Mounting the radiator in rubber bushings is a way to reduce the loads on the radiator which improves life. Aluminum and soldered brass do not have an endurance limit. What that means is that the material will eventually fail no matter what load is placed on it. It may be years, decades, but...

Additional update. I did not know the history of the 2007 ECU that I purchased as I got it from Ebay. When I went into HP tuner, it was programmed as a 2007 Dodge Charger 5.7L ECU. However, it was throwing code P2533. I have a buddy at a local dealer and we tracked down that this error code...

I added 6 quarts to the Holley Mid Sump oil pan and the dipstick showed right in the acceptable range. It did not have to be re-marked.

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't dropped mine in the car yet, but I purchased the holley stock mount in anticipation of dropping it in when my car returns from the body shop.

Update: I just got it fired and running. the throttle works too. However, the wiring is not consistent with the wiring diagrams in the factory shop manual. that has me a bit perplexed, but it works. The manual shows that in the start position, that the C1 connector pin 30 (yellow wire)...

Would love to hear how your project goes. What rearend ratio are you going with?

Yes, Chris at Hotwire was super helpful. I will likely use his setup. the transmission on the stand is a 2019 8HP70. This is an unnatural combo. However, for this setup, I'm just trying to make the engine run. My car is in the body shop, so this is a mental exercise to see if I can make this...
