I'm also in the dark as I have not seen it either. By the way, the last recent survey article was in Mopar muscle magazine, unless you are stoking up that infamous "The Art of street racing" article back in the 90's also by Cliffy.
This Mopar action should bring the humor and the seriousness of this car under one umbrella.
Thank you by the way. I'm having a hard time putting in some seat time. NY shuffle and hustle keeps my finishing and tires flat footed.

How much for an autographed copy? As much as it will cost to ship it to me and back.
Thanks a whole lot guys.
It's worth all the hard work to retrieve info and pictures from the past along side a busy schedule at hand. Funny, I've still haven't seen it. Waiting for the stands to carry them. I'm patient. Enjoy the read, it's getting nippy.

Yes, It's a GM 140 amper and IIRC, it weighed like 11 Lbs or so where as the original 35 amp Chrysler unit was around 14 Lbs. I installed that one wire alternator after what it seemed was a low rating on the out put of the original. I have an electric fan with relays, electric Aeromotive in tank fuel pump, lights, and was spooked that the 55 Denso units would not pull their lightweight stuff. Perhaps I am paranoid. I have not seen or read the article yet, but I've got Ti bolts holding most things together on the front of the engine including the alternator, water pump, oil pump, timing chain cover, fuel pump cover, valve covers, intake manifold, carb, (Yes it's aluminum) headers, brake reservoir, you name it. Engine plate is also holding on with Ti bolts on all points. All T6AL4V fasteners.
Yes, the Molnar crank and rods are the new thing. (My friends Hemi is now running them) In all the haste to get the motor done years back, I forgot to shave off the factory unused motor mount ears on the block. That thick iron stuff there probably adds up to 2 lbs or more.
