Wow looks real nice.

Did you ever put her on a rear wheel dyno and find out what she is putting out? Btw, did you use different headers for breakin? Curious....

I have not put the car on a dyno.  I figure I am somewhere around 450-500 horse by the seat of the pants meter.  Lots of torque, but I really didn't build the engine for high horsepower.  I never was much of a racer.  I enjoy going to car shows and talking to folks about mopars (and other cars too) these days.

I used the new TTi headers for break-in.  No problems.  My old headers where bent in such a way that I could not pull them out far enough to clear the attach studs without hitting the inside of the fenders.  The TTi headers can be installed after my engine was in.

Yeah! I used my TTIs for break in and no problem with ceramic coating.

Nice looking project but really expensive for repairing a locked motor :roflsmiley:
