
I just want to say that if I ever had my car stolen, I'd be very thankful that there are guys like Cody looking out for me. Sometimes you just gotta go on instinct and a gut reaction. Cause who's to say that the car wasn't stolen and reworked to a different level and then sold. It could possibly happen. You would think they would repaint it though..... :scratchchin:
Nice car none the less and welcome to the show. I don't even remember seeing it on ebay, how'd we miss that one? :eek2:
Cody, you da man!! :2thumbs:
I agree...without seeing the undercarriage picture it's very easy to think this (might be) the same car. Cody did the right thing! :2thumbs:
Sure is spooky how close they are. :scratchchin:
OK i found the cam info by google: Advertised Duration 302 - 310 - Lift .548 - .558

maybe i paid too much i dont know :brickwall: and honestly it does not matter
and i drove it today after my friend replaced the plugs i cant do anythin on this my broken leg
If it is your dream car , what you wanted and your happy with it . I would say you didnt over pay .

Absolutely gorgeous car!
Nice looking car :2thumbs: enjoy the heck out of it.
Very cool...You will definitely be turning some heads in Finland :yesnod:
I had a buddy approach me about us doing Mopar Strokers and shipping them overseas for guys like you. That would be one heck of a car to get things rolling with :icon_smile_big: If you ever run into issues and decide to go that route keep me in mind. It would be an experience making it happen, but we've got to start somewhere, lol. Hopefully you get the car dialed in and get to enjoy it once your leg is back!
Nice Charger, those 2nd gens look the best
i drove my first 10 gallons today :coolgleamA: how many miles i dont know, speedometer dont work :brickwall:
far better to drive than i expected but performance was a little disappointing, well have to do something to that in the future :icon_smile_big:
back tires are shit they have been lock braked and not round anymore
by the way that detroit locker sounds nasty when engine braking, and without accelerating straight :o

If it's anything like the prices in Norway, about $70
it's more like "Smiles per gallon" huh
Nice car LUMI ,enjoy it .I know what it is like to import a car .We must be truly dedicated to these cars ,its not just like looking in the paper and buying from the same town.When I bought mine The NZ dollar was only worth 60 cents US then had shipping across the world and wasn't direct to NZ ,had to take the long way and go through Singapore ,then $1500 NZ import duty and compliance costs to NZ standards.and now pay NZ $1.70 per litre for gas ,but none of that matters cause my babys in my garage now and she's never for sale.
today i drove 150miles to look quart er mile contests at average speed 55-65ml and got 11,07mpg :icon_smile_big:
and it cost me about 100$
gas is allways cheap :smilielol:
at the pit my charger got a lot of interests :2thumbs:
Like silver said....you're getting "smiles per gallon"! :2thumbs: - - and that's priceless. :icon_smile_wink:

yes and as the old Finnish saying says money is so old invention that everyone shold have it by now :coolgleamA:
but what i would really need is some 200-300hp more power :brickwall: now my old 148CID -72 NA Opel inline 4 is faster :RantExplode:
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/LUM-1/DSC_1831.jpg)
got it to dyno today
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/LUM-1/DSC08694.jpg)
and there is no power on this car :brickwall:
but still we got 100kW more than there was at the beginning
at start throttle opened only half way and ignition was 60 deg, now it is 34 deg but still only
251,8kW@5940rpm on engine
214kW at wheels
442.48lb ft @2790 rpm
so what could be wrong??
i have Hooker super competition headers (1 15/16" OD) and 3" pipe without H / X pipe on it
ignition MDS 6AL
CR should be 10.3 if the deck is at zero
mighty demon 750 carb
all other engine specs at first page on this topic :scratchchin:
Could it be cam timing?
That translates to 337.6 hp at the crank & 286.9 hp at the rear wheels. That sure sounds week for the specs you have given us.
hmm it must be cam timing :2thumbs:
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CRN-689541&autoview=sku
cams Basic Operating RPM Range: 3,500-7,000
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p299/LUM-1/DSC08696.jpg)
and on my engine best torque was at 2790rpm so it might be at least 1 tooth wrong and to early direction
how can i adjust it to be just wright to this cam, can i find the info somewhere?
i have only adjusted inline 4s in my life by using this kind of meters http://www.mattikaki.fi/kuluttaja/heittokello.htm when i know how much intake valve should be opened at TDC
well driving season is almost over here so i started to tear down the engine :coolgleamA:
cam timing was 18 deg too early :2thumbs:
maybe the power will be a little better after i reassemble it right ::)
Amazing Charger, I´m waiting to see it in American Car Show Oulu in this weekend :drool5: :2thumbs:

going to dyno soon :angel:

it will be 607CID Wedge from Koffels Place

Holy shit!!! :o Well now I think that I have no rush anymore to get more power out of my Charger´s engine, because it still ain´t gona be fastest Charger in Oulu area :flame: :RantExplode: :icon_smile_wink: :icon_smile_wink: :icon_smile_wink: But if it doesn´t work then I might have a chance.... :D But I´m afraid that I´ll see that monster driving in Oulu next summer, what do you think..?! :coolgleamA:
it will be ready for the summer :yesnod:
but lot to do before it runs, gearbox is still an issue that i have not solved yet, but it seems to be that i use 727 with A&A Trans parts
dana 60 will go to Panuma he will check that it is OK
and i must visit to Kalix and get the classfibre hood and scoop it does not fit under hood :brickwall:
this will run with new E10 95 (10,69CR) so ill save on gas :2thumbs:
and have to buy wheeliebars too :angel:
and hope no Hemicar beats me in Oulu (= i dont dare to go further because there are strong Hemis in south :flame:)

Great! :2thumbs: Well I think this will be that "Hemi Killer" like you said... :icon_smile_wink:
Do you have some parts to sell from that old engine that I could use? Mighty demon maybe..?? It is douplepumper I assume.. Some other performance parts might interest too if you have... You can PM me of those parts you might be selling, put "price tag" PM also... :D
you can buy the whole engine :cheers:
and if there is not enough power on this one ill put 300hp nos to it first :nana:

Well I´m not interested about whole engine, it would have to be +500hv that I would be interested and I would do anything about it. Of course I can think about it if it happens to be in reasonable price... How much are you asking for it? And how much horsepower did it make, was it less than 400hp?? I have almost that already in my present engine :D

dynoed at Koffels Place and with Shell 93 Octane Pump fuel

i am planing to use 3300rpm converter from A&A Trans and TF 727 gearbox from same place
and maybe i change my current 4.88 axle ratio to a longer one, i am running MH DOT 30" tire
got my new plates today
it cost me 1000€ :flame:
but they will be in my Charger for the rest of it´s life (hopefully longer than i live :coolgleamA:)
RT-440 was already reserved
so this was the second best option which was availeble

Hi, how much for the old engine? And did you dynoed it after camshaft timing?
Pepe
This is new engine from http://www.pedalttmetal.nl/ that has been built in USA by Koffel
i think will keep the old engine (=or if my wallet gets empty i might sell it, i am open for offers :icon_smile_big: )
there is definitely something wrong on it, either low CR or bad cam, there was only little better dynonumbers after timing the cam :brickwall:
Hi, waiting for the pics of new engine...
few pictures
and some difficulties:
Hemi style Shumacher motor mounts to original K frame wont fit with this Milodon oilpump setup :brickwall:
Meziere electric reverse flow waterpump dont have thermostat :brickwall:

great pictures, quite motivating with the fine weather approaching :icon_smile_big:
long time and not much progress :brickwall:
it got more than 2 mounths to get the parts to the gearbox
then when i was putting the new engine in with the centersump oilpan it did not work, i could not get the oillines well so i ordered new 10quart pan from 440source and modifiend the swivel pickup as a solid to get it fit
nothing has been "bolt on" on this project i have had to modify allmost everything :icon_smile_big:
but hopefully next week it will rumble

Awesome car with an awesome motor. You have to share the road with another 1,000 hp purple 68. mine should be on the road in the summer next year. Different style , but will be cool just the same. 446 cid centrifugal blower motor on pump gas as well. Car is set up for road racing, with magnum 500 style wheels. 17X11 and 17X 9.5 rims. The tires still have some descent sidewall (for the old style look),but allow awesome cornering.
Damn - that is some tight fitting stuff right there... :2thumbs: Awesome work

looking good !! nice work , thanks for sharing the pictures , :cheers: :cheers: :popcrn: :coolgleamA:
motorplate would have be better/easier but maybe in the future...
those schumacher hemi motormounts seems to be quite stiff and i allready bought those :flame:
i cant understand why wedge block has hemi mounts :rotz:
more broblems :flame:
flexplate and converter wont bolt in together there will be 1/6" space between them
is it OK to weld shims to the converter
i see no other option
converter is TCI´s PRO-X 727 143012 9" W150+

Hard to tell but it looks like the flex plate is backwards. The crank bolts look like they are causing the gap. :scratchchin:

well on the flexplate there was a engine side marked so i put it on that :2thumbs:
crank is Callies 8 bolt with arp bolts
It still doesn't look right......Are those crank bolts resting against the convertor?
yes they are
and you cant turn the flexplate without enlarging few holes so it´s not an option :flame:

yeah that would of been my first guess too :yesnod: :scratchchin:
ill try to find if there is an bolt on flexplate to this setup
now i have SFI A736421 plate
or i weld those shims to converter :nana:
flex plate is in right.
I dare say you need a different convertor.
Torque convertor can not rest on flexplate to crank bolts . There has to be room for the torque to expand to a certain degree
me persoanlly would not weld anthing to the convertor lugs - you going to have to have an area that is not threaded , leaving very little of the bolt threaded into the convertor - thus causing a weak link in the powertrain
but it is a convertor for tf727 ??
i checket it to my old engine which has 6 bolt crank it even wont bolt on that, both have same style flexplates :RantExplode:
if the flexplate would be straight it would fit, is there that kind of flexplates available?
well i sended email to TCI lets see it they reply :o
now with a new converter
and still so far from running :brickwall:
CSR supershield wont fit with original trasnsmount so i have to modify it or hammer the trans tunnel :2thumbs:
well maybe next week

Good luck with the rest of your build. Your car looks great and should be a street monster.
good you got the converter /flexplate deal sorted , looking forward to seeing more progress pictures as an when :yesnod: :coolgleamA: :cheers: :popcrn:
Wow what a great car, I'm sure you'll get everything straightened out. Did Koffel's actually ship you an engine with oil lines directly in front of the Hemi mount boss? I cannot believe that anyone would send out a motor that cannot utilize the mounting area on the engine block without some letting the prospective buyer know!
Looking forward to your next update!

no this engine was bought used from Holland, it has had 4 low test runs and 8 full passes on a strip, the privious owner wanted to go to the 7´s, on this engine he got mid/high 8´s with tube chassis belvedere
So, when this beast is ready..? :scratchchin:
Looks awesome.
Is that air cleaner top also filtered? If not im willing to guess your going to choke her out at higher RPM's, its a bit small for such a big motor (unless top is filitered as well)

yes it is, and it need more that that 2" filter for sure
got it running today :cheers:
runs nicely at 800rpm
still some broblems, distributor is locked so it wont start when hot, need to make a switch between msd6 small red wire so i can start it first and hit the ignition after that
shifter cable needs to be adjusted did not find neutral at all with that Hurst Promatic2 shifter
and my new fiberglass hood should be ready in a week

these are the things i see that are different :Twocents: :Twocents:
Don't forget the tires, not like big plumpies like that are cheap to replace.
Not likely someone who stole such a high profile car (with a prominent magazine spread several years back) would go to all the trouble of replacing the axle, exhaust, tires, coilovers, etc and try to sell it without at least a crappy repaint.
Now it runs :cheers:
didnt get it running good on 1050 3 circuit Dominator, it was pig rich on part throttle
but got custom build 1150 AED Max Pro Dominator last week and it runs smooth with it :coolgleamA:

Good work! :cheers:
Sooo, what kinda mileage are you gettin'? :D
Hopefully a lot of in this summer, my holiday starts in two weeks
i try drive as much i can afford, gas is expensive in Finland 8,65$/gal
and the old Dominator took 2.35 mpg :rotz:
but next sunday i will go to a Classis Motormöte Show in Sweden which is 150 mile trip so i know how low can i go with this new AED one
$8.65 a gallon? I will never complain about US prices again...
Don't forget to take some pics for us, enjoy the show.
are the RT-68 plates real official plates? there used to be a 70´s Toyota Carina with those plates in my small town in eastern Finland...guess its been wrecked it you could buy the plates :coolgleamA:

I just want to say that if I ever had my car stolen, I'd be very thankful that there are guys like Cody looking out for me. Sometimes you just gotta go on instinct and a gut reaction. Cause who's to say that the car wasn't stolen and reworked to a different level and then sold. It could possibly happen. You would think they would repaint it though..... :scratchchin:
Nice car none the less and welcome to the show. I don't even remember seeing it on ebay, how'd we miss that one? :eek2:
Cody, you da man!! :2thumbs:
Me too

Yes they are
RT-440 was taken so this was my second option :icon_smile_big:
7 mpg on todays trip on 50-60mph average speed and engine running 2500-2600rpm
was a bit rich on that speed 12.1 to 12.4 afr
i just changed bigger int. bleeds from 63 to 65 lets see how much it helps
took 2 fulltrottle launces on way home :angel:
and got to say it is a hell of a machine, after 3500rpm all hell brakes loose :flame:
Thats actually not bad considering.

Sorry to see the broken rocker arm...that sucks ! :P
When I first saw the pics of your engine a few pages back I knew you would be having issues with those rocker arms at some point. :yesnod:
I'm assuming you are running a solid roller cam in that stroker correct ? If so....you need a much better rocker arm is you want it to live on the street. What are your spring pressures open/closed ? FYI, those rockers are good for flat tappet pressures in the 400lb range....anything more requires a much stronger piece like ; Harland Sharp/T&D/Jesel
Ron
yes i knew they would not last :angel:
but only less than 400 miles from new :brickwall:
loads 620 open 210 closed
intake 320 ex 328 0.50 208/288
lift 0.79/0.76
been trying to contact T&D but no reply to emails and i do not want to call from here on the other side of the pond :icon_smile_big:
