here is my build thread.
hope that this comes out the way i envision it will.
the car is a 1967 dodge charger. bare bones no option b body with a small block stroker in it currently. started life as a white exterior blue pin stripe blue interior vehicle.
currently running a 408 small block/4 speed non console drive train.
here is a current pic of the vehicle as it sits on the american racing salt flats.
the car has a set of 15x10 on the rear and its running some 295 series bfg's for now.
cal tracs will be going on soon also.
the front end has a 1.08 diameter torsion car and ill be updating to billsteins soon.
the hemi i am building is based on a 3rd generation block. 6.1 liters to be exact. which comes out to a 370 inch displacement.
the block is a slightly used block from a srt8 jeep. since i closed my shop a few years ago i have a few of these things laying around so i figure why not build it ?
the block is bored .030 for a finished bore of 4.080. the stroke is coming in at 4.080 for a square motor of 426 inches.
the crank is a k-1 piece and is forged. the rods are a h beam design and use a small journal chevy pin. .927 wrist pins also.
the piston i have for the combo is a 9.0:1 piston based on the stock 76cc chamber of the 6.1 hemi head.
its using a 1mm/1mm/3mm ring pack of standard tension. the piston is built for a boosted application.
this is a pretty standard build on the short block and has been done numerous times by myself. i have one like this making in the area of 1200 hp at the wheel so i think it should hold up well for what i am doing.
the heads i have are a set of 6.1 hemis. the heads i ported and move right at 381 peak on the intake with a exhaust peak of 230 cfm. the chamber i modified slightly to improve the airflow and to help tame any unwanted detonation.
valves are a 2.08 diameter intake one piece stainless valve. the exhaust is a 1.59 diameter stainless btw made by ferrera. the valve train consists of a PAC pacaloy beehive spring. Ti retainers coming in at a whopping 4.5 grams each in weight. stock shaft rocker system will be used.
the intake will be a highly modified stock style 6.1 aluminum intake. runner length with be fine for what im doing and i did extensive port work to it.
the throttle body diameter is 80 mm currently. i have no plans to go any larger.
the header system is a set of the TTI swap headers. that way they can match up to the TTI header back system i already have. oil pan is by mancini racing and motor mounts are also TTI. they need slight mods to get to fit correctly.
i will be using a srt8 jeep style oil filter adapter. it is a 45 degree piece and angles out nicely. i should no need to modify the k member at all.
fuel system is a tweaked magnaflow 500 gph pump i used on a alcohol/nitro motor. matching regulator also. fuel pressure will be set at about 60 psi.
using a mild sump i think and a 1/2 inch bent system from fine lines or a teflon/braided system. still undecided on that right now.
i have both systems so its not much work either way i think.
im planning on using e-85 in this build. so i am leaning towards the braided system.
i also have a vortech blower system. this was built for a srt8 jeep and is going to be converter to at least a t trim head unit. the brackets should bolt on fine and all with plenty of room. its a passenger side mount system.
i have a front mount intercooler system also. not sure i wanna cut anything on the car to install such a piece tho. this is a car i have owned for 25 plus years i bought from the original owner so i am partial to it.
here are a few pics for you to digest. its still in the works right now. i may start the install this winter. i still need to get the FAST xfi system of the alternative.
once i get it its game on.
