Okay, sorry for the confusion, No that is not my engine. I am not that big on blown engines, my 440 is a 11.1:1 compression engine, not that friendly for blown applications.

Not to mention that my cam is not the best for a blown applications, but very nice for NA apps.

Yes Sir, we are G3 Dakota guys with tools and motivation! There isn't anything that is impossible for us!

Bruno, either your high compression blue print or a twin screw setup...a 440 Hemi is super impressive. In a G3 Dakota, that ups the sick factor by 10x!

Yeah, I can imagine the shock value, when people see it, especially if they havent heard it run.

I wanted to keep the hood stock, or get an RT hood. Imagine at my college car show.

First guy "Wow a solid axle 2005 Dak NICE!"

Second Guy "Sweet"

Me "It gets better check out under the hood"

First and Second guys together "NO WAY A 6.1L HEMI"

Me "Guess again"

First Guy "A 426?"

Me "UP!"

Second Guy "440?"

Me "Yes sir!"

First and Second guys together "SAAWEETTTT!"

Once I get the Megasquirt and this Hemi ignition figured out, and my heads back. Get it all put together. Ill take a recording of mine and post it for ya. That's the nice thing about Megasquirt, fast, ect you can break efi engines in on the stand...

From one fellow drag racer to another, I can't tell you how much I wouldn't mind taking the blown 440 and stuffing it in my wife's 09 Charger...lol. "peace out 3.5L, welcome boosted 440 to an AWD platform".

So, to get back to the original topic (somewhat)...have we heard anything about the lift since the end of Feb? I'm trying to peice together bits of posts to get the overall picture.
Correct me if I'm wrong: Here are the facts that I am seeing.

DesertRat has the lift

He has installed the rear blocks, which are 4"

His grandfather is in the hospital, so he's not working on the truck (understandable)

DesertRat HAS the lift

My B-day was on Wednesday, and no one bothered to tell me "Happy Birthday"

DesertRat HAS THE WHOLE LIFT

Have I got all my facts straight?

Didn't realize your birthday was Wednesday. Happy Birthday buddy. Belated that is.
