Larkspur here. Good color too! Was it born FY1?

That's a 72 Demon with the 408. My Challenger is a 426 Hemi on a 72 service block with Callies forged 4.5 crank with Eagle h-beam 7.1 rods (big rod angularity, long dwell) with a .040 overbore = 518 ci. Stage V top end complete to valve covers. Pretty mild cam that was originally for 727 2500...

I would look at "Florida company" glass closely b4 buying. I have bought their side window kit and it is very poor quality - learned the hard way. Wavy, looks like the blank was heated and formed on homemade bucks. Look at ECS for E body glass, correct date coded available

Surgeon, This is pretty much your build. As Chryco suggested I would try swapping to improve #4. #5 is definitely too tight. Did you check the journal and see if it is the culprit? A machine shop could dress the #5 journal to open up the clearance or there's always the .001 oversize shell...

I used a 3/8 drive socket and extension to lever with light wipe silicon grease. 1/2 deep IIRC

Oyster, you are using the alternator charge wire through your firewall to the ammeter as a fusible link. Happy that your lights are brighter, but as RTA notes, its not if, its when.. Mopar dash fires used to be well known to insurance adjusters when there were thousands of these cars on the...

hey - seen worse. nothing but rockers and tunnel supporting where it gave out, no surprise. 2 part comeback!

Without drilling out the spotwelds and completely disassembling the firewall and cowl a good way to get in and blast or treat is to have one or more cowl patch panel area you need to address to start with. Then along with the two interior air vent ports and cowl grille openings you can really...

Looking forward to seeing the vert come back! 15 yrs ago this JH27 was getting the treatment. WRT the dip process, I went with media blasting using polyester beads on the beauty surfaces + behind them and recycled glass on the underneath, inner fenders, etc. Areas like your crusty floor pan...

Scat is the company that either developed or bought the Procar line, Scat has been around for prob 50 years, I have your same rally seats in my Demon that I bought in 2011 and they were relatively new

Wheel well lip trims are anodized and without removing the anodizing, polishing options are limited. Replating isnt the right process either. Also as you know tiny rock and debris pits also pepper the rearward parts and sanding them out goes through the anodizing just in those areas. There are...

There are vids of AMD metal going on Mopars at their resto shop. Search for AMD Mopar and what part you want to watch go on. There are lots of other metal install and vids besides their's of course too Eastwood has pinch weld prep, panel punching + plug welding vids Alignment and working from...

TTI is the stuff for your system. No issues. X pipe or h-pipe, different muffler options all go together differently. Some of the slip connections can use some relief sometimes, thats where the expander is handy. I didn't like the walker dynomax mufflers TTI uses so after I got a few years out...

Great - will be fun to see your pics. Have extra hands around for the first install - on or off a lift. Usual exhaust wrestling and banging. If you have a tubing expander available in your headpipe size they are handy
