freakshow12 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 well I have an update. the prochargers rolled in a couple days ago but I just got fabbing up a bracket now. its going to be tight but it will fit. still have not decided on the dominator or a efi intake like the edelbrock ram intake.
freakshow12 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 a little more done on the bracket. had to trim the inner fender where the battery was to get the blower to fit. not uncommon with the big housing prochargers. little more shaping and add the tensioner and that part should be ready.
freakshow12 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 I am pretty excited. my micro nitro wheels were waiting for me when I got home. now just my drag radials and I will be set.comments welcomed
Dragfreak Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Wow those wheels look amazing!! I like the engine set up, the dominator looks good on there!
bryan_m Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Thats lookin great! Im lovin the wheels! Cheers Bryan
freakshow12 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks. The work that Jim at micro nitro does is pure art!
freakshow12 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 the blower bracket is finished. I used pictures of the 440 dodge bracket on the procharger website and went from there. I made the tensioner from aluminum then slipped some sprue inside and drilled it for a styrene rod to mount it. I countersunk the face a bit to make it look a bit better. it has the idler screw on the top and I made a nut from styrene. it will look better painted I hope. it was a fair bit of work.
TFchronos Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 It's gonna be one fearsome ride when it's done, great work so far!
shucky Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Fred I've so been waiting for these updates! The wheels are beautiful and that's the finest Procharger install I've seen to date. This is going to be a killer build. Outstanding work Fred!
freakshow12 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks guys. Mike, when you give me pure art to work with I try and make the full package pop. The bracket turned out good. Would be nice if there was a way to reproduce it. I want the engine to be the focus of the car

Dragfreak Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 That prochargers looking good, that mount looks very clean . did you scratch that intake or buy it somewhere?
freakshow12 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 The intake is a revell 440 bottom and a dismantled and reshapef NASCAR chevy piece from a revell lumina. Once it's trimmed up it looks like a hi rise 440 imtake
Jeremy Jon Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) great work, love the stance, the belt driven pro-charger, and those wheels are amazing!! Edited May 21, 2013 by Jeremy Jon
freakshow12 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks. I hope to be back on this tonight a bit. I had to go golfing all weekend you know! Lol. I have to make an electric water pump, a low mount alternator and get the crank pulley aligned. Edited May 21, 2013 by freakshow12
freakshow12 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 been a while with work and my boys playing lacrosse but I found an hour tonight to get some things done on this. I got some paint on some things. I made an electric water pump from pictures on some mopar boards. I mocked it up so you good folks could have a look. what do you think so far?
freakshow12 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 I still have to paint the pullies, mount the alternator and a whole bunch more but I will get it.
freakshow12 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 well after a bit of a break I got back at it. got blower belt done and heads installed my induction went from a dominator to EFI. made an inlet elbow and started on a throttle body
freakshow12 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 here are some mock ups. still to come are fuel rails etc. it all fits under the hood but its tight. any questions or comments I would be happy to hear them
mademan Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 looking real good! I just got back from work, sent you a PM.
