My first car (re-named from my parents....)

Hauling most of your life?  You've been licenced since last October so as much as I would like kneel before your awesome experience,...  oh never mind, this is a train wreck.

Attitude is personality you don't mess with?   Right, okay, maybe someday you'll even be president.

[SFRT]

make sure to post your progress pics as you build the car!

    He's been hauling most his life.      That's rich.  Are you not only 16? I don't know of any state that lets you drive before 15. So I am guessing that you might have only driven for maybe two years??   

When does it stop?

I could haul a Peterbuilt upside down all around anywhere with my Dodge dully.



P.S.   I give slack where it is deserved. But if somebody calls me a faggot, I don't believe that they deserve any slack.   And there is no excuse for being plain arrogant!

I'd like to see car on dyno, then we will know its actual 500hp. You must realize that you will be losing 20-30% of power through drivetrain so even if it it 500hp you'll be lucky to see 375sh at the wheels.
Dodge uses sure-grip, not "posi". Posi is chevy term and most Mopar owners don't use that term.
I hope you have lots of money cause restoring a Charger is not like restoring Chevy and you'll be out thousands of dollars real quick for just little parts. Ive owned my Charger for over 7 years now and it's still nowhere done.

Ryan, I understand you're young and full of piss and vinegar but just a small amount of humility and respect would go a long way.  I am not talking down to you or preaching (I'm sure it reads that way but I'm not).  The towing thing, driving a vehicle with a trailer is LOT different than riding with someone.  Even if they are telling you all their secrets, it is still NOT the same.  I've flown a hundred times or more and I have no intention of ever telling a pilot that I know what he does and that I could do it.  I've been driving nearly twice as long as you've been alive Ryan and there is not a year go by that I don't discover something new behind the wheel.  I don't say this to lecture but to hopefully get you to slow down and open your mind and you'll enjoy your driving experiences a lot more.
That's it.  Enjoy the car and hopefully it's better from here on out.

if the rest of the drivetrain, brakes and suspension not to mention lil things like wiring and so on are in the same shape as whats in the pictures....15 grand and a year, minimum, to get it to drive more than a mile without imploding.

500 at the flywheel and 100% streetable day in day out...3 years, 20 grand maybe more. painted, with an interior....30 grand add on another year....

with that Fram oil filter on there I don't see how it will hold 500hp for very long.

Not a fan of fram filters either I see.  I lost a brand new 318 a few years ago to a faulty fram. They told me to have 2 ASE cert techs fill out a form they sent me that the filter was the cause of failure and then send the filter in with the paper work. Needless to say. It wasn't their fault and they were not going to take care of it.  All well. I will never use fram on anything again. Not even a lawn mower.

Now back to the previous show.

In case anyone wonders why insurance rates are so high for male drivers under 21 years old, THIS IS THE PRIME REASON.      Is this the same kid that was talking about steeling a car on another thread?     I think his parents should be informed of his way of thinking.    Being young and thinking you know everything is one thing.     But being young and full of anger is another.    Don't be so quick to snap on members here 500hp.     Respect is earned and if you want it then you need to earn it.    If you come on here posting like a punk then you will get treated like a punk.     What's the point of that.     You are kicking your own ass here and you don't even know it.

It aint bad around here. I don't even have a Charger and I hang out without much trouble.
Just listen to the old timers.

Here is an idea: If you dont like the people here and you dont feel welcome, Maybe you should just come back when you grow up a little.

that CHARGER looks like a nice project , do you know if its all #s matching ? do you have the fender tag and vin# for it ? how about some info on the 440 ? what heads ? stock or oversized pistons ?

looks like a holley vac 2nd 750 edelbrock CH4B & a mallory unilite distributor and accel wires . if my math is right and from what i have learns on these MOPAR web boards from the guys who know thier stuff , id have to say thats far from a 500 horse power motor .
even with the combo i was going to go with with my 440 , ported/polished  516s 2:14 1:88 , ported /polished holley street dominator , 850 cfm carb custom grind cam 250@50 MSD ignition 8546 distributor and a 7AL2 box with 8.5mm wires my net HP was 550 . and with my new downgraded combo 750 proform carb , voodoo cam , 346 heads 2:14 / 1:81 edelbrock CH4B MSD 8546 distributor and a 6AL box and 8.5mm wires wich is more than what i see here is only going to net me around 425 HP
