Stinkeye Challenger build....

Uh.. just a bunch of necessary detail and fabrication work getting done by me before dropping the new motor. Puke tank plumbing. Second chute cable. Detailing the engine compartment and wheel wells with the gray primer used underneath. I just got done designing and fabricating a way to connect the 5th and 6th point placement of my new harness. The NHRA in their wisdom 🙄 has decided that cars running 7.99 now need to change to a 6 point harness. My current harness cert expires tomorrow anyway so 🫤

Getting ready to bake this cake. With everything gathered up for roll call and photo shoot, the assembly begins. My job is to weigh and match the pistons, rods and pins to get them as close to matched as possible. Then some massaging for perfection 😎. Callies Ultra Billet crankshaft with CP Carrillo forged rods and billet pistons.

One of the things that has been hidden away and will come into the light is my new cylinder head combination. A set of Thiteck Bears with a custom turbo configuration. Huge exhaust setup with these. A T&D shaft rocker system with custom Crower billet cam and Johnson lifters.

That looks like a lot of pennies.

You made my wallet cry 😂

Well definitely an awesome choice.

Yes it is 🫣. Fortunately for me I’m paying wholesale on everything and not paying for the huge labor costs that a “customer “ would be looking at. Even still… it’s formidable. The parts choices are based on the cry once model. There’s been a collective participation from some of the big names in the industry like CP Carrillo and Callies and others that wont be mentioned. Some really trick proprietary stuff like coatings that aren’t even available to the “public”. Top Fuel level secret shit 🤓. Anyway…. Considering that I just turned 78 and you can’t take it with you…..
