A little update:

-My bellhousing alignment dowels pulled out with the block plate. They say that they need 7 ft lb., but clearly I didn't get that much (they were tight...)

-Accessory drive is almost done, just need to add the balancer and PS pump. It was a heck of a time finding the right idler pulley bolt.

-I ground on the mount for the ps side engine mount. I also found my Moroso Solid Mount for the drivers side. No mods needed.



-I bought radiator hoses and they're going to work out pretty well.

Upper radiator hose for passenger side neck:
Dayco C72282 - ID of 1.44 and 1.72 (for a 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 hemi)

Lower radiator hose for drivers side neck:
Dayco E72281 - 1.44 & 1.66 ID (I measured this one in the store- the water pump side was ~1.5" I think, and the radiator side was smaller) - this is for a 5.7 dodge charger



Thanks to wade for his FABO post on radiator hoses.
