Looking good. What are you doing for a fuel tank? I am doing a 6.4 swap into a 71 Cuda at the moment.

Ordered mounts from TTI with their headers. Also ordered an oil pan from Charlies(2 weeks to build) I am still dealing with a pretty bare shell at this point.

js27nob

Thats a nice start  :crazy:

We should compare notes, have you started a parts list\ vender of needed stuff for the 6.4 yet?
I have a short one but am always looking for what’s new, I need a good radiator source and I am still working on a throttle cable bracket and exhaust flanges for the factory headers. Lots of little stuff.

Good luck with yours...

Just got confirmation of my new radiator today…
Fred worked with me really well to get me what I wanted for my 6.1 using the stock radiator mounts on my core support  and clear my alterktion mount as well.  I will post more photos as I test fit it.

I'll be following your test fit with interest!! That fan kit looks like one I installed for a customer that he purchased with a BE-COOL radiator pkg.

I have been liking these big inch wheels more and more, maybe its this picture.  Would look great on the Yellow Rag Top. :2thumbs:

I saw that car in Indy last year.  The wheels really do look awesome on it.  I think that car was also running a 6.1 Hemi and had houndstooth interior.  I was very impressed.  I think the builder has made a couple of them so far.
