Yo, I'm lost at sea in the boomer ocean

Like it's such a challenge now. When you can't figure something out, you have an entire network of people to help you with your problem. You can buy a swap kit to basically put any motor into your a body. Also the formula is the same with gas cars, Gee I wonder which makes makes more power out...

What can be reused is reused, free lithium and nickel in the US is far cheaper than shipping it from the salt lakes in South America

You need to go outside more and get off of Facebook

Gas will flow until we run out. It's not some bottomless resource. Fresh water is becoming a fleeting resource by the day as well. Natural gas and "clean" coal are destroying the ice caps and glaciers and if you ever go to Alaska, you can see it for yourself. Pretty depressing stuff. I love my...

Batteries get recycled, simple as that

Another simple thing, could be a clogged fuel filter. The mech fuel pump only working at idle for a prolonged period of time may not have the suction to overcome a bad filter, where as when the motor is up in the revs, the pump can overcome the blockage. Also, be weary of what kind of fuel pump...

Greyhound is stupid cheap, shipped a 115 pound transmission from the east to west coast for 200 bucks. UPS//Fedex was around twice that

The nice thing with Hellcat motors/engines/who gives a rat's *** is that a trans that can easily handle the power is already hooked up to it. A bodies are miles lighter than the current gen challenger so the performance would be insane. Can a body chassis handle that much power without...

He's already measured it, also the vibration comes on much sooner than 80mph

Did it still vibrate on jack stands?

I would try putting the rear on jack stands, as an earlier post said, and run it through the gears. If you're not careless you could also try doing that with the rear wheels off of the car as well just to verify. If you have front discs, you may as well check the brake rotors for flatness. I've...

The "quick fix" is tuning your carb so that its not running so rich that it spews oil out of the tailpipe

A blow through carb is going to be pretty tough to tune. Especially since your knowledge of turbos is limited. Fueling is only one small part of boost, timing is also really critical in balancing power and total engine failure. No knock sensors to be found on those old super sixes. I'd do an msd...

I'd also pull the coil wire off to make sure it doesn't start up while it's still dry while cranking
