I'll post some in a while. I'm on my phone right now. I only have a pic of the motor hanging from a cherry picker. As I wanted to see what it would look like in the car. Hopefully after christmas I'll have to motor dropped in and mounted.

I'm far from getting it on the road, but here's a pic of when I had it in the engine bay last spring and had it running. Not real pretty though.

Someday I'll get one going. It's a big enough challenge setting aside time to work on the car.8)

Is it much work to get the car intake to work with the truck timing cover?
The accessories look to be better positioned.

Gdemon, can you tell me where you got your Radiator and fan set up? How expensive was it?
I admire your Demon... Nice work.

Hey Myduster, the tb needs to come up off the timing cover, I have a 1/4 so the intake manifold spacers I had done at work are 1 1/2 tall. Then I just made some brackets for the alt and ac. Also 1 custom size pulley, but I'm sure you could find the right diameter at the parts store if you look. It worked out nicely, cant wait to drive the tires off it.
Hey Gdemon...I really don't understand all the who-ha over "tubular K's for a new Hemi install....yours is the bomb...the stance..."helloooooo??" weld it!!!!....you nailed it!!!! and all done with modified "stock stuff"...now thats what I call building a HotRod
