Everything is together and I fired it up this morning. Let it run til It hit operating temp, all is well except a light tapping sound from the top end. I couldn't quite nail the location down since I could barely hear over the basically open exhaust. I grabbed a Dakota Y pipe from Summit Racing...

I laugh at this comment the 10th time I read it as hard as I did the first. Laughing as I type this out!

I don't know where to start. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/dodge/charger/2441612.html

I hate vinyl tops.

No problem there Doc, I don’t have proper funds at the moment anyway, unless I have the right 6 digits for Tuesday night. Just tossing my name in the ring in case that eventually comes to pass. Nice having a solid, rust free truck but most of the non-metallic pieces end up baked. The upper...

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind dragging her back with me. Finished assembling my motor. Work on getting it back in place this week. Excuse the mess, too much stuff going on lately and not nearly enough time.

Yep, I need it all, might grab a second one too, just because. For something like that I'd take a drive, shipping and fuel costs might not be much different. Might grab a certain Valiant grille at the same time.

Here’s my fan setup, I’ll clean it up a bit before reinstalling, along with a couple pics of my huge tool box.

Ha! Yes, the color is dark gray in English. While truck my has one of the nicest 2nd Gen Ram dashes I’ve seen down here, the top and the frame both have cracks and it’s brittle. The LMC piece is nice, $259, but I need the frame too and they do not have that bit. I’m not looking to run tools...

Wow, been a while. I built the 6.7l stroker, 410 ci, .040 over 360 with a 4" stroke. I screwed something up somewhere, filled the oil pan with coolant and trashed the main bearings. Anyway motor is back on the stand and going back together, hopefully reunited with the truck by the end of the...

I just read through this thread again over the last few days. That truck has been through some serious updates over the years.

Wow...

Love this little car!

Very cool!

Damn, about a month after this he blew the turbo up, sending debris into the the motor doing more damage than he could afford, then selling it for parts.

Love it!!!

No and no. There is almost zero aftermarket support for the truck V10/488. Cam, headers and cold air intake are the most common things I found for it, there is also very little in the way of replacement parts for it as well. When I grenaded the V10 I stuck a 318 in, which I proceeded to fatally...

I just ordered my stroker bottom end kit. Forged pistons and all that. 408 is coming soon.

That happened about a month and a half ago. So, that's the end of the Cummins era, for now. I'll get another eventually, when the need arises. Anyhow, I sold it to my son for basically the cost of the maintenance I performed last year, injectors, fuel pump, clutch, etc. Fast forward to 2 weeks...

Quick thanks to Doc for the moniker... Anyway, bought it out of a junkyard just over 2 years ago. Brought it into the garage on the material cart it sat on most of that time and set it up on some stage supports and lumber I happened to have lying around. In all her glory-
