OK, for the real story...

We pulled the motor last night.  We had the heads off already which is good cause I don't know if it would have cleared our eye beam without letting the air out of the tires, LOL.  I will be using a hoist to put the motor back in.  i almost had a heart attack when we were pulling the motor with the chain!   :faint:

Here are some pics

April - I missed the posts on what u are doing. Are you gonna pump that 340 up?.. I hope so. That 340 should smoke any stock 383, 440 and run with stock hemis down the 1/4. This is you opportunity to represent all SB mopars..

u go girl!.. and squirrel too.   :cooldancing:

Yeh, but the crate is too small  :roflsmiley: Joe sure treats his honey right, but I'm begining to think Joe is accepting his personal experience of Mopar reform, he sure looks like he's enjoying this little project, gona be a six pk sitting ontop her when she returns to the home bay? That would be super sweet.  :bigsmile:  :cheers:

April, have you guys found a good source for the 6-pack setup? I'm not sure when, but its in the plans for my car as well.

Here is a link from the Engine section that explains what I am doing to the motor.  I am not going too crazy, but I will be adding a 6 pak to top it all off!

1BadFish, Six Pack Performance is a great place to get your set up.  Really great people over there!  They are in New Mexico.  I have 2 phone numbers for them (505) 345-8539 or 8530.
