Charger
A lot has happened in the 10 years since I added to this thread. The project's not done but it's not dead either. I'd stopped posting after FABO updated it's software and a lot of my photos and posts disappeared. I had been using FABO to document progress and decided to use my FB account to store pictures online instead. After taking such a long hiatus I've decided to do a bit of updating here for anybody who might have been following the mayhem. (I did my best to re-do most of this original thread so that it should now be close to it's original form now)
Despite a couple more heart attacks and a gruesome hand accident I did gain ground on stuff. The local Democrat city council forced me to move most of my cars out of town by passing an ordinance declaring any vehicle un-driven for a period of one week or longer was to be considered an abandoned nuisance subject to fines and eligible for seizure without notice. Needless to say it had a major impact on my ability to work on the cars.
The 512 stroker that was going to be built for the Charger has been shelved and an all aluminum Keith Black Hemi built by Ray Barton is taking it's place. The A833 4-speed is also shelved and a custom built Tremec 6-speed is going to be used. The 6/71 supercharger that we'd rebuilt has been replaced with a new 8/71. According to dyno results we should be able to pull as much as 1600 HP if we overdrive the blower and run race fuel.
I do have quite a few previously un-posted photos that I'll try to upload.
The Tremec:
