    Running trucks are more fun no matter what they have for a power plant or transmission.....

    True story, mine has been sitting for so long it's beginning to look more like a park monument than a project

    Why did the weather here have to get so cold? The day I picked up the motor a few weeks ago, I worked in the garage all weekend with the door open. Since then it hasn't crested 20 degrees and they're calling for 5-9" of snow tonight.

    My father and his second wife were both from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. They said it was colder there temperature wise than Michigan but Michigan feels colder from the amount of humidity being surrounded by the great lakes.

    Thats gonna be badass Greg. Are you going to be able to keep the feature where it uses the air conditioner to cool down the intake air for the SC?

    Thought I replied to this the other day - that feature is only on the blower on the Demon. I don't have A/C on the truck and I'm not even sure I could rig up a controller for that to work right at this point. I don't see them coming out with a Mopar Demon kit any time soon though.

    Fun fact, the Milodon swap oil pan will not fit a Hellcat without modification. The front timing cover is different due to the blower drive, so you've got to cut the pan and move the front pan rail back about 1/2" in order to clear said blower drive.

    Slow going lately.

    Cowl had to be trimmed to clear the supercharger just a bit. Had to use some plumbing to angle the blower coolant temp sensor a bit differently so it would clear the firewall. Body harness is run, just needs to be spliced into the factory ignition switch. Started running the main harness last night, couldn't fit it between the blower and firewall so I had to pull the blower and see what I was doing. Hoping to have the wiring done this weekend, and then it'll just be plumbing fuel, coolant, and oil lines. One good weekend of work and it could be driving I believe.

    The hard part is getting that one good weekend of work lol.

    It’s a snug fit for sure. I can only imagine that will be even more tight with all the finishing components. Nice project and kudos to you for such an undertaking

    He’s got a sweet little video clip on Instagram ripping down the street with the hood off. You can hear that supercharger whine as he bangs through the gears in about 4 seconds, so rad

    This thing is bad ass. Any new updates? I've been watching the YouTube vids for motivation even though I haven't found the right truck yet lol. It would have been a awesome build thread on here.
