gonna stick it all in the car in the next week and see what my butt dyno reads. 'on paper' they tell me it should be somewhere north of 550 HP.  I will be happy if it ends up at 500. I will prolly chassis dyno it next month.

the drivetrain is a 18 spline a833 and a girdled dana 60

[General_01]

Sounds great. It's all downhill from here.

[Steve P.]

Do you know which KB pistons are in it?? 

84 or 88cc heads??

[SFRT]

the pistons are KB 822 forged.

on the heads, I gotta look at that sunday when I go back down to the shop...as i cannot remember.

[Steve P.]

Ok, cool. I am using KB's also, but mine are the HYPO!(&*$&#(^!%$@... Never used them before.. At this rate it will be another year before I get to see if I like them..   

[CB]

wow looks like you gonna be driving a cool machine very soon!
good luck with your new engine

Lookin good SFRT ! 

As for power i would expect it to be very close to Ricky's build which made just shy of 500hp but LOTS of tire twisting torque. 

You guys should line them up at Infineon for Bay area braggin rights.

Ps. Here's a rundown on Ricky's combination and dyno results :  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,36603.0.html

torque is what i wanted as I am hoping for a stop sign to stop sign warrior. I think I am going to swap my 8" rear wheels for a set of 10"er's as well, I been playing with the Caltracs and the QA1's and i can get the rear end to sit pretty high and the 10" wheels I test fitted off another car seem to fit OK. so I may go for the 'big ass' effect and take advantage of the torque on warm dry days.

   NICE

[SFRT]

so we started at 8 am. first we fit as much as we could before putting, the headers would recquire a couple of things, as well as the serpentine pully



on the pass side the bellhousing had to be ground down a little



on the drive side I had to bang in the header a little and shave of just a hir around the 'ear' on the starter.

after that clearance was fine

[SFRT]

the serpentine pulley sat right on the wp bolts



so I ground them off a bit and everything was fine

[SFRT]

apart from those small things, everything was fine, I had the engine shop index the bellhousing so that went on just fine



then the creepy part....lot of weight

[SFRT]

3 of us got it installed in about 10 minutes.

guy on the left, Don, is not a car guy, just happenned to be around so he helped. Mustache guy is Bill, who owns a few killer mopars and knows EVERYTHING about these cars, he's been the Main Mechanic on this car, silly tats are me

[SFRT]

oh yes

[Steve P.]

An easy fix for the water pump bolts is to remove the washers. I had to do the same thing with my 440 source goods...


Looking great...

[SFRT]

yeah , I should done that but I have 'vibration paranoia' and alys locktite and locknwasher everything. Its a habit from working on Harleys.

Bill's Superbee:

[SFRT]

since theres header I went with a flexible dipstick tube. install was effortless.



usually, they tell me, it sucks. I recommend one.



it was a little loose so i siliconed it well. I like to use Ducati grey silicone, it has always worked super excellent over the years on my bikes, which a real finicky and exhude massive amounts of heat and stress . I am using it on this car, just to be extra uptight.

[SFRT]

one concern is the oil pan..they said it was 'lo profile'. doesnt look so lo profile to me.

I am going to make a skidplate later in the week.



the girdle added some drop as well



again. paranoia.

[Finn]

Never seen or heard of a flexible dipstick before, pretty cool!

[SFRT]

to answer a previous question the heads are 84cc

[SFRT]

Never seen or heard of a flexible dipstick before, pretty cool!

I think I got it from Mancini.
