That still looks awesome! Mine was similar before a few miles of split wire loom. I took apart the entire Holley harness to add as much as I could within it then re-loomed.

So is that a TKO 5 speed you have on the bench? Just wondering if you might step up to the new TKX with improved innards.
Looks great and I'm very impressed at your attention to the small details up That dual disc clutch is really going to put a beating on that transmission.

Thank you! The trans is a TKO 600. In part some of the reasoning behind what I did (keeping displacement smaller and aiming for higher rpm) was to keep peak torque to a point that it wouldn't immediately destroy the trans.

If that plan fails I would move to a different trans altogether, I believe the TKX is still rated at 600ft/lbs.

The clutch should be the softest way of transmitting the power as it's a light pressure plate and organic discs. (IMO a heavy pressure plate and aggressive disk material could be more grabby and put more of a spike in tq to the driveline)

I have really enjoyed reading your progress. I got the same headers bare also. I had to cut and relocate the collector to clear the 4L80, The titanium coating looks good.. Yours is turning out really nice, very clean.

Very nice. I like the whole EFI conversion. EFI with dual 4500 throttle bodies will be my next upgrade someday.

Thanks guys! ^ Looks awesome smile I have nothing against carbs, just thought EFI would work better with E85 (or at least easier having a composition sensor vs having to test the fuel).

For exhaust, I bought a "stainless" system from ebay a while back. It's not stainless and not entirely sure it was made for this car. Had to cut up every part of it to make it fit. Used some 3.5in bends from the headers, reduced to dual 3in near the crossover. Pypes "race pro" mufflers (which despite their name I find to be quiet), and stock style tips from Accurate exhaust.

All coated in the same finish as the headers.

Also made some brackets to mount the Spal fans to the radiator.

Thanks! Ended up making 595 to the tires, pulled to 7600 limiter.

Your attention to detail is incredibly impressive. That is the nicest '69 Charger build I've ever seen!!!

when you say it pulled to 7600 limiter, that's what those need to see and hear in the Hemi vs 440 thread. The difference in the hemi upstairs is amazing. Also I could not help but notice the San Francisco dodge tag holder, If you turn over a Pioneer Dodge San Jose tag frame reasonable give me a shout. That is where my 66 coronet came from.

Very impressive build! Hope to see it at a local show or cruise your close to my area.

Are those Coyote coils (dumb coils)? So you had to use Holleys drivers correct?

Thanks, John.

Thanks John! I've been driving it so will probably see you around. And yes, I used the Holley coil drivers.
