    71 Superbee Build

    Been a while since I’ve sent updates on the Charger! Still wrenching away steady. In the last week and a half, the Milodon Pan and Windage tray and high capacity pickup went in the car. The Autometer Dash has been installed, hidden Bluetooth radio, and a ton of engine wiring cleanup. I also...

    71 Superbee Build

    Okay time for some updates. I decided to go all out this year on the charger. I got a big bonus and tons of time on my hands because of this whole Corona crisis, so here’s a ton of updates. Entire front suspension including K member has been replaced. I went full QA1 tubular stage 3 kit...

    71 Superbee Build

    A stock motor calls for 36-38, not sure how a built engine could be too much. I get no pinging and the car runs awesome.

    71 Superbee Build

    I understand the construction just fine. I had no issues removing the pin, it’s the bushing that cannot be removed. Even the factory service manual calls for using a hammer and chisel and basically destroying the old bushing. The fix for as long as I can remember on all the B and E bodies has...

    71 Superbee Build

    I’ve also been working out some timing and lean mixture bugs I’ve been experiencing. I have a nasty header leak, which I think is due to old warped headers not sealing, so I’ll be ordering some Dougs or TTIs very soon, and I’ve got a hole in the exhaust tubing you can stick your fist in near...

    71 Superbee Build

    Just for fun. Also on the soon to be ordered list, the car has a 8 1/4 rear end with 2.71 gears. It has a ton of power with those tall gears, so I can’t wait to see how it drives once it has a 8 3/4 with 3.55s under it. Looking for recommendations on a good company for the complete rear end...

    71 Superbee Build

    At some point last year, I ordered a full front disc brake kit from Classic Performance and some Mopar Valve covers. I finally got around to installing them and the covers look great. Converting the car from manual To power brakes wasn’t hard, but the connecting rod that goes from the brake...

    71 Superbee Build

    Okay, so the car I running awesome as of two weeks ago. Threw the first nasty peg leg burnout in it, it starts first turn every time, what can go wrong? well, I’m at a cruise night with a buddy, and he looks in his passenger rear view and notices that my front passenger wheel is wobbling. Now...

    71 Superbee Build

    This picture was taken during the maiden voyage for the Superbee. My daughter wanted to go to the drive in and take it. Car ran great on the way there, but at the time I had convinced myself that I had a slow battery draw even though I could find no evidence of that through electrical testing...

    71 Superbee Build

    At some point, my grandpa put in a mildly modified 400 in the car. It’s a 73 block, and it’s actually a very strong motor. This however caused a lot of issues along the way sourcing the correct parts. Every time I went to parts stores or called vendors I had to explain the swap, and then just...

    71 Superbee Build

    Okay, so when I first got the car, it was in horrible shape. Leaked like crazy, had many many electrical ghosts, bad ignition, Romex under the dash, mice in the trunk, but the car still cleans up good, is virtually rust free except for a spot under the hood where brake fluid splashed on paint...

    71 Superbee Build

    Okay, I guess it’s finally time to start recording the build progress of my 71 Superbee. For those that don’t know, this car has been in my family since the late 80s, it was my grandfathers daily up until about 2013-2014 and sat for a very long time when his age no longer allowed him to drive...

    Need help with AMMETER bypass

    Hey all, still plugging away on my grandfathers mopars that I picked up last year. The 71 Superbee is officially a driver, I’ve poured a lot of money and sweat equity into her, and it’s finally paying off. One of the biggest mods I’ve made for reliability is converting the car to a MSD ready...
