Must be almost ready to fire up... the fuel can is out! 
and the bottle, got it put in friday afternoon with two of my friends, with no scratches, or damage. then threw back a few (a few to many). felt like **** saturday, worked the weekend and today, back at it tomorrow and on and off for the next two weeks then its back to work, 3 more micky d's to do! no mopars were hurt, all tools were put away prior to the first beer.
soon i hope! can't rush it, what's a little more time started this sept. 14 2014.Must be almost ready to fire up... the fuel can is out!
Lookin sweet man!
thanks, this is a huge milestone for me, i also have re-done my fuel lines for the fuel injection. hood spacing is so close looking like the air cleaner will not make it without some creative engineering, but will document that stuff in the next several days.ordered some shims for the thrust angle, and will be checking drive shaft harmonics. not to mention the engine electronics, wiring, remote oil filter location, oil and transmission coolers, and radiator assembly. This will be the fun stuff!
Carlisle or bust!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you sine up for the tent?
Yup the fun stuff! These chargers have zero good clearance as I have found myself. I had to run a drop air cleaner base from Mancini. You bringing the car to Carlisle in July? If so it’d be awesome to park both 68’s next to eachother in the modified Charger class! I’m already registered!

Wow! engine looks great sitting in there.
thank you, took alot too get to this stage, as you know. the wiring will be the major hurdle coming up, with the fitech system and the new american auto wire harness, there are double feeds for items like fuel pump coil and tach wires, plus wiring on the fitech that won't be used, that if cut and removed will possibly void warranty. So for now I will tie this mess up until its running to make sure it works, then custom cut everything. I am also waiting from mancini for a custom linkage with left and right hand threads for adjustment on the car, they say it will be cheap, reason be that they will sell these to the guys coming up that will be purchasing these six packs, we will see.

All of those wires and "DO NOTS" scare me. As you know I am still bumbling through my wiring. Good luck!
one wire at a time, after i make sure it works.
My fuel injection for my Road Runner took a lot of time. But then again, I ripped it all apart and rewired the whole thing so it was (mostly) hidden from view and integrated into the stock wiring harness.
Take your time. Check, check and recheck. Don't rush connections; make each one deliberate and solid. You'll be fine!
For me, as much of a pain in the butt as my Fuel injection was to install, it has been flawless since then. I don't regret it for a minute.
Good Luck,
Hawk

one wire at a time, after i make sure it works. will keep most the leeds off the fitech letting it control everything it can. it says to set up system without using the timing feature first then connect it, which will cause a rewire ocurrance anyway, plus signal interference on crossing over certain wires will need to be isolated. other than that should'nt be too bad, just gotta make sure none of the black smoke gets released from them.
