1971 Dodge Demon 1000Hp Single Turbo Build

[TDEMON 2]

Well i figured its time to start a build thread on what i got going on with the motor I'm building and the car it will be going in. Before i jump into that ill give y'all some back ground info about how i got to where i am today. I bought the car freshman year of high school and drove it for awhile till i spun a couple main bearing coming home from work one night (the motor was a 318). So the car sat at my buddies body shop till about a year and half ago when i started working on it here and there till i moved to Houston for school (The School of Automotive Machinist). The school basically teaches you how to do all the necessary machining to build badass high performance engines. So after i got the block class portion out of the way we have a couple months of shop time to use the machines and build your motor. since I'm a mopar guy i decided to build a 5.7 that i had laying around so that brings us to today.

I started ordering some parts like my drag pak intake,moroso oil pan, aeromotive fuel rails, arrington billet main caps, head/main studs,mds delete plugs and callies crank and rods for now. The main caps should be in tomorrow so i can line hone the block and start checking for bearing clearance and what not. as parts continue to come in ill keep y'all up to date on the progress of the build and my goal for a 1000 hp.

Bud that's awesome!. I did mmi after high school and all though it didn't wind up being my life long occupation it was an education that I've used my entire life. Best of luck on your build, choosing mopar I sure hope you got deep pockets

Awesome......Sam is cool. Judd is a good guy and you'll love the class. Awesome build you have going there! Should make for lots of fun....and yes, cam is right...hope your pockets are deep!

Thanks guys!! Yes judd is an awesome guy he's got so much knowledge about this stuff its crazy. I've saved up for a long while to get this build up and going but I'm just hoping i can get the engine built while I'm here while i have the time and resources. I'm trying to get some side jobs going to help fund the build but no luck yet.

so some updates on the motor, got my main/cam bearing in along with some other stuff and got and email from callies saying my crank and rods should be shipped out this week sometime. Also called up arrington since i never got a tracking number from them to see where my main caps are and those should be in thursday. so monday i get to start finally building this motor!!!

i would post pics but i don't no how to resize pictures...

so finally got my block on the hone to line bore main caps after some problems with trying to hone the caps (as instructed by an individual) and bending a piece that locks into the mandrill. But should be able to final hone Wednesday or Thursday[/urlhttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/mopar426_2008/Turbo%20Hemi%20Build/IMG_1214.jpg[/img

finally got everything back that i needed to finish the short block along with the sexy custom pistons from diamond that FINALLY came in the other day so the short block should be together very soon. and hopefully my heads will come in very soon from THITEK.

Hey if you want to start a REALLY cool "discussion" you should tell them what bearing clearances you're running....
