Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392
So, things changed up after stumbling across a 6.4 that just had to good of a price to pass.. Sold off all the 5.7 stuff. With that, I'm starting a new thread to track things and progress.
The 6.4 that I grabbed was out of a 2019 Charger with 32k miles (got Hellcat Swapped) So this past weekend, I went ahead and got the 318 outta the way, tossed on the Holley pan on the 392 and did a test fit.. Most just for the hell of it plus I wanted to get a rough idea of how much room I'd have for AC fittings behind the 6.1 intake. I pulled it back out and went ahead and pulled the steering column for mods and removed the dinosaur of a steering box.
TTI shorties and mids will be here today, plus I ordered a new Borgeson Box & Coupler along with motor mounts (Schumacher /6) from Classic Industries.. they had a little sale over the weekend. I wanna gonna just make my own mounts but screw it.. Also ordered the Holley in tank pump and a new 3/8 steel fuel line. I really do think I'm gonna beef up the 904 and run it. Not like it's gonna be at the track every weekend plus there are some guys that do prefer them at the track. To each their own, live and learn, time will tell yada yada.
I should have everything I need by Friday, to do a proper test fit this weekend.. Mounts, headers and steering box.I am gonna try to squeeze it forward a touch. However much the headers will allow. That probably means a little fab work on trans mount, column shift mount etc. but I really want that extra space. If the 6.4 intake will clear my lines, I'll just run it... maybe. The 6.1 intake is pretty sexy.
Going to also take this opportunity to clean and paint the engine bay.. stock color. Stripped most of the stuff out so far. Once it's all mocked, Ill get after it.
