Decided to pull the B1 and go forward with the hemi, rack has to repositioned and new fuel tank built but progress is being made, apsects of the build have gone beyond my skills now and the fabricator working on the car is doing great work I will post progress pictures if there is interest

Pictures you say...? Of course!

Mid plate has been milled to clear right bank and started mounted to mid plate

Man, that thing is wall to wall engine. 2 BLOWERS??? Should be a ride to remember.

Just a plenum going on top of the manifold so one centrifugal blower. Yeah its really a tight squeeze, just glad it fits

Nice choice with the Hemi/Procharger. Hold on! That thing is going to fly!

Wow that thing is killer!

Awesome

Very cool. Can we see more of the car? Do you have a class in mind?

Not the most recent pic but what I have on the computer, have posted progress pics of the car in the past but the engine switch is the most recent update

More recent with the B1 engine that I am likely selling

Hopefully when you are done there will still be some cement on the starting line at Castrol... Looking forward to seeing another kick butt mopar at our track!

Hemi's LOVE boost!! Tryin to run with GO GREEN??

Boy you are not foolin around!! looks great

nice ride. this brings up a QQQQQ I've been thinking about. will BAE heads fit on a factory 440 block?

That is NOT a stock block,,,,,,wonder if it's a water block,,,,,,,

Block is solid billet BAE block (no water passages) same with the heads.

Only really interested in getting this project running and at the track hopefully this summer at this stage no ET target in mind would just like to have it go point a to b as a start.

The heads will only work on hemi block ( differnt head stud configuration than ) as well much larger head stud diameter.

Even if those heads could be made to fit, that stock 440 block would be reduced to shrapnel about 1 second into the run. LOL

Just plain mean looking.........good luck man.....

I love the look of the blower and mounts, do you have more info on that?

I would like to hear more on the combination and the car specs... also what are your goals? Looks good so far.

Very nice! beautiful car too.

No burnout then??
Edge, love the car.

Engine is a BAE -.500 billet block with Brad VI heads 471 CID
All pretty standard alcohol engine internals
I had the mechanical injection system flowed by Travis Quillen
Transmission is a Lencodrive unit set up as a 3 speed ( decided we did not need the fourth gear).
Rear end is M/W aluminum modular unit.

A few more changes to the car

beefier motorplate

new crank trigger set up

Simply Bad To The Bone!

Just plain stupid brutality going on here. The starting line guys will feel violated....

Zoomies !

Hogan intakes are like jewellery for engines I cant stop staring at it, its a slow process getting this together but will be worth the wait

oil filter, fuel and vent tanks added

[/quote]

Holy crap, what are you expecting for power out of this thing?

You guys are building some nice cars

Should make 1800 hp without leaning on it very much, our goal is to get it on a chassis dyno by the fall.

That should definitely get the job done, and then some. Nice work too.

A few more progress pics, charge tube and mag will just be above hood line, pretty much everything is now mounted in engine bay and vent tank has been moved to rear of car

Which heads and rocker gear to you go with?
I've seen some awesome looking BAE race parts on a friends BAE #8 race motor
OOPS, I just read the second page
Building new combinations of race parts like your doing take time, effort and money
Keeping it at or below 1800 HP is going to be very hard, me thinks

Stunning

Holy s#$t that is bad a$$!

If it were mine I would be buying spare underware

Yes,,I want one.

Thanks, this has taken more time and money than I could have imagined when I started to rebuild but I am still determined to try and get it right.

I just got moist wow !

All the bare aluminum and steel is back from being anodized or plated and the 12 point black ARP hardware throughout car. These little details add some expense but hopefully add to the finish of the car.

Chance converter installed in Bonifante can for the lencodrive all ready to go into car.

More progress pictures just a few more lines and wiring remain.

OCD guy wonders if you can get MSD decals for that ignition box so they're not upside down?

What a Beautiful build!!! can't believe this is into page 3 and I just noted it!

I'm smellin low 4's for sure!

Wow! That will get some adrenaline flowing.

Very cool!

Very nice.



Tim

Beautiful car and should be very fast but I gotta ask as have others. What class are you building the car for?

Building the car for a couple of classes in our area Top Eliminator class where dragsters and door cars run under T/S and T/D rules and a Door Slammer class that runs on a .400 tree with a min dial. So basically we will start out running as a pretty quick bracket car. Down the road who knows ?

Yeah the points box upside down drives me a little crazy as well but I will have to learn to live with it

Very envious mate, awesome.

I haven't seen this thread before, I love your build. Looking forward to seeing more, best of luck with her

Starter's in the wrong position!

More progress, fuel tank back from anodizing and oil lines installed

its just an optical illusion took picture in a mirror

Very cool build!!!! Good luck with it!

One of .... the best build on here

What's your timeline for completion?
Very nice indeed.

Wicked!

BASA$$ for sure...

Bad to the bone! Dumb question, but is this the same car that was originally built by JCR Chassisworks? Also this thing outta run bottom 6's huh?

Previous timeline was last summer ! However everything looks very positive for this summers/

Different car than the JCR build...that is a very nicely built car for sure. Even considering that this is the same car I will take as a complement. The way I have supercharger pullied we wont be making enough power for bottom sixes and the driver is not ready for that matter. We will try to take it one step at a time.

All under the hood

Bada$$!

Injectors have been cleaned, flowed and installed ( 210's and 700's), car will idle and run part throttle on the 210's. Fuel lines and oil lines in place. Injector harness is next.

Line lock and brake lines now installed

Getting close. Can't wait for some vids

Getting closer !

Vent tank and lines running from burndown tubes to the back of the car. Decided better to have any oil behind the rear wheels and I see more cars with the vent tank in the rear more recently.

Should be firing car up pretty soon !

What size tubing are you using for your breathers going to your vent tank? Where did you get it? I'm going to do a similar set-up in my Dart.

For the vent tubing 1 1/4 inch is specified by NHRA for blown alcohol. NHRA also lists some different types of "approved vent tube". The spec tubing is available on line for example at quartermax for $11 -$20/foot. Spent way too much time looking for alternatives as well 1 1/4 is not a popular ID. Good vibrations sells a simple PVC hose however PVC hose does not stand up well to methanol or oil. The line I used is PVC with a urethane coating on the inside it is actually air seeder hose that I had laying around right under my nose the whole time. In theory it should stand up well but we will see. The urethane coating is intended for reduce wear flowing abrasive material in the hose. You can buy it at most farm supply stores. If I recall this came from the John Deere dealership.

Here are a few more pics of the routing of the vent lines from the burn down tubes, through fire wall and finally along frame rail. My fabricator built a catch can at the low point of the tubing so any oil that accumulates in the lines can be drained from the system.

I have no idea why some of these photos are flipped when I upload them ?

Thanks for the info. I'd planned on running -12 from the valve covers to a T, then 1 1/4" from there back to my tank. Looks like I'll have to rethink that, lol. Very nice set-up you have. Can't wait to see how it runs.

Fire bottles installed

Chute launchers mounted

I can't wait for you to get to the track! Thanks for the killer updates! One FYI with the air launchers if you've never used them. Make sure that no part of the bag can get hooked around that push disc as it will bend the plunger upon deployment. I have had it happen and was able to bend the plunger back with it still on the car. The first time it happened it was pretzel salad and we had to replace it. The plungers sometimes hang out after a run and with a little twisting and hand smacking will return back down. Make sure if you have to twist it that the nut is tight enough to turn the plunger and not just the disc. The bags get torn up pretty easily and we've used 200mph tape on them for awhile until they were too tattered and were replaced. They are simple to pack and I've actually got them ready to go with no string. I highly advise getting used to chucking one or both of them out BEFORE the stripe.

Thanks for the advice, very helpful.

To finish off the engine bay got the valve covers the hydrographics treatment. Have had no time for the car recently but will get things wrapped up on the build this summer.

Nice! Keep going!

Just shorted out the key board drooling

Must be a street car,the radio is still there.Just need some lightweight speakers.

Always enjoy Deep long bills like this ,gives me a reason to keep returning to moparts.

Things are not always as they appear... did not take too long to glue together a nice face plate to give the appearance of a radio. If I had a heater control I would try to do the same as well. I like it better than a gaping hole in the dash. Will be removing the gauges from the dash as they are no longer needed as well.

Still street driving need valid stickers!

Its been two years since we started to shoe horn this hemi into the duster. Really happy to get to this point with the car. Next step is getting a tune on the car on the chassis dyno on Jan 22. I

Just curious whos chassis dyno will you be using. Have a few friends up there

AWESOME !!!

going to Lethbridge LA Dyno Matt Blasco ( Dirty Drag Week Dart guy)

That ride looks Sweeeet

Fantastic! Good luck and have fun!

I'd love to own it.
Doug

any decent sign shop could repro that sticker for ya.

Awesome!

Great looking car good luck

No video yet...curious how it went...
Hopefully great results!!

Nasty...Nasty, NASTY !!

DITTO!! I'm smellin 3's

BUMP

Trip to chassis dyno has been delayed I had to send racepak back for firmware update as it would not read new sensors (EGT's). Waiting for box to come back and will reschedule hopefully before end of Feb. Going to watch a friends Bonneville car on the dyno next friday so will post a video of how that goes.

Good luck hope everything goes well

Bad to the bone ride, I would be proud to own it. good luck on the dyno.

Have you had time to get to the dyno? We are all curious. Thanks

Still in the middle of a deep freeze up here ! -20 C is the high today ! Needs to get close to freezing to do the dyno session. Having been messing with the tune a little and have it starting and running better. Here is a link to a start and idle video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDdvGJOtLY&feature=youtu.be

Sounds great!

Thanks

Edge: Thanks for the video. Sounds awesome for sure. We are also in a deep freeze for being the first of March. Was -10F here in Wyoming this morning with a wind chill of -25F. TOO damn cold to give a darn about very much.

Keep us posted on the dyno numbers etc.

Very very nice car for sure. Thanks again.

Do you have anyone help you tune the car? I know of a pretty good tuner up in the frozen tundra..

Looks great I am sure you are itching to see what it will do

Yes, Matt Blasco is going to be tuning the car, he has the Dirty Twin Turbo Dart that has some done very well at Drag Week, he knows how to make some power and has some experience with BigStuff3. I am getting itchy to make some noise with this thing all it has been doing is burning a hole in my pocket for several years now.

Sounds like you have a good handle on the tune. Neil Richards(cream dream) was who I was referring to, but sounds like you have that handled for sure.

Thanks Al, this is all uncharted territory for me at this point.

That is a beautiful piece of work.

Thanks DTHemi, I decided to redo the front spoiler so the body lines match better and will lower front spoiler another 1 1/2 inches just not happy with the current front spoiler. The racepak is back working fine it just needed a firmware update ( racepak even covered the return shipping and this V300 is likely 12 years old. Ready for the dyno as soon as the weather improves.
