Well done Mister Chairman!

It's a shame this has to be done, but in the end Will can rest easy that when he hits the starter button, the beast will burst into life and won't try to destroy itself.

Bloody good save Pete.

Where you gone, Will?

Am I going to have to drive to Shrewsbury to check you aren't squashed flat under a black charger?

Still alive boys.

The engine that Bacca built turned out to be a bad options.

From Push Bananarama! casting flashings to cam lobes worn out and on and on.

Yes it was cheaper than anyone else but no good if it dont work....

He is now back on the forum as yabadaba and i would suggest everyone to take a wide birth.

On a positive note im now having another engine built and hope to be on the road soon.

Hi Will,

Sorry the engine didn't work out for you.
As I told you from the start.
I have NO suitable block and no specialist parts for a BLOWER engine.
You managed to get Mas to sell you his specially prepped 440 block, fitted with Aluminum KB HEMI maincaps.
He had over a £1000 invested in that, half the cost of your build.
All the pressure testing and machine work done at cost by Eve Engines.
The camshaft along with other parts were excellent quality, mainly sourced from knowledgeable people in the USA
Although second-hand, all checked and passed for re-use.
If you had paid for new parts, that's what you would have got.

This all happened three years ago, I built you a free transportation frame so you could take it safely to Germany.
I gave you free parts (worth hundreds) and charged you no build costs as a friend!!!

You got an engine for half its market value.

But oddly enough, you chose to insult me and my trusted Mopar friends who supplied the parts!

Its so sad that it has come to this!

From one fellow Charger owner to another.

Will its so sad that all my hard work and yours Bananarama! a 'bump in the road'!
You are understandably upset and so am I.
If you think I would fit shoddy and sub standard parts in your engine or ANY engine, you sure don't know me at all...

I Will start a thread in the ENGINES department to try and explain where we started this engine build and where it ended up.

Please do your best to move on with your epic voyage into a wonderful and exciting Mopar!

Best wishes and 'carry on regardless' of all set-backs.

bacca

Not at Nats. Where you go, Will? What's occurring with the Charger?

Yes I was wondering that too, hopefully all is well on planet Will....
