Started the Challenger 4 years ago, don’t know if I can keep this going.

Hey everyone, I have not been around much for awhile, but on the anniversary of me buying the Challenger, it seemed only fitting to be back on the forum. I have not touched the car in 6 months due to some family issues which have sucked my time, energy…

Drove a new Ram TRX today !!!

I had the treat of getting behind the wheel of one of these monsters today. I work at a Ford dealership, but our sister store is Jeep/Chrysler. One of the owners bought it as a personal truck. He said to take it for a spin to see what the competition was putting out. I’ll say for a big, heavy truck, it gets moving pretty quick. There really is not a sensation of speed, but watch the speedo, and it was climbing fast. I have driven the Raptor, and it is not as fast. That said, the Raptor…

New Interior ordered !!!

So… I finely ordered my seat covers from Legendary Interiors. The idea was to keep the original flavor of the car, but more comfortable. I am using the SE Salt and Pepper cloth in my 1972 seats as inserts, and a 1970 SE rear, with more parts in cloth…

Location for oil holes on rocker arms?

It looks like my PRW rocker arms did not come with the oil holes drilled. I have had them long enough that it is too late to send them back. So, it looks like I get to drill them. I’m not sure what size of hole to drill, nor exactly where to place the holes. I did not notice the lack of holes when I assembled everything, but figured out the lack of holes when I primed the engine, and noticed the absence of oil flowing down the rocker.

Location for oil holes on rocker arms?

Time to start over and punt on my block?

Due to a series of mistakes on my part, I punched into the water jacket while trying to put a Big-Sert repair into a head bolt hole. I don’t know if there is a repair that I trust, but maybe someone here knows of something. The sad thing is it is a fully machined Magnum block with my stroker kit in it. :BangHead: As I see it, if I start over with a core block, and have it matched to this one, and install my guts in, would be my safest/best option. Thoughts before I call the machinist tomorrow?
