That spool mount that TTi sells that you show is for spool k members 73-76. I’m using a stock ‘69 K member which would require the biscuit mount. But I do like the idea of moving the passenger mount on the stock K for the oil filter. I may give some thought to that since I do have some amount (not much!) of fabricating and welding skills. I could probably do that cheaper than the block off plate and relocation filter actually. Hmm decisions decisions....

The truck cover will interfere up top with the intake manifold. There were spacers available at one time that may take care of that.
With ported heads and intake manifold and the right cam, that car will do 10.80s. Will need drag radials of course.

You sure he used SRT manifolds? They are different from the standard 5.7 manifolds, and the pictures don't look like SRT manifolds to me. Couldn't find anywhere that he said they were either.
Just asking for clarification to make sure it is clear so someone doesn't spend money/time on a setup that might not work.
I know of one install on here with SRT manifolds (not sure Jeep or other), and he had to clearance the passenger side frame rail to use them.
Just trying to verifying the info.
I used the Jeep 5.7 manifolds.

Which are different than the 6.1/6.4 SRT manifolds, correct?
Correct. The one pictured is a 6.1 Jeep SRT manifold. The 5.7 Jeep manifolds are a "log" type manifold. The dumps come out in the perfect spots.
Should also note, that, the 6.4 Jeep SRT manifold is a different cat altogether than the 6.1 even. They almost resemble a Chevy truck manifold from the 80's .
Started cleaning the engine bay to see how good or bad of shape the paint was in. So far, it hasn’t turned out too bad!
The driver’s side took a lot of elbow grease to get the caked on gunk. There was something underneath the grease that seemed to be almost bonded to the paint in front of the shock mount opening. It took about an hour to get that one small area cleaned.

Looks good! Make sure to snap pics of those SRT Manifolds, installed. We're all countin' on ya!
That's pretty much what mine looked like after I cleaned it up. A little touch up paint, and you're good to go.

Have no intentions of doing this, but FOLLOWING thread-------
The 6.1 Jeep manifolds showed up today. These really are neat pieces and appear that they will to do a very good job at keeping tight to the block. I am thinking of cleaning these up I some way, I am just not sure which method yet. Tossing around a few ideas in my head.

No more Scoops
Got the Cuda done? any video's...Hope all is well
It’s been forever seems since I’ve been back here. Lots of life events have happened over the last couple of years and I’ve started to grow little interest in throwing the money and time into this project unfortunately. I’ve had friends disappointed to hear this as well as some of you may be, but I just need to cut my ties on this one. For now I plan on keeping the 6.1 for a different project. Car and original drivetrain and interior comes with it. If there’s any interest, let me know. I will be posting it up soon.

If you decide on letting the 6.1 go I’d be interested. Sorry for your loss of interest hope life is going better for you or at the least getting better.

Sorry you have to let car go. Car looks like a decent car for someone to build so hopefully gets a good home and gets built back on the road.
This car is a big reason for me to decide to stop on the project. At some point in the future, I will be able to purchase it. It’s so beautifully done, Hemi under the hood, originally a 340 Formula S car, it really needs nothing. So instead of devoting time and money into the project car, I’ll save up for this one and won’t have to put in all the time and effort to build one that won’t be half as nice.
But I do hope to find a home for the project car so it can be put back on the road again one day.

That 68 is a beauty 
I am deciding to let the drive train go on this project. I am selling the 6.1, the SRT8 jeep manifolds, engine mounts, and A518 transmission if anyone is interested. I’ll make an official post in the for sale section later. I am overwhelmed with projects and need to get rid of things.

I’ll be looking for it. I just spent a bunch of money on Eagle heads but may be enough left for a 6.1.
I would also be interested in what you're asking.
