Welcome! Show some photos of your Challenger.

What is the VIN stamping on this F440 block? A crazy coincidence might reunite the block with the original car.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, initial timing and total timing is crucial. Increasing the initial to 16°-18° is needed for today's fuel. Once you do that, you will need to measure the total timing (initial + centrifugal + vacuum advance) at around 2,500 RPM. A timing tape on the harmonic...

Glad you got it firing. What ignition did you install? Eliminating the ballast resistor with the proper ignition system and matching coil is a great upgrade. Maybe others want to do the same system you did.

Reference diagram.

This is the diagram which shows the hose only has the one Corbin clamp at the duct. The blower does not receive a clamp. The second photo is the defogger with no speaker. I think everyone has covered all the bases for defogger installation. Great reference material.

The Chinese knockoffs on eBay look the part of an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap 7576 intake manifold but do not expect the knockoffs to be milled correctly. Also, the knockoffs are milled to fit both Magnum and LA small blocks (vertical intake bolt holes AND angled intake bolt holes) so you...

I may have saved them from either FEBO or E-Bodies.org but it is possible they came from an unknown Internet source. I checked the photo file properties and they were created on my PC in May of 2024.

The original door panels were definitely polypropylene for both Cuda and Challenger. This VIDEO discusses a comparison between repro and original door panels.

My own TKX swap on a 440 had no ground clearance issues with TTI 1-7/8" headers. I think the real issue hear is what the shop did with getting your tailshaft-to-driveshaft angle to cancel out with the driveshaft-to-pinion angle. The TKX swap does pitch the back of the engine downward but...

I have seen A/C on E-Bodies with the HEMI. The Sanden compressor was mounted below the alternator on the passenger side. Research that location for pulleys, etc. It will be out of the way but might prevent using a mechanical fuel pump. An electric fuel pump solves that problem. Good luck.
