Hi everyone,
Sorry I have not given an update on the Charger lately, but not much of an update on it. We have a friends car project over our house, not to mention another one of our PITA car projects we are working on as well so it has been put on hold for a couple weeks. So far we painted the alternator bracket, grill and headlight covers, the A/C condenser, taken out the original A/C ranker valve to have it rebuilt, and putting the "new" transmission pan on have been done. The alternator bracket was painted Tuesday May 5th, 2020. Sorry I did not post this earlier.

Hi everyone,
I have a little update on the Charger build. We got some 8mm Accel Super Stock spiral wires (part number 5045K) from Fast Guppy Speed Shop for the car, we also got an Edlebrock Performer 383 intake from a fellow member on the FCBO Mopar forum, got the transmission pan on, and took out the original A/C ranker valve to have it rebuilt. I will start in order, we got the wires on May 14th, 2020 but did not put them in yet. The wires on the hood of the car under the cover in the last picture are spares or extras

After we got the wires, we then mocked up the intake we got from a member on ForCBodiesOnly (as I am also a member) on the engine on the same day of May 14th, 2020. Notice the intake valley tray and gaskets, they will be used once we officially bolt the intake to the car.

On May 23rd 2020, we got the "new" deeper transmission pan on the car to cool it down easier.

Also on May 23rd 2020 we got had the privilege to meet David (Chargercrazed) from here who lives in New York, we exchanged a couple parts that day. We got some side rocker moldings from him while he got our old spindles from our drum brakes when we converted them to discs.Thanks again Dave, it was great meeting you. Hope to keep in touch!

Got the original Ranco A/C ranker valve out on May 23rd 2020. It has a factory what looks to be gasket mess up, see the 3rd to last picture. This was taken by a friend of ours who is going to ship it to Pennsylvania to have it rebuilt.

"Newer" update- We got chrome Direct Connection valve covers for the Charger, we had them for awhile sitting in the packages collecting dust and waiting to go onto something so now is the time to use them.

After the left side mock up and test fit both valve covers are now on......The right side was put on the same day as the left one May 24th 2020, and now that both valve covers are on we put the manifold bolts on and tighten them up. This was done May 24th 2020 as well.
