I like those also. I actually like the CF5V more, but they are only available in 19" & 20"

The perfect solution to the kickdown problem is a manual transmission...lol

You and me both. That's likely one of the biggest things I'm anxious to learn. I know what it use to MPH in the quarter mile from previous years at Moparty. I'm going again this year, so I'll know right away how the 5.7 compares. I think the weight difference is insignificant, but I'll run it...

Does the ECM not control the fuel pump? Seems like it should. You wouldn't want your pump constantly running while you have the key on and the engine not running.

Z-bar modification is done! I typically save small projects to do during the weeknights. All in this likely took just over an hour. I think I'm going to cut that whole corner off the bell housing. Things are just too close right there for me and I don't see any reason for it to be there...

Checking the small things off the list. Z-bar modification done!

That is a lot running on a 30A fuse. I think I have a 25A on 2 fans. I think I'd rather the fuel pump and fans be on a circuit with a relay and independent fuse. Also think you're on the right track with the fuel pump first. As I'm sure you know as the flow increases on a pump, so does the...

Check out Forgestar. They have some standard wheels but they can also customize offsets. I'm assuming they just turn the mounting pad down to what you need. Nicely priced as well.

I use my car differently than you, primarily a street car that I autocross. As you can imagine, autocross does a good job of stirring the oil on top of several RPM transients over the course of 40-50 seconds. Prior to running a catch can, I would get lots of oil residue in the intake manifold...

I love the idea of using a cuda tank. So many people use the mustang tank because they are fairly easy to make a flange and drop in. The only problem I have is now the tank is your trunk floor. This is much better.

Probably since I'm sure it will be more of a show car than go car, but small brakes with big wheels look dumb.

Not a ton of progress due to other obligations, and I needed to rewire my boat trailer lights. Whoever designed those pinch type connectors needs to have his whole house wired with them. What a crap design, especially on a trailer that goes into water!!!! Anyway, I got the car pushed outside to...

It's a Deutsch connector, 47 pins. You can use the connector assembler on Wirecare.com to figure out what you need. Sometimes you can find the parts on ebay with better pricing if you search by part number. Wire care is easy because it takes the guesswork out of it. I have these all over my car...

I lied. It came out tonight. This really wasn’t the plan, but while I when I was finishing up disconnecting the trans wires and driveshaft, I was like, 4 bolts and that trans is on the floor. Well, one thing led to another..

I drained the oil. No big chunks came out, so that's good...lol It honestly still ran good and revved like normal. The squeak clack sound is what got my attention.

I caught it somewhat early. I haven't spun it over to look at the other side of the cam, but the part I can see is fine. Probably just needs to be polished. Likely just needs a teardown and clean with a new set of lifters.

I don't have a prop valve since I run 4 wheel discs. But the lines do pass near the location of the stock valve. The car already had port EFI with a MS3X controller. It has an in tank pump in the Tanks Inc tank. I autocross regularly with varying levels of fuel and never once had a fuel...

Yep. Finally going to be one of the cool kids. I'm hoping to have the 408 out by tomorrow night. After that I just need to trim the frame rail pinch weld, swap the trans over, and it's going in!

Torque converter bushing removal tool 9000... Good for one use only...

Forgot to mention what I did there. The factory rods connect to a "mushroom" head type stud. They easily knocked out of the z-bar. I think they were just pressed in and not even welded. (aftermarket z-bar). The pedal was another story. If I remember correctly, I had to cut the head off and drill...

Check out post 197 of my build thread here --> 12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build To accommodate the offset for of the top rod where it connects to the z-bar, I just made a spacer to put between the heim and the z-bar. This setup has proven to work great and the adjustability is endless. The long...

Nope, not for me. I made all new linkage with heim joints. It’s smooth as butter.

Forgot to mention I have an HDK suspension, so this thing will just fall into place, or at least I hope so.

I'm using the cast lakewood housing. You can see there was a small interference with the TTI header, but that was easily fixed with a grinder. Note the clearance on the starter from an early 2500 with a manual trans. This thing is smaller than the mini starter on my 408! It will fall on the...

I also made aluminum fuel rails from some blank fuel rail extrusion.

For those not following along on my build thread, I'll highlight some of the G3 Hemi swap specifics here. Here's a quick background. 70 Duster I've owned since 1997. I use it as a cruiser, and autocross. It's got a 408 LA in it with solid roller cam, indbrock heads and port EFI made by yours...

Yes, No Problem Raceway. You are lucky there are so many events nearby. I was looking at the results from yesterday since I couldn't go, there were only 36 cars. The weather was nice, not sure why the turnout was so low.

It certainly is close. Pulling the 408 is my next large thing to do. Ringing wires out and modifying the z-bar will be weeknight projects this week. That street T is aluminum and the sensor doesn't weigh anything. It will be fine.

My local SCCA just released their May date and location. They are trying a new spot which happens to be the drag strip I used to frequent. There's also a small road course at that track and they are having the autocross on portions of the road course. I have to click this job into overdrive so I...

Hemi update! I was able to make some decent progress over the weekend. I got the let side fuel rail bracket made up so I'm calling that small project done except for the Cerakote. Note the hidden fuel rail pressure sensor. Also pinned out the engine harness connector. I still need to go...
