I'm using a Southern Rods Maxi Kooler II. I just bought the heat and air unit from them. I'm using the drivers side Hemi compressor and a Bouchlon install kit for all the lines, dryer, condenser and fittings. Car blows 30 degree air and will absolutely freeze you out! I'm very impressed!!

I made a sheet metal dust cover with two louvers in it for heat for the original bell. I bought a scatter shield later and it is completely enclosed so no shield necessary.

Ross, I'm very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He sounded like a great guy. Cuda pics look great. One thing about this build as opposed to the Duster.... You KNOW how it's going to go back together. You dont have all of those head scratching decisions to make which MAY reduce the amount...

Can't believe it's been that long. You and that car deserve all the recognition that it gets!! Congrats. How is the Cuda coming along?

I dont always agree with their style but they build what the customer wants. They do have skills and tbier interior guys are over the top.

Did anyone else see the Hemi Denny K member in the 65 Belvedere on Texas Metal tonight? Sorry if this was already posted but I think everyone else is figuring out what the A body guys already know!

I dont think the 6.4 will let you drop the body down over it without firewall work. The 6.1 has more clearance in the back. It's a little tricky with the alternator by the frame rail but you can just lower the car over the engine once you clearance your firewall. You might take your intake off...

Hey..... I've got one of those "drinking" pickup tubes as well. I ordered the early pickup on my first go around and I still have it. I thought about putting an early 5.7 in my 70 Charger just so i could use that pickup tube. LOL

To be honest with you..... I just noticed that a lot of other people were using the Driveshaft shop on thier swaps so I just went with it. I knew that it would be a strong lightweight shaft and it was easy. HOWEVER.... it wasn't cheap! The local driveshaft shop can make you a shaft using a 4wd...

I used a Driveshaft shop conversation. It has a round aluminum adapter. The adapter is about as big as the steel yoke on the transmission. BTW, if you use this setup, make sure that you line up the blue lines when you put it together and you won't have to to it twice. lol Here are a couple of...

Will you have room in your tunnel for the driveshaft adapter? It' hard to tell from pics but you may have to expand you driveshaft tunnel upward. Just something to consider. EDIT: I just looked at mine and yours looks about the same hight. I guess I did expand my tunnel a little... I just forgot...

Looks great. I should've took more pics when I was building my trans mount but so far it looks like the same process. I've got a few miles on mine and a few hard launches. So far everything is still in one piece.

Glad to hear that you got that all worked out. Car sounds great,

Yep. Same story, different chapter. Looks good! I wish I would've changed up my wiper motor as well. It would be nice to have intermediate wipers. Oh well.

I guess I didn't really take too many pics of the fab work. I just cut out the heater blower motor area, the bulkhead area and the wiring channel on the fenderwell and filled them in with flat steel. It sucks cutting up a finished car but I love it now! First pic is obviously a before pic. LOL

Get you some strong poster board type cardboard and duct tape. You can basically make the fenders that way to be sure that's the look you want. It will be a hell of a lot cheaper to waste some paper and know for sure before you start buying building materials. Good ol "envisioning" tools in the...

I'm thinking that with the square body lines that you would want to go more "wide body" than flares. You know, widen the hips and fenders. Think IMSA style maybe. Just a thought.

Dammit.... how am I supposed to be the big tough guy with tears rolling out of my eyes? You are the man and I know your mother is very proud of the son she raised! There may be a little jealousy among her freinds and some pissed off sons but it is worth it to see that look on her face!

Looks like I keep messing up and you get to keep correcting me. I could've swore I read that it was a new trans. Once again.... I guess I should pay more attention or just quit replying to stuff that I obviously know nothing about.

Awesome. Glad you figured that one out. You expect new stuff to work like NEW STUFF! Not always the case.

It is universal but it is a very easy box to fit in. You won' need the hole in the firewall for your blower motor anymore as it is contained in the box. All you need is a spot for your heater and A/C hoses to enter once you figure out where you want the box. I ran mine up in the wheel well to...

Mine dosent go into gear very easy when it is sitting still but it does shift easier when it is rolling. If it's not going into gear at all..... who knows. I'm sure you already pulled the shifter to see if everything looked good. I do know that my retrofit TR6060 shifter had to be shimed...

OK.... I hate to admit this and it is going to be a long read but here it goes.... I drove my car out of my shop back in December to go to the upholstery shop. I came off of my four post rack and out the door which is slightly down hill so that didn't put very much strain on my clutch. This was...

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or not but I'm using a manual rack and the Challenger compressor with a after market Southern Air heat/air box.

My trans crossmember is very simular to yours but my side crossmember bolts have urethane bushings much like the motor mounts. Just food for thought.

Those green bottles make it easier to cope with engineering complexities though!!

No disrespect intended. I just always assumed that the Challenger chassis would be too wide for an A-body. I really figured that the wheels would be hanging out by 6 inches on either side. This thing is looking GOOD and I can't wait to see more!

I can't believe that this thing dosent look like some kids four wheel drive! I'm looking forward to more!!

Another hurdle down. Looking good!

Nice work.
