1972 'Cuda (FY1) - 5.7L Hemi, T56 Magnum

Got a question for GoodysGotaCuda. Would the stock brake system work with the gen 3 hemi or do I need to upgrade the braking system?

I don't see any reason why a stock braking setup would not work.

Really looks fantastic Goody! I'm thinking calendar submission!

Thanks! I'll take some real pictures of it before we get to that point, I can take some decent pics 

Next up is to get the rolling glass in it, for some reason I have dreaded that far too much

Air intake is buttoned up. It's not my favorite, but it works.

Seems a little long.  Is that the only option for an air intake?

It's what I prefer without a box. I am not a big fan of just sticking a filter at the throttle body and having it float in space.

If the battery is staying in the trunk then you could have a bend and have the air cleaner point forward over where the battery tray was.

Imhop I  prefer them to be at least where this is located. Having the filter mounted right up front may provide minimal flow improvement. However you are now pulling in all the direct heated air blowing over from radiator.

It works and it's complete. I have bigger fish to fry at the moment! [emoji106][emoji51]

Eventually I may do an air box, but that's an adder. Plans are to supercharge it within the next three years or so anyway.

Exactly, get it going, have fun, some parts get left at the prototyping phase till you are sure of the final design....

Pro tip: MDS lifters shouldn't be used with MDS block plugs. Learning this one the hard way, but at least it's a cheap fix.

I should be running again by Sunday, but on all 8 this time. [emoji55]

   What is going on?  The whole time you were only on 4 cylinders?

That's correct.
