so at this point I decided I was going to jump into the gen 3 stuff and not build the 340 I had. did what I thought was a lot of research but learned you can read all you want but doing is a different story. so I started looking for auction donor cars and came across a srt8 charger.

make a dumb decision and take the chance and buy the car thinking the motor would be fine and hopes crushed. insurance job I should've sniffed out. you live and you learn

so i recoup all my money selling parts from the charger and make a little on top (still didn't make me feel any better lol) and start plotting my next move. also this is the first engine I tore down so that was good for the learning process. ok so in the mean time of figuring out whats next for me I start my search for an 8.8 rear at the junkyards. then pops says he wants a dana and would make me a deal on his 8 3/4 with the offset shackle set. DONE.
