I am still tuning, and working out little bugs, but isn't that what old cars are all about?

I thought I was all high tech think of getting a pulled 360 magnum with all accesories to bolt to my 904 in the 74 RR. And was considering saving for a big buck 5.7 Hemi from a salvage to my 904, or going whole hog with a pulled 5.7 an OD tranny. Then wham, you hit it out of the park with the full 6.1 and tranny transplant.

My absolute favorite body style of all Mopars( I've got 3 myself!)If mine turned out 1/2 as nice, I'd be ecstatic.It's too bad if you are forced to sell, but after all it's only a car, and once you get past the rough spot, there will be others waiting for you. Good luck, and I wish I could buy it!

You mentioned Hotwire doing the computer then a previous post with a Mike doing some tuning and now "the last round". Can you expand as to why? Thanks -C If I could sell a few of my other toys I would pick this one up in a minute - great job.

This will raise rev limit, and fine tune A/F at all RPMs. Might even setup a street tune and a track tune.... possibilities are endless with this setup.

How well did it run on the initial tune from Hotwire? What have been the benefits of the additional tunes (MPG? obviously you mentioned the rev limiter, power increase?) thanks as I am doing the 6.1 with Hotwire and factory PCM using Intune. -C
