Well figured I would just bring the link to my restoration thread over here if that's ok? Will be posting more pics and hopefully a video soon of it running. Tim is trying to squeeze it in on the Dyno line-up as soon as possible.

:iagree: Beautiful Challenger Cordodge, hope you get this one on the road soon!
:iagree: :bravo:
I agree x3.
Coming from you guys it means alot. I appreciate your feedback and like I said before if you see me heading the wrong direction please point it out, sometimes a guy can get lost from time to time especially when it's been this long lol
Thanks again
Bruce.
Good move! Following. :popcorn:
I crosslinked my restothreads on CC and here also. I asked if it was OK, no one seems to disagree.

Yeah don't know any other way to do it. but at least we can start from this point here. This is a great forum for sure.
A lot of us have a long history with CC and it's completely fine to link back to old threads. :bigthumb: Thanks for sharing the link and wonderful job man. Really impressed. :yes:

Thanks Cody, means alot when guys that know their stuff like what your doing.
Bruce
Congrats getting closer ,I am glad you got the engine solved & are moving towards finishing the build , I love the color combo :ohyeah:
Thanks Chryco, I'll post some numbers once it gets off dyno. Tim changed from the hydraulic to a small solid cam, he said it would be easy on the valve train. He has a few race motors to do but he said he would squeeze mine in, He is a very busy guy but I think he felt bad for me and got it done. He is a super stand up kinda guy for sure.
Bruce
Tim is great & the cam swap will be a better choice , can't wait to see the #s :cool:
Glad to hear you are getting it sorted out!
Hopefully you will be able to make it to Moparfest this year!! :banana:

Motor back in and hooked up. waiting for a fuel regulator and some Joe Gibbs oil. 16 Grand later should be great now lol.
So glad to see this engine back in your car! :veryexcited:
The program seems to be working, but for some reason it doesn't work with those photos. But if I save them and re-save them through my photoshop then they upload fine. I'll get them fixed so they are not so big.

If you have a YouTube channel you can publish the video there and then just copy the url with the YouTube button here. Otherwise if you have the TapaTalk app, you can upload the video on a post there.

Sounds and looks great.
So will it be at Moparfest ? If you call them you could probably get it inside the building.

Hey Alan, yes it will be going to moparfest. Do you think it is worthy of an inside spot? Not sure as there is some very nice rides in there and not really sure how to go about it, I could call and they may need pics and stuff im sure. Thanks for thinking its worthy lol
Bruce
Awesome engine. What kinda of numbers did it make on the dyno? Horse power and torque?
Thanks Ken
Bruce, I've seen cars inside that I thought were less worthy than yours. Give it a shot.

Thanks for the kind words guys, coming from you guys makes a guy feel like great, Ill shoot them an e mail and name drop Alan, ill let you know how it goes. If not I will be outside somewhere close to you guys.
Bruce
Just a couple pics with the hood on. glad I have room with the breather set up.
Not sure what's going on there with the pics but you get the idea lol

Hey Ken, I have an alterkation front end in there lots of room for everything stock pulley set up as well.
Bruce
I build my own mounts to mount a Hemi on a wedge K. It is based on decades old NHOA "Mickey Mouse Mount". It mounts the engine perfectly so the fan is centered, Headers work and shaker fits perfectly. Also the single line Milodon pickup works no problem. Sorry I have them boxed up right now so no photographs.

Looks great, yeah I also have the single line with the milodon pan.
Also the motor is up and running but does seem to be running really rich, Tim had said he didn't have to touch the carb out of the box and it was bang on but he was running it with a7 AL box and I have a 6AL box, not sure if that would cause the rich condition or not. Timing is set at 32 all in but while the car is idling it will burn your eyes out and has a light smoking from the exhaust. Im not the best with carb so just looking for ideas, the jetting is 78 primary and 86 secondary its a 950 preform.
Thanks Bruce.
I know zip about hemi timing but isn't that a little low?
I usually run 34 so 32 should be in line. Do you know what your fuel pressure is? That's the first thing I would check.

hey @cordodge (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/cordodge_272) if you can not get it in the building, see if you can register for club parking under e-bodies.org.
We will have a tent set up in the club parking area. We will try to save you space when we get there!
Jason
Well guys I just got off the phone with moparfest people and the girl said she was sorry but the building was full first time ever, just my luck as usual lol. she put me down for next year for the building and also I asked if I could join my friends in the e bodies .org group and she said yes, so I'll call her back tomorrow to register with you guys so that's good news. Can't wait to meet you guys, I had met CudaJason and Alan briefly but that's it.
Bruce.
It's looking really good! :twothumbsup: Nice job man.
That's great Bruce. Can't wait to see your car.
Well just took the car on its very first road test, Went very well it stopped, went straight and ran great. One item is first gear is a little harder to get in but the rest is perfect maybe a little adjustment on the rod to get it in first easier( I would lengthen the rod I assume ?)Just eased it around our little town but my god it feels like the motor could destroy the car but very well behaved. Im pretty pumped right now.

We have a 572 built by Tim also, I believe the motor could destroy the car. :cheers:
Haha, you get what you pay for, He is a great guy to deal with for sure. Im glad your enjoying yours I will too little by little.
Well, all was good till yesterday ran great then parked it, and this morning started up ran great for 20 seconds and then started misfiring badly. so changed plugs and coil no diff, changed msd box no diff, only thing I can think of is the pick-up in the dissy. ? What do you guys think? this thing is killing me. :pullinghair:

Good grief! :sorry: Sounds like distributor, hopefully Neil will see this soon.
@Chryco Psycho (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/chryco-psycho_4)
sounds lie you have eiminated everything else , what dist are you using , have you checked the gap between the pick up & reluctor , it should be .008 , make sure it is tight , the pick up can fail a sit warms up too
Thanks guy's, yeah its a factory one that came with the motor. I'll try a new pick up and hopefully that will fix it. it is funny it runs great for 20 seconds then starts to misfire
Son of a.......
With the Mopar Performance distributors, I've seen the reluctor plate come loose, I've seen them move around.....I'm surprised Tim didn't suggest an upgrade.
Well yes ill be upgrading for sure but I changed the pick up and still the same. think ill switch the tires next lol, I have no idea whats going on. I ran separate new temp wires to the dizzy, and coil, no change im about to run a temp red wire to 12 volt ignition to see if that helps. after that im going to get hammered........
are the wires reversed to the pick up , if the plug was cut off & reconnected it can cause a problem .
It could be a fuel problem too

Thanks for the help Chryco, yeah I have changed every possible electrical point with zero change. I have 5.5 lbs to the carb not sure where to look for a fuel problem as it starts right up great and 15/20 seconds in it starts to run like crap and its a abrupt change?

Sorry yes the dist, plug has not been changed as it ran great last week. I did actually try and reverse them but it just popped back through the carb
I had an issue once where I extended the wires for the dist & reverse the polarity & it ran great most of the time but once in a while it would act up , reversed the wires & the problem vanished

well ill try that, I have nothing to lose lol. will that effect the timing?
Maybe look inside the carb and change the fuel filter too. It could have some dirt past the fuel pressure gauge.

Yes I will check but it runs great before it acts up not sure, chryco told me to change the wires on the dizzy but would I have to rest the timing?
nope timing should be the same if it was running well before
Well after pretty much going though everything electrical, my buddy suggested removing the carb and blow it all apart and clean and blow it out, I feel like an idiot runs great now, must of picked up some dirt but man it sure seemed like an electrical issue. thanks everyone for the help and ideas. I think I was so frustrated I was not thinking straight. hopefully it stays ok.
Bruce.
Good.
:banana: :twothumbsup: :stayinlane: :driving:
Here's to hoping the next issue is rear tire replacement! :)) :cheers:
( just discovered we have no burnout emoji )
Like this :burnout:
unny how fuel & ignition can fool you both can cause similar symptoms ... I think I mentioned fuel issue a few posts back too :alan2cents:
I was thinking fuel because he said it ran and then it would quit. I've had that before when dirt holds back until under pressure then it flows into an orifice/screen and plugs it. Ignition would have been something that got warm and quit (maybe coil or pickup). There's a reason I have no hair, I am surprised any car guy does have hair.
Congrats!
Enjoy the fruits of your labor as it turned out beautiful.
:banana:
Of course I was going to say fuel all along :P :rofl:
Thanks guy's, yeah a few mentioned it could be fuel but I would have bet the farm on electrical and was fixated on that I guess. That's why I love this site, great people with alot of experience at the tip of your fingers :worship:

Ha, ha: What little hair I have left is grey. Actually I think my love of old cars keeps me somewhat young and motivated though.
Well changed all the fluids in the car couple weeks ago and filled it up with some 100 octane low lead from the airport, Took it for a drive and it really likes that fuel the exhaust tips are grey and also has a great smell. Found out I have a small issue with the driver side signal light as it pops the fuse every time I use it, Never started to hunt down what it could be but hopefully its just minor.
:bigthumb: for the update.
Fingers crossed bulb issue is simple.

Be careful with LL100 airplane fuel. Your motor will love it however I found out after running it in numerous high horsepower (400 hp) snowmobile engines (Yamaha 4 stroke) it really gums up the valves/pistons - lots of carbon deposits (like hard grey shit) and effects the running of the motor over time. It's ok to use as a race fuel if you plan to tear down the engine and do an inspection at the end of each season however prolonged use on a street engine won't be good in the long run. I found that I would have to tear down sled engines after 3,500 or so kilometers of hard mountain riding to clean the top end.
Thanks for the info, I mix it with 91 high test just trying to give it a little boost.

Hi Bruce,
Just checking if ever posted the video by Tim? When your designed to run pump gas or higher octane? I see that you where mixing and just wanted to find out more? Also, did you have any issues with the motor mounts or adjustments you needed to make?
Thanks Ken
Hey Ken, Funny you should ask I was talking with Tim last week about the video and he said he was mailing out the disc this week. He is a busy guy but he said he would get it done. I will post when I get it.On the fuel I do normally run 91 Esso supreme and it works just fine but wanted to try and mix some 100 octane with that since it is easy to get ahold of and I didn't really notice a difference running wise but the tips are a nice grey color now. No issues at all with the motor mounts or the install but I am running an Alterkation front end, 2-1/4"TTI headers. Everything fit as it should, Tim did use an milodon external pickup low profile 8 quart pan that has lots of clearance.
You running a Hemi Ken? Also I'll check your restoration thread if you have one going, I like seeing other guys progress and ideas.
Bruce.
Just went through your 36 pages at cc.com, WOW. It was a long journey, but you made it. How many miles have you logged? Hows the road runner looking?
Thanks nsmall, yes long journey with some bumps along the way but yeah I am glad it is complete. I probably only have maybe 150 miles on it if that because I never got it road worthy till late Aug last year and then I had lots of fall turnarounds (work) the rest of the season, and again this spring, Should have a few more on it soon.
Unfortunately I sold the roadrunner when the engine issue came up, I had to stop the bleeding somewhat, Did not want to do it as it was pretty much ready for my paint guy but not much I could do. I am now looking at getting something else as the Challenger is done and my hands are idle and a little bored. I am really thinking about a 65 Satalite / Belvedere but if something else came up I would look at it for sure.
Thanks,
Bruce.

Hey, thanks Brad. Yeah would be good to have travelling partners, I looked at mapquest and probably easier for me to go down though Detroit but going east and going though Buffalo wouldn't be bad either I'm sure that's the way you guys go?
That would be Driving a Hemi Cuda :burnout:

Cool, Thanks Brad.

Hey Ken, yeah it runs great. No issues, zero leaks/drips of any kind, runs cool a little thirsty but that's expected. Tim installed a very small solid cam easy on the Valve train so it runs like a hot 340 really. Could have went a lot bigger cam wise but took Tims advice and glad I did still crazy power and torque will light up the tires in 3rd gear no problem lol. I'm sure you will love yours as well
Great, are you running an o2 sensor for tuning. What was torque and horsepower? I'm trying to get everything hooked up on mine.
No sensors, Tim tuned it on the dyno and it is running great. 700+ and similar TQ number. Glad I took his advice on the smaller cam it's very mild mannered but there still a beast in there, I'm sure you will love your as well. I put maybe 5/6 hundred miles on it so far and have changed to fluids in everything last spring so hopefully put some more miles on it this year.
Bruce.
Great to here. Mine was tuned on the dyno also. I'm excited this beast in the car also.
Ken
Did I miss something here Bruce? I thought the car was done when you had it at Moparfest in '17, no? :huh: Ian

Hi Tim,
What accelerator cable did you end up using on your car? Looking to get one but needs some details to get correct one.
Thanks Ken

Well mine is a single carb using the Barton intake, I had a few cables laying around and used what was best. Was also thinking of using a Lokar cable as well.
Bruce
Thanks. My 21.5 cable is too long. Looking for a shorter cable now.

I'm sure there would be list of cables with the lengths somewhere on here, maybe search it.
Found some info Tim from FHO sent me, Makes great power with a small solid cam I thought? I have a short video of it running on the dyno but have no idea how to get it to post lol
Bruce
That my friend is definitely a thing of beauty! :clapping: :twothumbsup: :banana: :wowzers:
:) :D :clapping: :veryexcited: :cooldance: :bravo: :woohoo:
Thanks guys, Glad I brought it to FHO for sure.
Great power with that tiny cam. I also had a small cam like that in my 472 and it was awesome on the street or the track.
That is a thing of beauty!!

For sure, Tim said it was a very small solid that would be very easy on the valve train. Very well mannered on the street but still sounds and runs great.
:twothumbsup: NICE!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting Bruce. Ken
Awesome flat power curve :cool:
Hey guy's, Sorry I haven't been around for quite awhile. Work has been absolutely crazy since last July with no plan on dying down. I see a lot of car shows have been canceled due to all the craziness going on. Challenger wise I had my bottom flat grill piece redone by a guy in Imlay city in Michigan and have to install it this weekend so I can get out to a few local cruises that guys have set up. Other than that I hope everyone is holding up ok till this all goes away.
Bruce.
