[SinCity R/T]

I bolted up the intake manifold today to give the RTV a chance to set for a few days before firing up the engine... My upper radiator hose will be in on tuesday, and my MM&S bolts will hopefully be here in time to bolt everything back together next weekend.

I figured I'd take a couple of pictures before all the hoses & wires get in the way again... I will most likely wait until after Mopars at the Strip to re-route all the hoses & wires for a cleaner appearance.

What happened to moving out to Las Vegas? You could be getting your stuff coated & installed right about now...

Sparkly.


I don't think I could ever put a new part on and let the RTV settle.:jester: My manifold I fired it up 2 seconds after it was put together.:drive:


BTW - look up FireCore50s my friend makes them(I call him except his wife just gave birth to alittle girl), I'm sure the Mag/LA would be the same. Custom fit and no slop of other wires.

If I had all the parts to put it back together it would be running this afternoon. Technically I could reassemble everything, but I wanted to replace a few parts that I deemed "not the way I like" - IMHO it's worth waiting another week for some key replacement parts.

I'm waiting on an upper radiator hose (previous hose clamps made re-using hose undesirable), OEM hose clamps (ditching the Home Depot clamps), spark plug wires (Spiro-Pro's already on order - wires that came with the truck are mismatched and dirty), and MM&S bolts (all engine bay bolts are being replaced with new polished allen bolts).

Are you using a 90-degree water neck?



Is the upper hose out of the radiator on the drivers side? If so, I might need the same hose you're getting

I dunno... 320hp N/A maybe? Was waiting for the header/exhaust upgrade to finally take it to the dyno...

408 stroker - 9.8:1 compression
Mopar 2.02 R/T heads - KRC ported
.512/.512 210/220 @.050 110cl camshaft
Mopar 1.6 rockers
M1-4bbl intake manifold
F&B 55x52 throttle body
K&N 14x3" round filter
Zimmer PCM Flash
Spintech Headers
Spintech exhaust - no cats

The truck also has 4.56 gears, N2O (100 or 150 shot), and drag wheels/tires for the strip.

The hose does come out of the driver's side of the radiator, but I don't have a 90-degree water neck - this one sticks straight up and is about 1.5" long. I just stripped it back to bare metal (was rusted), gonna either paint it black, or will rush it over to vegas powdercoating to match the silver vein treatment.

It looks great Steve. I definitely like the color scheme.

 

[JethroStyles]

Looking GREAT Steve-O... Looking Great indeed!

WHat are the specs for the bolts for the 2bbl adapter?? I got the manifold from turboblew but I am missing those bolts

 

[DakotaLivLrg]

Steve like I always say in your thread .. I Hate you :jester: :joke:

Looking awesome Steve :mullet:

It's best if you measure your own lengths to be sure, but the bolt type is 5/16" with 18-pitch coarse thread. The bolts I ordered won't be the same as yours because I have a Zex 4-bbl injection plate sandwiched in there.

You should be able to run to Home Depot/Lowe's to get what you need, they aren't exotic sizes.

 

[Bad_banana]

Thank you very much! I am glad you didn't sell the dak, your video of open headers has motivated me to re-do the exhaust on mine!

Purple people eater comes to mind for some reason
