Dodge engines in non-Dodge vehicles
I am a Dodge guy at heart and have owned numerous products from a Ram SRT-10 to a Neon SRT-4. My current project is a 1955 Buick with a 5.7 Hemi out of a 1500 truck. This video walks through the progress of the the Buick.
My other project that has a Dodge swap into it is a little less conventional and is a 1929 ****** Whippet with the drivetrain from a Neon SRT-4 mounted in the trunk. Here is the video for that project so far as well.
Joined here because I am very close to starting the Buick with the Hemi up and am anticipating needing to ask for some help to get everything functioning correctly!

Somehow in the past 50+ years the fuel filler assembly from the car vanished. I have tried searching for a stock replacement with no luck. I decided to make my own using a generic fuel filler assembly from Amazon, some mandrel bend 2" pipe, and a whole lot of cutting and welding. I am happy with the result other than I need to replace the silicone orange coupler from the tank to the first hard line since silicone isn't fuel rated. I have a rubber piece on the way and will install it before I fill it up for the first time.
Here is the video!

Nicely done...
I would have spent a lot of time in wrecking yards looking for the filler neck and pieces out of something which might fit. Also, I'm guessing there are tubes from the top of the tank to somewhere to allow it to breathe, otherwise you wouldn't be able to actually fill the tank.
On modern cars these are vented to the top of the filler neck tube, just below the cap seal.
