    There's still a lot before that can happen. Since Chrysler was so kind to use the torque converter to mount the ring gear to, I won't be able to fire the engine until the trans is rebuilt. I decided to have my Dad do that for me. I wanted to do it myself but time is running out. Once I get the rear air bag mounts installed and the drive shaft made, the trans will come out and go to the shop.

    I also still need to place a large $$$ small quantity order with Hot Heads before I can do the stuff to the engine I want to. But hey, I guess it is getting closer.

    That is the story of a Hemi! I must say you get great parts that fit and USA made though there is nothing cheap, which you can't always say with other motors, I don't think it would be near as easy if we didn't have Hot Heads, thank goodness they are around
    Why is mine so big and yours so small, Chrysler FirePower
