    yeah, it started right up and sounded fine...just a little off but nothing to cause concern to any of us there. No codes, all pressures were ok.

    Drove, a little underpowered but nothing bad.


    Motor is going to Stu sometime this week.

    No disrespect Nat.. just commenting on your comfort level to pull this apart in your driveway.. like it is a little more than oil change..

    and the second part sounds like you have determine why you had encountered the problem.. was fuel pressure too high or low? Can CC blow off situation be resolved???

    Pretty much guaranteed fuel pressure was an issue isn't it? You said you would see the pressure drop on the gauge. Isn't it that any drop in pressure means the injectors are trying to draw more than the pump is supplying? and you're going to be running lean at that point?

    IF it was just fuel pressure my EVER assuming friend then it would be more than one cylinder.... I had front and rear fuel crossovers for the rails so no dead area of fuel. I am going to change the setup fhough and ditch the rear crossover and do a return from the driver's side to the tank to keep the fuel cooler.

    Injectors.... 93# monsters

    Pump Aeromotive 1000... capable of supporting 1200 HP



    but again you knew all that I am sure, I must of missed you next to me pulling the motor, and all the times I asked for the 10 MM you ignored me. Tisk Tisk.

    Nathan, quit being a dick....the dude is just trying to help, you seem to take things to heart and personal. I'm sure Dave has other things to do than to sit and wait for you to post something so he can ASSUME you're doing it wrong.

    You get more flys with honey bud.

    No codes? WOW...idled okay, and driveable like that...crazy shit.

    Only took me 2 months to get from the engine stand to putting it in the truck to take to Texas to get rebuilt... this motor will be installed sometime this next year in another Magnum as a project and my old N/A 426 is currently being freshened up to go back into the SRT Magnum.
