holy cow!!!!  what temp was she running, the gauges were dark to me.  did you have your transmission case polished? shnikes!!!!!!  also, not a boost guy so I dont know.. was that positive or negative boost there?  i am assuming positive?

good show, sounds great.  just curious.. why didnt you put the big fan in front of the radiator?

Im looking for a set of radiator fan brackets that would help me mount 2 12 inch push fans in front of my blown motor like what you have in your video.

You know where to get em?

Thanks for the comments.

The temp was about 220 (the gauge wasn't very bright outside facing the sky).  I had it running between 2000 and 3000 RPM for cam break in.  I've since got a lot more advance and the temps are around 175 at idle.  The big fan was to help with the heat just a little.

I polished the trans case over 20 years ago when I had a lot of time on my hands.  I put a few scratches along the top when I tried a test fit into the engine bay with that deep oil pan on.  I won't go in as a unit. I'll have to install them separately.

It was running about 14 pounds of boost (if the mechanical gauge is right).  I have an Autometer Nexus dash gauge but haven't gotten the sensor for it.

Sorry, the fan in front is really a puller and is on the test stand with some shelf brackets.  During the test fit, I also found there is not much room between the blower belt and the radiator.  I may be able to split the two fans and move them toward the edges or I'll also be trying to mount some brackets to switch to push.  I still need a radiator for the intercooler so I may be able to sandwich the fans between the two and keep it as a puller if I remove some of the shroud to let more air flow.

Just for grins, I have two turbochargers that I may mock up for pictures before I install the engine in the Charger.  I've always wanted a twin turbocharged AND supercharged Charger.

After reading the title of this thread I was thinking of a something a little different

But it turned out OK.  Nice motor
