Rubbel's '09 Challenger SRT8 *INSANE* Project by BMC ... It Begins!

The lighting was cool the other night, so I took some pics of Rubbel's Challenger behind the shop. The sun was setting, but the halogen lights on the building were on, with one shining on the car. I didn't use a flash.

















I think the last one is my favorite.

 

They are ALL great shots. And yes, the lighting was perfect.

I favor #3 photo...

 

Tough to watch your car be dismantled like it is when you have barely driven it, hurts just seeing the pics of it being taken apart.

 

Some goods news. Looks like we have someone to upgrade the T6060 to handle 1200 HP and 1000 TQ. I'll be the guinea pig on this.

 

damm this is a cool build!!!

 

I would think these would be some entries in the photo contest, great shots!!!

 

PPPTech has announced their new Stage III heads that are bada**. I feel extremely lucky to be having PPP building my engine and will be using these new heads in my project. Their quality is really going first class!!! :thanks: to Andy at PPP. Your the best!!! This build gets more insane every step of the process.

Quote from PPPTech follows:

 

Very nice heads...

lol I guess third time is a charm, eh Rubbel? lol You could have edited your first post. wink

 

Andy of PPP gets the credit for posting these pictures. I just put a copy here. Took three posts to get them to show. You would think after all my posts I'd have this fiqured out. Hope I can go the right direction down the track!!!:grin:

 

Thanks very much!! :flowers:

Yeeeeehaw for the new heads. Only the best for rubbel, and PPP FTW!!

 

We received the twin pump fuel system today which will support 1000hp! We will be making our own lines here, so shown is just the pumps and set-up for the rear.



Thanks to John at Modern Muscle in IL for supplying this!

 

Very nice, that twin pump is awesome....Great job BMC!!!!!!

 

Delivered my Techco to BMC today. Got to see my car for the first time since December. BMC shop looked really great and so did the work performed on my car. Pictures don't show just how fantastic the roll cage fits into the car. Great work Lisa! Thanks for spending some time with me! My car is now officially called " INSANE"

 

Well, the T6060 transmission is out for new 9310 gears to be installed. The Ford 8.8 rear end should be available soon, and Techco promised to deliver the pullies I need to make 15-18 psi. 800+ rwhp here I come. Wish everything was happening faster but I have to say both Lisa at BMC and Andy at PPP have done a great job so far. Just sent Lisa the custom fuse box cover as well. Should have all the drivers safety equipment in less than two weeks. Also decided to add sequential tailights and pulsing third brake light that were shipped out today. Won't be too long until this insane beast is up and running! :rofl2:

 

The flywheel is here!! We have been working with a terrific manufacturer to have a high performance clutch and flywheel made for this build and while I can't yet reveal who has produced everything for us, here are some photos of the new flywheel ...











The stock flywheel weighed 24lb, and this new one weighs 17lb. We will have these for sale once this build it completed.

 

Kris just found this little article about our build for Rubbel on the Challenger Blog site: http://www.challengerblog.com/blog/1018407_2009-dodge-challenger-project-by-bmc-performance

 

I just got these pics from Andy at PPP of Rubbel's new 426 short block ... it's bagged in these pics, but we'll get some more once PPP receives it and then it should be on the way to us!!

 

Wow!!! What a great job Andy from Power Ported Performance did on this!!!!!

 

We have tons of new parts here for the build, but are still waiting on some key pieces (motor, rear end, transmission) so we've been working on the smaller stuff. Gauges are in progress now, battery switch, seats, harnesses, etc. are all going in next. Here is a pic of the sweet harnesses Jim picked out for his car.

 

LOTS has been happening with this build, and we've been so busy working I've been remiss in posting updates and pics! I'm going to get you guys all caught up today, so stay tuned ... here's we go.

The 8.8" rear-end from Paramount arrived so we will be installing that this coming week!
