    '73 Challenger Resto-Mod | 2-26-25 trip to restoration shop

    Paint is on the car. The tail panel and taillights will be painted black. Things hopefully will progress fast at this point.

    '73 Challenger Resto-Mod | 1-31-2025 Visit to Restoration shop

    Visited the shop again on 1-31-2025. The car is now down on it's wheels again, the rear valance has been worked and installed and we are expecting one more coat of primer before final spray. they also re-installed the fuel pressure regulator, so that task is out of the way.

    Santa Came Early!!! Hellcat Redeye build with RMS suspension!!!

    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...

    Hemi swap using stock ECM-looking for help

    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...

    392 Hemi dipstick with mid-sump pan?

    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.

    392 Hemi dipstick with mid-sump pan?

    I've got the Holley blackheart cast manifolds with ceramic coating. the dipstick barely clears the back of the longer starter, but it snakes almost directly up from the block. It attaches to the valve cover. I did have to do a little adjusting, but overall, I'm happy with the fitment. I...

    Crate 6.4L Hemi 485hp - Exhaust Manifolds

    Yeah, I used the same one. Got it at the junk yard for $2 out of a late model Charger.

    392 Hemi dipstick with mid-sump pan?

    I used the Holley dip stick. Holley Gen III Hemi Oil Dipstick and Tube Kits 302-74 purchased from Holley direct. it was about $40. it bolted up easily and like yours dropped in just between the last two cylinders on the drivers side. Had to punch out the factory plug on the block. it has a...

    8HP90 Install help needed

    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.

    Hemi swap using stock ECM-looking for help

    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)...

    Hemi swap using stock ECM-looking for help

    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...

    Hemi swap using stock ECM-looking for help

    I am trying to sort out a factory based swap on a '73 Challenger. I have an engine out of a 2006 Charger and an ECM out of a 2007 Charger R/T. I was told that the 2007 ECM does not need the ABS module or front computer to run, so it can be used on a swap like this with only one computer...

    '73 Challenger Resto-Mod | Meanwhile.... At home working on the 5.7L hemi swap

    So while the car was at the body shop, i've been working on sorting out the stock ECM and wiring harness for the 5.7L swap. Now have the engine run stand fully populated and ready to start. Having a bit of an issue working out the ECM programming and wiring, but getting close. Update. Engine...

    Hellcat Cuda with Schwartz Chassis

    What trans tunnel is that? That looks like a pretty well engineered piece?
  20. Steering Geometry correction effort

    '73 Challenger Resto-Mod | Steering Geometry correction effort

    This is another "retro post". This was work I had done prior to putting on the wider tires. The problem was that I had my power steering box rebuilt by Steer and Gear, to the TA specifications. I purchased the longer pitman arm and the longer idler arm which was not part of the original TA...
