Excellent, I was hoping you were doing your trans next!!.

Here are some pictures of the Mopar 45 degree adapter and how it fits with the RMS suspension. Bottom line is it fits and its tight.

There are a couple of pictures where you see the engine block mating flange where the adapter mounts to. Here you have another option where you can use just the adapter bolt and not the 45 degree adapter.

More pictures to come...

Boy - your motto HAS to be "Go 1st Class Or Stay Home!" I've been enjoying the progress of this build and your MOST EXCELLENT photo essay of same. I'm just up the road in sunny San Clemente; I'm "Cuda-less" now, but hope to remedy that before year-end. When I do, I'm-a ride down the road and buy you a pizza - then you can take me on a "white knuckle ride" in that thing, LOL!

Here is a fun side by side of the Hellcat engine and a ZL1 LT4 engine

Well our hood would shut with a lot more clearance on the LT1!

And... you would have to keep it closed.

Welded shut!

I posted these couple of pictures over on Facebook for fun. I have an LT4 laying around for another project and I couldn't resist rolling it under the car and taking a few pictures.

Here are some pictures of the oil filter using the single threaded adapter.

Part 1 of some trail fitting (they only let me post 10 pics at a time)

Part 2 of the engine test fit

71Cuda · June 20, 2018, 07:26:30 PM

Part 3 and final for this picture set.

I've test fitted the motor so far and like what I see. I had to remove the number 2 and 4 coil pack along with the alternator to get the engine to clear easily.

What a major accomplishment. Hopefully you can find some traction. Looks fast.

Looking good with the Hemi in there , Not so much with the Gm
