So I'm guessing the lift kit was a no go?
Is there any company willing to produce a lift kit for my baby yet?

the question these companies are going to ask you....are you willing to fork out the cash for a true one off kit...before its even made?

So a 440 Gen III Hemi

I am kinda hoping to sell it if they made the 392 block crank and rod journals bigger than the 6.1 block.

If so, then it will be based on a 6.4l block.

Come to find out, They offer two different sets of pistons for the 440's, and when I contacted them about this, and the fact that they did not tell me this when I originally ordered the roatating assembly, AND ASKED they are going to send me another kit, so that it will be an 11.1:1 compression, plus they are paying the shipping back to them on the 9.3:1 kit.

BA

Man I like these guys, they are willing to work with anyone, and any thing kudos to them.
Where did you buy the motor from

Bought one out of a wrecked charger SRT-8, crash liked to rip the whole back of the car off, but the trans and engine were fine, just no back seats, and trunk area to speak off. Engine had if I remember correct, about 36k on it.

I sold the one that I built on ebay a few weeks ago. It has a good home in a jk (think that is right, what ever the smaller jeep suv is that came in srt-8 flavour) still waiting to find out if the 392 engines have larger main journal, cause this possibly having to pull a trailer every once in a while, journal overlap would be nice if it was more than .04".

He dynoed that 440 after he got about 350 miles on it, and put out close to 570hp and nearly 625ftlb at the rear wheels so yeah, I am pretty stoked about this going into a dak. If you havent followed the engine build progress, that was NA, with 11:1 compression! SOUNDED WICKED!

I really think that if I could get him to meet me in st louis at the college, I could tune it up to around 580, and 640, but that might be pushing it, It was all tuned off of sound, and spark plug color, and 02 readings.

Check out this custom raider, its got a sweet suspension.

The front suspension's travel is maximized and dampened with the help of King Customs 2.5-inch coilover racing shocks and triple bypass racing shocks to help control wheel travel over the harshest terrain. At the rear of the Baja Raider, the truck's solid rear axle is supported by King custom 3" triple-valved race shocks, Deaver racing leaf springs and Mastercraft limit straps.

well they did the shocks right lol. and the leafs.

they still didnt solve ANY of the angle binding in the front. and they tried to stuff a coil AND a bypass in the front with a stock control arm? talk about rubbing the arm on the shocks almost all the time.

props though. they dove into it.
