Building a 500/400 F.F.E. with Mega-Squirt

...and bro you know i kid when i say stupid motor...I totally respect your infinent wizdom when it comes to the almighty mopar world....I dont have 1% the knowledge that you have in your big toe......that motor ur building is gonna be a BEAST

Hey Bro, how's it going? The only MoPar in the show was my junk. They had a new CamaroSS a Z06 Vette and a bunch of older Shivs and 1 badass 2010 Cummins 4x4 BigHorn Ram Crew cab so I dint include any pics other than this Old R/T. I live 'Deep' in bowtie territory here, some cool MoPars but far and few in between. Sometimes they even let an occasional Ford in here. LOL

Not as much as my 'Hero' this guy! LOL  ( I met him at the Jon Kaase tech seminar at Rose Hulman Engineering), he's pretty sharp! His cylinder heads have wrought havoc to the competition. He's a brand X guy but his research is freaking leading edge stuff.

Forgot to mention there are some people on here that have forgotten way more than I'll ever know about these cars. Dont hesitate to ask them about any problems you might have. I have, and they have possibly saved me some very costly mistakes.

I think I'm gonna sell my Ol black Dodge 4X4. Then I'll have the funds for a real MoPar muscle car project, something I can beat on and street race.   I rode in a 1970 Hemi GTX today,(This one). I cant shake that Hemi feeling in my bones my man. Yes, DIO!!

Nice work man - and good luck on selling the truck.  I'd LOVE to have a 70 RR or GTX. 

[airfueleddie]

Thanks Tubbed. I got some new and used parts today. The QuickFuel Tech./Innovative Horsepower Solutions E-85 Carb is a 750 CFM DP. The psuhrods are 3/8 .080 5/32" ball to ball Trend units and the fuel log is a AeroQuip stainless and compatible with alcohol fuels. The Hooker 1 7/8 440 headers were bought for a song, and they wont fit a lowdeck in a chassis but will work fine on the dyno.

The carb, I got all my new parts from Scotty Brown at buy racing parts

Sorry it's been a while dudes, I'm in HAAS Tech. Training and CNC Prog. keeps me very busy. It's finally done, but since our Automotive Dept. isnt going to get a dyno, Ive had to assume ALL the financial burden of getting it to the testing phase. Anyways it's finally done and will go on my friends Stuska next WED!! I had to buy a SFI Steel Flywheel to attach it to his coupler, use my original SixPack bellhousing, new starter, pulleys, FBO Distributor, Water Pump, Headers, as soon as we get it running I'll post both pics/ and a vid or two. Specs: I set Lash to -.020 which is 1/2 turn on the pushrod adjuster with the lobe on the base circle, no 'play' in the pushrod then 1/2 turn on the adjuster, then lock it down. I will be using Conventional 15W-40 Shell Rotella and an Amsoil Ea0 Filter. I have 10 Gallons of E-85@2.39/Gall. to take with me. I didnt use or trust the 440 source water pump housing. The internal passages are 1/3 the size of the stock Chrysler housing so I sold it and used my old Direct Connection alloy housing. I did use the pump however.
