Lol. There is just so much work 😵‍💫. Believe me…. I spend a portion of every day asking myself why I ever thought this was a good idea. I made the decision to do everything as nice as I can, so when it is finished, it will be a quality piece. I’ve also been spending time at the rear redoing the fuel tank setup. Modified the facia and will be adding a custom aluminum cover that will dress this up and improve aero at the rear.

Just one picture but it’s a BIG one. The electrical panel is done. Harnesses are all connected and just some switches and lighting left to connect. Start up is getting close 🙂

Looks good! What’s with the green paper clip thing?

That’s used to hold the wires together while they’re being strung out one at a time. Once it’s all finished and tested then those are removed and it’s all permanently secured. There’s a yellow one in the upper right. Good eye 🧐

@Marc W what is going on at SRT Autoworks. Is everything Ok with Tommy or is the supply chain causing problems.

I saw this morning on Facebook

As of Monday 26th September we will no longer be offering any in-house services. This includes servicing and repairs, cam installs, dyno tuning etc.
We will be continuing supplying parts for the modern Hemi platform, as well as continuing to manufacture the parts we make for the Hemi platform inc the resto-mod stuff.
We would like to say a big thank you to all our customers over the time

😳 News to me. Sounds fishy. They were all over Instagram with the usual as of late yesterday. They have had strong continuing business so if this was true then something big went down and the Mopar world will be hearing about it soon. It’s 6:30 am here so it will take a few to find out. I’ll call Tommy. Probably some hater he’ll use for advertising.

That's Good news for Tommy, sad for the other shop

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

Yeah, he goes by AussieSRT something or other on the CherokeeSRT site. One of the few that did good work down there and was pushing 6.4s on boost further than most.

 

[Marc W]

Ok! Not to get back on subject or anything…. I know that everybody likes to hear about who’s drive shaft isn’t worth a shit compared to _______ 🤨. Just arrived today!! This will put my aluminum Raven Engineering DragPak shaft into the backup position. New PST 3.75” Carbon Fiber “Drag” Shaft. Rated to 3000hp. If it breaks…. They send me a new one 🙂

 

[Marc W]

Just about ready to fire. Wiring is 99% done. Shifter is working. Billet motor mounts are in. Belts and pulleys are set. Changed the front coil overs. Just need to install the dash and set up the digital displays.

What made you decide on the 3.0 upper? Don't want to risk spinning it to hard? I'm surprised you didnt go 2.85

I had the 2.75 in one hand and the 3.0 in the other 🙂. The blue car ran the 8.0 last year on a 3.0. We decided considering that so much is new, we would sneak up on this rather than go yahoo on the first outing. It’s possible we might be on the track this coming Friday night. Plans are to end up with the 2.75 and we are fabricating a idler pulley bracket that will move that up to increase the belt wrap for that.

Unfortunately we can’t directly post videos here, so you’ll have to take my word for it…. It’s running 🙂. What a ordeal! With all the Holley Harnesses plugged in, the big moment was at hand! 3, 2, 1….. Nope. No juice to the injectors 😒. After hours on the phone with a Holley tech (walking through changing pin assignments in the injector harness because they were wrong)….. Yes! A couple more hours on the laptop, massaging numbers and colors…… it starts and idles like there was nothing to it. Apparently the harness SNAFU is a known problem for the Mustang guys. They use the same harness and he spends all day trying to calm them down. He said we were the only Mopar he knows of doing this. He said those Dodge DragPak guys are in their own world and don’t share. 😂. Anyway.. the stress of figuring stuff out is just about done and the fun part of making it look like a Hellcat again starts. Test fitting the dash and mounting the digital screens starting now 🙂

Congrats!! What a super build!

I can’t remember do you have a goal in mind for speeds?

 

[Marc W]

The goal is 7.50 without spraying. I don’t think this motor will get there so 7.90 this winter. The new motor with the 3.8 Whipple will.
