Nice, good job!

Cool...I'd be very tempted to leave theJenson rocker covers on. In one go you could piss off both Dodge and Jenson purists! I might get some!

Good luck on finding the covers.

Not that difficult over here.....most of the 440s replacements for Charger motors are sourced from corroded to death Interceptors!!

I see you're using an open-tail TF to mount the rear instead of a standard bellhousing, how's that working out?

How long before the converter freezes up?

hi john transmission is full of oil but not coming out of the rear tailshaft?? ,does shift into all gears just sat in park whilst on the stand,is this not a good way??dont want to do any damage if it can be helped

OK, I was just surprised to see one with fluid in it not running out the tail. In Park there is little fluid circulating but I doubt it'll fail any time soon.
