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.

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. 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?
