Thank you for the tip!! I’ll make sure I have a good ground. Yes I used the 69 wood grain…. I like the darker wood. The 70 was to yellow in color.
My 70 SE 500 Charger Rebuild
- Thread starter Duran75
- Start date
I purchased from Retro Sound…. I was able to use center dash speaker which had a left and right speaker setup. I think I got that from classic industries. It was a little tight, but I was able to make it work. No amp, said keep it simple. LOL…
You could get custom decals. I think MrMoparts makes them.
New 19 gal gas tank installed. Tank was painted black and the underside was treated with undercoating. Added a return (welded) gas line fitting to the top left side of the tank. Also add a grounding stud to the bottom right side corner
In tank fuel pump…. Purchased Holley’s B Body in tank fuel pump.
Also installed 59 psi fuel pump regulator and return

Wonder what the price difference is between yours and the
Holley Sniper Fuel pump
12-314 with build in regulator.
Summit Racing: Fuel pump $409.90 with shipping. Regulator $30.00 eBay.
12-314
Almost the same.

Interior is also being installed. Using most of the original Door panels. The black top panel we’re in the Car when I originally purchased it in 1986.

I'd be real interested in knowing how a 10 to 1 505 could be making 750 horsepower.
Maybe with more compression, different heads, a Dominator carb on a huge single plane intake and a monster cam.
The builder did say estimated…. I’m not building it for max HP. Just want a healthy piece. Once the car is completed I would like to have it dyno tested.
Probably meant to type 550 hp?
I’m sure the builder would discuss it with you. Just Google Mike Zimmerman race engines. He’s been building motors in the Phoenix area for decades.

We are not trying to insult you. It is just that the estimate seems far higher than what seems possible for the build.
I've known guys that have been doing it for years that are great people but not necessarily the most truthful.
750 HP from a stock block without a power adder..... blower/turbo/nitrous is pretty radical.

Tune it for peak power at 7500 and it probably would. When I say tune I mean heads, cam, rocker arms and valve springs.
Added a rear Hotchkis sway bar.
Mocking up
motor with all the accessories.

That color is beautiful. It looks great on your car. It is good to see you making progress.
Are you leaving the ride height that high? It looks quite a bit higher than stock.
I only mention it because you mentioned a rear sway bar. If your goal was improved handling, I'm curious as to why it sits so tall.

The rear suspension is all new, and I’m not sure how much the body will drop once the car is done and gas tank is full. I perfect some height to the rear. Not a fan of a saggy rear end.
