    EYE CANDY …70 challenger 6.1 Hemi & 6-speed updated 6-29 video from Hot Rod
    « on: January 20, 2008 - 06:44:56 PM »
    The plan calls for a 6.1 hemi , a 5 speed, Alterktion front suspension and coil over rear from AirRide\RMS. :cooldancing:
    The Hemi’s been in and out several times working out all the little mods… Bugs… you know the usual stuff.  :working:
     I am using the Mopar AEM ECU and wiring it’s pretty straight forward (until I get to the tuning) :chatting:
    I am using a 727 for startup & setup, and then adding the 5 speed. :misbehaving: Some frame stiffening with sub frame connectors and bracing.  So far any way…
    I should have the Alterktion in for the last time by next weekend.  :swaying:
    There are several post with similar setups I hope we can help each other out… :worshippy I know I will welcome all input and advice anyone wishes to share.

    So please post here or email me what you can. Thank you.
    Thank You
    Scott :bigshades:

    Looking good!   

    But, you've got big brass ones to be rolling the car around on that jack-stand/roller cart (second to the last pic) deal.

    Hi Scott,

    Glad to see you started your own restoration thread.  Your car is awesome.  You should post the pictures you sent to me.  They were great.

    Can I ask what the sound deadening materials you used and where you got it?  Is it easy to install?  I'll be putting it in my car in Phase 2 of my build.

    Thanks.  John

    Thanks It really pops in the sun… its Viper Race Yellow I wanted a brighter modern color(but I had to keep it in the family).

    Pictures … Pictures….Ok you asked for it… :picture:
    photo #26 Some adjusting of the motor mount, as you can see I added a notch for the 6.1 factory headers to clear.
    In # 25 I tried to show were some grinding was needed for a little clearance for the 95 and up 5.2 magnum starter to clear the block.
     # 21 & 22 shows were I mounted the AEM ECU.   
    enjoy... your candy hemiken
