Wouldnt a 4.15 crank in a 440 be closer to 500 inches like 493 or so.

Yeah something like 480. But im starting with a stock bore 426 inch block which is a 4.25 inch bore. With the 4.15 crank makes 471 inches if you do the math and round up i think. I say 472 cause thats what the MP crate motor is advertised as with that stroke crank.
 
Magnum force suspension. I currently getting around putting my Alter K in from RMS. really easy install. Should be the same with the Magnum Force

Hardest part was removing the bump stop on the frame everything else we had the old suspension out in 30 minutes
I spent most of the day cleaning up the wheel well area and coating it with POR 15.
Look forward to seeing the progress on your car.
 
Its been forever, but we actually have progress happening on my charger. Now that its started this part should roll pretty quick. We are working on getting the back half in. To help fund this project i will sort through all the good metal that is cut out and will be offering it for sale at some point. Here are a few shots from today. More to come soon
