my gen 3 hemi build - 03/10/12 02:52 AM


I'm building a street hot rod (street/strip car)68 Dodge dart. I have all the suspension complete (coil overs all the way around, 4 link, rack and pinion steering, built 727 manual reverse valve body, 9.5" converter, custom stainless 2" stepped headers, 325/50/15 Mt drag radials, 2005 truck ECU, 15 gal fuel cell with eliminator fuel pump, wilwoods on all 4 corners)

AJ supplied complete 6.1 from top to bottom
Dave Webber supplied 6.1 ported heads, 625 PAC springs, retainers, push rods, cometic .051 gaskets, custom 22?/23? 6?? lift on a 114, forged drop in pistons with rings.
Edelbrock E-force supercharger running a 9-10 lbs

I have not been happier with AJ and Webber on this build.. Popeyes Hemi (Jeff) will help me do the pistons and cam next wk... I'm looking to have it tuned by mid April.. Not sure what it's gonna run nor do I really care.. I'm sure it will get in the low 10's possibly 9's if I can get the bugs worked out. Hoping to go hang out with u guys at some events and run the local test and tune.. and most importantly beat up on ujokin! lol

With 10lbs of boost I hope to be over the 600rwhp range.. thoughts?

Sounds nice forsure. I seen that edelbrock deal on HP TV I think. Your drag radials will be screaming from all the TQ that blower will make

Yup should be a fun dependable car. Similar combos running the same 10lb of boost run 10.3 in a 4300 charger...

I think these Gen 3 Hemi engines should make great hot rod builds. Keep us posted on how you got it all to work.
I put these builds in 2 catagories:
1) Using factory computer/car (2005 ish?)
2) Retro fit into other cars with aftermarket computer, ignition, wiring harness, etc.
