I lied. It came out tonight. This really wasn’t the plan, but while I when I was finishing up disconnecting the trans wires and driveshaft, I was like, 4 bolts and that trans is on the floor. Well, one thing led to another..

I drained the oil. No big chunks came out, so that's good...lol It honestly still ran good and revved like normal. The squeak clack sound is what got my attention.

I caught it somewhat early. I haven't spun it over to look at the other side of the cam, but the part I can see is fine. Probably just needs to be polished. Likely just needs a teardown and clean with a new set of lifters.

I don't have a prop valve since I run 4 wheel discs. But the lines do pass near the location of the stock valve. The car already had port EFI with a MS3X controller. It has an in tank pump in the Tanks Inc tank. I autocross regularly with varying levels of fuel and never once had a fuel...

Yep. Finally going to be one of the cool kids. I'm hoping to have the 408 out by tomorrow night. After that I just need to trim the frame rail pinch weld, swap the trans over, and it's going in!

Torque converter bushing removal tool 9000... Good for one use only...

Forgot to mention what I did there. The factory rods connect to a "mushroom" head type stud. They easily knocked out of the z-bar. I think they were just pressed in and not even welded. (aftermarket z-bar). The pedal was another story. If I remember correctly, I had to cut the head off and drill...

Check out post 197 of my build thread here --> 12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build To accommodate the offset for of the top rod where it connects to the z-bar, I just made a spacer to put between the heim and the z-bar. This setup has proven to work great and the adjustability is endless. The long...

Nope, not for me. I made all new linkage with heim joints. It’s smooth as butter.

Forgot to mention I have an HDK suspension, so this thing will just fall into place, or at least I hope so.

I'm using the cast lakewood housing. You can see there was a small interference with the TTI header, but that was easily fixed with a grinder. Note the clearance on the starter from an early 2500 with a manual trans. This thing is smaller than the mini starter on my 408! It will fall on the...

I also made aluminum fuel rails from some blank fuel rail extrusion.

For those not following along on my build thread, I'll highlight some of the G3 Hemi swap specifics here. Here's a quick background. 70 Duster I've owned since 1997. I use it as a cruiser, and autocross. It's got a 408 LA in it with solid roller cam, indbrock heads and port EFI made by yours...

Yes, No Problem Raceway. You are lucky there are so many events nearby. I was looking at the results from yesterday since I couldn't go, there were only 36 cars. The weather was nice, not sure why the turnout was so low.

It certainly is close. Pulling the 408 is my next large thing to do. Ringing wires out and modifying the z-bar will be weeknight projects this week. That street T is aluminum and the sensor doesn't weigh anything. It will be fine.

My local SCCA just released their May date and location. They are trying a new spot which happens to be the drag strip I used to frequent. There's also a small road course at that track and they are having the autocross on portions of the road course. I have to click this job into overdrive so I...

Hemi update! I was able to make some decent progress over the weekend. I got the let side fuel rail bracket made up so I'm calling that small project done except for the Cerakote. Note the hidden fuel rail pressure sensor. Also pinned out the engine harness connector. I still need to go...

Anything is a shim if you try hard enough.

I think the reason most aftermarket cam require the VVT to be locked is because you can easily cause some PtV problems if you aren't dead nuts on the tune.

My daily readers are only .75x. After this, I was thinking I need a 1.5 or 2x to see tiny stuff!!!!

I'd image the RPM would change on the SRV based on the camshaft. But you're right, I really don't have a desire to have that functionality on this car. If I was building a cruiser with a basically stock motor, most definitely. The voice in my head is already thinking of an upgrade to this motor...

4 empty spots. Not sure how many the SRV requires and honestly don't know if the MS3X can run it. I don't know what type of signal it requires and quite honestly sounds like it would be a nightmare to tune without a dyno.

Full speed ahead on the hemi. I truly believe the car hobby is worse than a damn ****** addiction. I can't stop thinking about what needs to be done and want to be out in the garage all day instead of working... Got one fuel rail hold down bracket done. It's just a piece of aluminum angle...

I don't recall if Denny's concern was the height, or the sump location. Picture above looks very close to the steering rack. However, eelier in his thread he mentioned the engine was as far forward as he can go (Denny's mounts are adjustable). I plant to put mine as far back as possible.

I see you have the Holley pan. @HemiDenny has been anxiously waiting to find out if it clears his K-member. Did you have to modify anything to make it work? Before I installed my K, I kind of mocked it up on the engine while it was on the stand and it looked like it would be fine.

Will you please take this thing down the drag strip when you're done? No reason it can't run 8s with that motor!

It was a bad day in the garage. Started the car up to back it out for a wash in prep for a cruise night 30 miles away tonight and notice a very weird sound coming from the engine. It was definetly a top end sound and oil psi was good. Pulled rocker shafts and searched the valley with a bore...

Love it. Lots of options for big brakes with that spindle, not that you would want those. But I'm sure there are also lots of race car brakes too. They are TMI Seats They come complete ready to go. I have the pro series low back. https://www.tmiproducts.com/pro-series/complete-seats/lowback/sport

I'm excited for you. Lots of work to get to this point. I'm anxious to drive mine and my swap isn't starting for another month. Still can't believe I'm swapping a perfectly great running car... Oh well, that's what hot rodding is all about.

What is this sorcery Denny? Van LCA and a SN95 Mustang spindle?
