Some new pics please?
Old one's are gone.

Some here have no idea what a Monster engine you have.
I saw it in person and all I can say is that this will be one incredible Hemi.

I think Hemidog had a You Tube video when he dyno'd it at Mopar Engine's West right near me.

The freakiin engine is a Gorilla on Steroids.

I worked all day on Saturday trying to button up the electrical, but went into Sunday as well.  I have a Gremlin that was giving me fits, so I had to step away.  But did go ahead and bleed my brakes and filled the rear end up with lube just to get those this out of the way.   The combination of tired, excitement, and frustration is tough to deal with.   :pullinghair:
Things are getting close... :bigsmile:
Here is a link to the dyno run:

Looks great!
I can see that the steering box side is a nightmare.  :scared: Did you use any hammer when installing headers?

The steering box and headers (TTI) all went together quite well.   Now, don't take that wrong,  it is tight in there.   That side did give me trouble.  But it was getting the engine mount, external oil pump, oil line routed without interference , and a dipstick that would work.   Took a lot of internet research, patience, and some trial and error to get it all to fit.

IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!  :bananasmi


So over the last couple weeks, I have been buttoning up the electrical and adding fluids.  While doing that every possible system that takes a fluid had a leak!   Then the electrical!!!  Turns out I actually did a good job on hooking up about 95% of that.  The last 4.5% was easy to fix.  That last .5% I had to step back and relax.   :clueless:
I also screwed up the clocking of the intermediate shaft while priming the oil system.  Again I had to step back and relax.  :drunk:  :dunno:
Every time I took a step back, I didn't sleep well.  Thinking about the issue all night.  Then when I woke up an hour or two earlier than normal, I would have an epiphany that tended to be right on the mark.
Things learned -  I learned there is not a circuit in the Painless Muscle Car harness that supplies at least 12V while in the Start and Run positions.   This is needed for the EFI ECM.
                            I also learned a lot about EFI with regard to how it is set up on this engine with a lot more still to learn!  (this was all from trying to get the intermediate shaft re-clocked)
                            Everything I did to get that engine to fit in the car with motor mounts is working!!!!
Bad things, but expected - I have to re-engineer a few things regarding the electrical system.  Nothing major.
 :woohoo:
