My 70 SE 500 Charger Rebuild

[Duran75]

Engine mock up…

The engine looks great.
Be aware that it will not clear a stock hood. I don't recall if you have an aftermarket scoop or not but the RB block in a Charger with even an Edelbrock RPM intake and 4 barrel requires a deep drop base air cleaner.
Single plane intakes like your Torker 2 and the Victor do sit at least 3/4" taller.
I'm not trying to piss on your efforts, I just thought I'd let you know.

Thank you for your comments…. I’m covered!

Update: finish off trunk area. Installed rear window. Completed engine bay wiring for electric fans, Aces Kill Shot fuel injection computer and new Engine sensors for Fuel Pressure, Engine temperature and tachometer output.

Dam that looks great. Nice work.

Looking good. I have a 70' 500 S.E. also.

Finally was able to get the stripe installed on the car. It Took me two tries. 1 to 10 I think it’s about an 8.

Now it’s done…

Major work was completed in last 72 Hours. The engine and transmission are in…. Transmission rolled of the jack once today, but no damage. Everything fit, but very Tight clearances…. But I got it done!!

I installed my Sixpack scoop from underneath the hood rather than mounting it on top of the hood.

After 5 year 8 months the Charger fired right up with the aces fuel injection. More to come! Soon!

 

[Duran75]

Removing Aces EFI…. ECM just died No reason whatsoever. Aces wants it back to test. I’m going to re-sell the aces stuff and install new 850 Holley carburetor. Never had a Holley just die….

 

[Kern Dog]

Absolutely.
While I am not comfortable with new tech, I could be convinced to try it if it proves to be as reliable as old tech.

Installed the Delta PAG’s electric fan control today.

 

[Duran75]

Installing the ace‘s ignition system, and tach signal booster. Not much room to mount this stuff, had to make brackets. Ignition and relays for fan controllers under battery tray, fan controller panel and tach meter booster signal module mounted on driver side next to the battery. Hope to have the car running in two weeks.

The Aces ignition failed right out of the box.
