I have a mighty max that was supposed to be a 300tq daily that has now become out of hand.It is a wide 2.4 with a truck tranny and a 20g that rides on aa ford 8.8 with 11.5" slicks.The truck will now go back to a 300tq daily.
This car will get that motor,3575, and truck tranny setup until the gears strip.Then i'll put a 904 in.

To my Knowledge, My 1981 Challenger is the only 4G63 swapped Chellenger in the country. I would love to see someone else do it. It wasnt easy but it was easier than I thought it would be. If you have any questions feel free to ask!!

With the size of that turbo, you may have to install bigger springs in the front right..
I'm taking the quest to the crusher next week.. I have two sets of seats.
One from a Technica and the other is from the quest.

You near Memphis?

Wow, so I was doing my usual Monday routine, checking out build thread progress from the weekend, and thought to myself "man! everybody updated their threads this week!"

Then I realized that NOWHEREMAN is a fucking post-whore and posted the same "did you make any progress?" message in everyone's threads.

Thanks for ruining my Monday NOWHEREMAN. Please go hang yourself.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
