The Surrogate Mother!

Today I dropped off my other Hemi engine at the machine shop.

Pictures are still not loading correctly, I wish they could fix this! He had an 1100 horsepower all aluminum Hemi on the dyno.

It was very cool to see that engine all setup to run! I am looking forward to seeing my other Hemi come together as well. He was pleased with the condition of my block and crankshaft. When you buy a Hemi engine in pieces there is a fine line between usable parts and broken junk!
 
He said that he would get right on it. I said that one year from today,I am picking it up,finished or not. He built the 1100 horsepower one since I picked up my other Hemi a couple weeks ago.
 
It looks like the site has the sideways picture issue sorted out, so I reloaded the pictures in this thread and will post more pictures now that they will load correctly.
 
It's cold as hell out here,but I am going to try to get out there and do something to the car this weekend. I noticed that because the rear springs have been moved inboard to the rear frame rails that the exhaust tips have to be moved over about an inch on each side to clear the rear shackles. This is going to mean that the tips will no longer line up with the cutouts in the rear valence pan. I am going to have to cut it and modify it for the relocated tips.
 
Rear valence picture. It can be seen in the picture where the shackles are in relation to the cutouts in the rear valance pan. It will require some surgery to make it look correct.
