Looks awesome, nice project.
What exhaust you using, I see you dropped motor in without the manifolds.
No way that would work when I did mine, I can't even see the exhaust on the passenger side from the top, no way I could have bolted something on once the motor was in the car.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City!

No experience with Hooker, but I love my TTI.
I had a complete TTI system with the 340, bought new TTI shorties and head pipes for the 5.7 and it bolted right up to the existing system.
It's a tight fit in these E-bodies, those manifolds aren't coming off without pulling the motor.

Nice! I got to give you credit for being able to find and ship a car, build and resource parts all the way in Norway. It's hard enough to do here in the US.

Ok The story behind the Challenger is as follows. I had a Buick Super Sedanette 1949 ript it down and restored it, Thats one of a kind Car, under that restoration i bought a 66 Olds with a 455 and it had a engine that was realy craisy, it was imported from Canada, not by me i bought it in Norway. So one day when my son and i was on a car Show a guy came up to me and says nice cars you have Jan .
An of course you start talking after sayng thank you. Then this guy tels me he has a projekt standing in his garage and it has been standing there for many years, nexst
question is what sort of Car.
Wel this guy lives just 10 minutes drive from the show.
That was the start of a new era for me.
