I am making a few interior modifications to make it a more comfortable long haul driver......Another use for the ashtray, and heat/Air conditioning control mods for classic auto air system that could pass for factory. I will repaint controls after testing.

got an engine from a 2016 challenger scat pack that had an unfortunate end. have to get a mid sump oil pan so I can do a test fit for adjustments on steering rack and exhaust. some say I may have to cut a notch in frame rail lip for alternator clearance. If anyone knows other checks I should make at this point, please let me know

Wow!  You're making great progress.  That Scat Pack motor is a monster.  My brother-in-law has a Scat Pack Challenger and I have to admit I was thoroughly impressed with the horsepower and torque it had.

What are your plans for re-labeling the heater controls ? I just had a customer supply a Classic Air system and when I was reading the instructions, I was surprised to see it still uses the old heater controls with just different cables... and now the positions of the switches all mean something different

I am going to level the raised letters and hand paint the new markings. [ wife is a graphic artist ]

That's a good idea, I should talk to my customer about doing something similar...I'm surprised the AC kit doesn't include some sort of labels or decal to cover the whole area

started to make some changes to make this happen......notch right frame rail for alternator , jeep srt left exhaust manifold to clear steering, and make a center/rear sump oil pan

I've spent this covid summer fabricating parts and pieces to make this 392 work. It is far from done but I did get a quick test drive around the area before the snow flurries came.

The electronics found a new home where the e-brake used to be.........the gear vendors unit fit with minor floor modifications. I am now making heat shields for the cats underneath,I'm using cats and o2 sensors from the donor car.

Solid progress there. Nice to see. Thanks for the update.

Great progress!

That engine compartment is CRAMMED!

Anyway to move that big thing on the firewall somewhere else?

It is tighter than I anticipated , but I wanted it to look more "factory" instead of showcar. changes can always be made in the future
