not a lot of new pictures to post... I've spent countless hours on the phone working on parts over the past month or so. Working on a customer's 69 camaro also...


Exciting news for the motor build. The twin turbo 6.1 HEMI will be in Cone Engineering's SEMA booth as part of their "Art of the Fabricator" display. They will also feature our shop and the Challenger project on their website www.coneeng.com.

Cone makes some kick ass collectors and exhaust components. Check em' out!

Ok, time for a long overdue update.

Where to start...

Turbo & Exhaust Goodies from Cone Engineering and Rockford Racecraft


www.coneeng.com


www.rockfordracecraft.com




Thanks again to Cone Engineering for supplying the 321 S/S U-Bends, Collector & muffler components, transitions, V-Band clamps, bellows and more... I highly recommend Cone for their quality products and great customer service.

Not pictured are the ball bearing PTE mock up turbos. Guy at Rockford Racecraft will work his ceramic magic on the turbo housings and Tial F46 wastegates. Guy is a great resource and really knows his stuff... His technical input with the project is also greatly appreciated.

Also included in the previous picture is one of the Accufab throttle bodies.

We are working with Automotive Design Engineering on a custom intake for the Challenger. Stay Tuned...


www.automotivedesigneng.com

We are using a custom width Woodward power rack and pinion and servo.



The stock harmonic balancer will be replaced by an ATI Super Damper. I will post pictures in a few days of the new damper. Another example of a vendor with great products, technical support, and customer service.

I need to get with you on QA1 and taking some pics.

Couple drawings of the 6.1 HEMI intake designed by Bob at Automotive Design Engineering. Not a lot of room in the engine bay on this car since the chassis is built with a low ride height. We gave Bob a pretty tight height window to work with. The Dual throttle bodies will tuck nicely benath the R/T hood Can't wait for the finished product...

The intake will be fabricated in house once we receive all of the machined goodies....

Intake flange


Dual Throttle body intake


Bob also designed some trick T4 turbo flanges to compliment the purge welded 321 stainless headers.




Another shameless plug - www.automotivedesigneng.com
