Finally got the motor, transmission, and headers in the charger! Now onto plumbing and wiring and we can hear this thing!

Buttoning up this little 370 LS motor. Waiting on pushrods to show up and then put the intake on and some accessories and this thing is ready to go into its home.

Travis’s beautiful 54 Chevy came in for a set of rear lowering blocks, front lowering springs and a transmission leak. During the process of all of that we’ve taken care of a few other things on the car that were safety issues and some other upgrades. New lower control arms, all new tie rods and ends, solved inoperative brake lights, replaced some brake lines, addressed a few spots on the frame rails, and installed a new shifter as well as a new throttle cable and installed the proper speedometer gears in the transmission to correct for gearing and tire sizes. This one was fun and will be completed in the next few days.

This little 445 was quite the engine build. What started off as a refresh as a 440, turned into the all to often known and heard “well while we’re here” which lead to having the block cleaned, checked, and bored, the rotating assembly balanced for forged rods and pistons, a comp retro fit roller cam, edelbrock aluminum heads, and will be topped off with a sniper efi system. This will find its home in a 1968 dodge charger. We’re excited to have the first complete Mopar restoration under our belts and are extremely greatful for it to be such an iconic car. (No it’s not going to be a General Lee)

This little 370” LS is coming together beautifully. Customer wanted reliable power on tap at any time. Stock 6.0 block bored over, stock crank, forged H beam rods and forged pistons, BTR stage 3 twin turbo cam, some ICT goodies and it’ll get topped off with a pair of absolutely beautiful PRC brawler LS3 heads, and a BTR equalizer intake and a matching set of BTR valve covers. This car is going to be a riot to build and to drive and I’m excited to be a part of it. Keep a look out for more to come.

I apologize in advance to anyone who I might not get back to right away or be able to fit in, I’m finishing up a lot of what I had hanging over, and prepping my stuff and checking things off my list as I prepare for a busy September. I will be away from my phone and my shop from September 2-23 for my wedding/honey-moon and glory days car show. I appreciate everyone and I will try to get back to all of you as quick as I can before then and after then! Thank you all for understanding!

And that’s going to be a wrap on this one. This project has been a blast and I’ve had so much fun doing it. I’m sad it’s not mine but I’m happy for the customer to be able to enjoy this absolute bad ass little cab over. Thank you cage rage for kicking this one my way and for helping answer questions along the way as well. After the radiator caps get here tomorrow, I can bolt the hood on and load it up to be delivered to the customer!

The nova will be attending the Glory Daze Motorcycle Show this September! I’m super excited about it! Got a few more things to finish up on it before it can make the drive down but we’ll get it there! Come check it out along with a ton of other bad to the bone bikes and cars!

Fun project going on in the shop for a customer. This fully custom built 1940 Dodge COE is a true 1 of a kind here. Custom chassis by Cage Rage Fabrications in Evan’s city. It’s in the shop now for a complete wiring job from head light to tail light as well as the stand alone Mopar Performance engine harness to supply power to the crate 6.4 HEMI and 8 speed transmission. It will also be getting plumbing completed from fuel cell to engine, as well as transmission and power steering coolers.
