Dookie's 426 Rebuild

Thanks Chase...now when I spend money on it, it'll be to make it look better, not run right. :erm:
Last night it ran well, good fuel trims, good idle quality, and never stalled...it has changed tones a few times now, everything getting seated and broken in. I'm changing the oil and filter today, then put another 50 miles on it, then do some WOT runs...Last night i was heading to a friends house and goosed it from a 55 MPH roll in 5th...it flashed the converter dropped two gears and broke traction...:grin:

I had LT's on it, and they would hit everywhere, my car is very very low, and with the LT's i only had about 2-1/2 to 3 inches of ground clearance. I ended up knocking the shit out of passenger side in some road construction and created a leak...on this build, factory shorties fits the bill fine.

Thanks homie, mucho appreciato.

 

Something else worth mentioning...I upgraded the negative cable off the battery and tranny and just before I began this, i bought the Sears Diehard Platinum (Odyssey made) 930CCA rated battery, and replaced my starter with a Bosch from NAPA...My car never started so easily, not even in factory form.

 

Another thing worth mentioning...If anyone is doing P to V clearance check and needs some solid lifters to perform the task...I made some, and will happily loan them out. I took two stock lifters and welded them solid.

 

300 miles and counting...this is such a different animal than my last motor...it runs so efficient, sounds like a sewing machine, and pulls like a freight train.

 

lol...sorry guys...
No, new block, aquired from Hemi~C (Chris) and shipped to me by the King of Mopar (Cam).

Tuning will be handled locally by Total Performance Solutions...EXCELLENT reputation around here...Wes (tuner) is the shit on all makes and models...his first love is SVT, but now owns and drives daily an 09 Chally with SMS supercharger. The guy really knows his shit with tuning...They have had CMR since Jan. 09 and has tuned dozens of rides. He knows me and loves my car, and is very interested in tuning it to perfection...plus he offered a bonus tune on some high octane fuel to really see the potential.

I added some Chally style stripes today, whatcha think?


Goes well with my emblems

As long as you have shafts to go with em...sure

Thanks Dan...i finally have a bad ass motor...reliable and strong.

 

lol..Push my ass...I'll crank it up and put it in reverse...

Gimme a minute, i'll get a better pic.

 

Look, my camera sux!...deal with it...

 

LMAO...Okay, thanks..i *think*
