Scarface Challenger build

[fumanchu182]

That thing is moving, looking forward to seeing more results. Did you track down why the FI wasn't cooling as well?

Nice runs for a day of testing and shake down. Work that 60' and watch the times drop. DA wasn't the best for you either.

@Speedy It definitely needs some more on the bottom end, it almost feels lazy getting out of the hole. I need to visit with @zhc on that and see if we can do something with the tune or if we need to up the boost.

Have not posted in a while….we locked the motor up on Nov 26th at a test and tune. I have not opened the motor yet to see what happened. It locked up when I got out of the throttle at the beams. Of course my tablet was dead and I did not log that run. I ended up purchasing a complete engine that is a 426 and is suppose to be good for 30psi and 1600rwhp. Old engine should be out next week and then get the new engine in and tuned.

Since I have not been working on my car, I started on this project. It is on a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT, stock 5.7 engine.

 

[Tuckerracing]

Old motor is out, may have this thing up and running by the end of the week.

 

[Tuckerracing]

A little mock-up on the new motor, still waiting on a few parts to come in so we can get it installed and tuned.

Real curious what happened to the original 426.

@Speedy! the original motor was the stock 6.2 no upgrades. I have not pulled a head or the oil pan to check but I suspect a bent rod. No damage to the oil pan or block and all the intake valves look good, oil was not milked. I am going to pull the head when I get the engine back to my shop and will see what happened. We were about 18lbs of boost and making over 1000 at the rear wheel so I am pretty sure it bent a rod.

I pulled my motor in Nov. thinking I was pushing my luck, everything inside looks perfect.
now building a 411 using original block but of course held up on parts.

I really like those solid mounts but wonder what it would be like on the street.

@oilburner my car is probably 95% track use and rarely on the street except to have the state inspection done and when we do the cruise for the street car class races. I have not ran this motor mount setup before, once it is running and I have a chance to drive it I will post here how it feels. I also pulled all the power steering off and went with a manual rack and pinion and had a custom built tubular cradle made.

 

[Tuckerracing]

More progress, new cradle, manual steering and engine are installed. Still waiting on a few small parts to install the Magnuson and the new Sipple Built transmission. Got the cage set-in the car and will start the install today.

 

[Tuckerracing]

Rpm Rollbar is installed along with the Kirkey seats

 

[Tuckerracing]

The new transmission and torque convertor were delivered and are ready to be installed. This is the Sipple Speed and Performancr Max Effort package with a SunCoast 3300 convertor.
