So, basically what started years ago with "wonder how much abuse itll take" and me beating on my NA smogger 440, its not somehow grown into a stealth headed, single billet 80mm (T6 divided, 1.32ar) vs racing turbo.

Basic run down from top to bottom: Dual needle and seat CSU 850, swap meet special 60 dollar team G manifold, OOTB stealth heads (didnt even really look at them, just threw copper spray on the cometics and slapped them on) completely stock bottom end '74 440, I didnt gap the rings, I half checked a rod bearing when I did the rear main seal, and its got a .509 cam stabbed in it. I had a cam ground for the combo, but let's face it, ill never install it. Stainless 2.5" hotside (didnt go 3" to keep the velocity up since its a foot brake street car) then the nice topper is a 4" fender dump. Im "that guy" and thatll probably never change. Plan is pump e85, start off around 10-12psi and cross my fingers with it.


A true, untouched low mileage short block that got fogged street hemi orange.

Mocking up how I wanted the trunk laid out. Aeromotive stealth cell (20 gallon) with an in tank eliminator pump (good for around 1200 wheel on e85.

Rolled it outside for some sun bathing and cleaning the garage.

I still have a bit to do on it, im 90% done with a full rewire, doing body work here and there. Hoping in the next month or two to have it fired off, then make an appointment to take it to the dyno.
 
This is the setup I was originally going to run, then as I got a little older I wanted to start making the car a little "nicer" and not so thrown together, now it serves as garage decoration on one of the spare 440 blocks.

Looking Good!

Haven't gone for it yet and ain't getting any younger but been wanting a Turbo Powered MOPAR Muscle car for years now so I really love what your doing there and in some regards wish I was still living in the Onterrrrio Varrio so I could visit and see it up close.
 
Badass. It's lookin like a Death Race car. lol
 
I love this car and the whole theme. When you get ready to fire it let me know. I’ll come by. Or if you need a hand with anything before then let me know.
 
Love the 4" dump, maybe a flange so you can throw on a Cobra style side pipe along the rocker. I wonder how that tire will fare... Wrap that portion of pipe? Have a "coming out" (car wise) party. Ill show up!

Who are you going to have dyno it?

Ill let you know for sure. Just waiting on some bulkhead fittings to be made so I can get the fuel system finished up. Being stubborn and want to go through the torsion bar cross member instead of under/around.

Itll grace the rollers of Westech, I know all the guys there pretty well.

Before it goes on the dyno and gets any real miles on it I want to have the down pipe ceramic coated. If the budget allows ill do the whole hotside, but that will most likely end up wrapped and call it good enough.

I think there might be enough fairly local people that want to see this thing that itll turn into a car show. Definitely didn't expect anyone to like it.

Nice. I’d like to come see that as well. Hopefully you can convince Brule to twist a little magic on your carb.

You'd be surprised how many people haven't been a fan of this thing actually.

It won't take much to convince Brule to put his hands on it I dont think. Its convincing troy to keeps his hands off it thats the trick.
 
We could always have a mask free, legal "protest" gathering over that senate bill banning modded cars and just show up with all our...modded cars!

Na I wouldn’t be surprised at all. There are stuck up people all over. For some car guys it’s their way only and everyone else is wrong. Hell you should see how the Ford guys act when I drive up in my 63 falcon with a Honda V6 in it. I know all too well how people can act sometimes. But I kinda thrive on it, bring on the haters.
 
pishta said:
@TT5.9mag yeah, we need to see this! It should motivate me to get off my *** and finish my build! @Turbo440Dart Fall fling deadline or sooner?

Agree. And @pishta I just heard from Kyle, he finally was able to drive the old Dodge pickup to work today.

Sorry to derail your thread @Turbo440Dart. Back to regular scheduled programming.
