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...
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...
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
try the 5/16 and see - rule of thumb for carbureted is 5/16 to 400 hp -- 3/8 runs out at about 500hp. This is based on WOT and 1/4 mile or more..
Many variables to consider but as Chryco says a big inch motor can quickly require fuel beyond the 3/8 line (and mechanical pump) limitations. The...
Got it. Yeh the TKX is sort of T5 form factor. Main case shorter and tail housing way different profile than TKO.
Look forward to the install notes and pics.
Would be nice to see some perfect fit claim actually work out.
Procar rally have been around about 10 years; I didn't think you could trash a pair of pretty sturdy seats like that.
Depending on your local market prices you should be able to get a local trim shop to recover and repair foam on them for less than new. You would also get to pick your material...
Anyone else hate the look of the TTI muffler hangers?
I always thought the 2 'tire rubber' straps and clamp showing cluttered the Chall rear view.
So after doing some custom hangers for my Demon exhaust that has 180 deg mufflers and AAR type rocker exits I decided to try to improve on the TTI E...
