We been waiting for this crank for months. Finally. But….
If anyone is looking for a trans and t case. I have a paramount built trans by Bill, great condition, I never had a chance to get on it as we just been fixing all the issues that Premier did.
but the trans is barely used, the t-case is freshly built never installed. I’m going 8hp95 built now.
But my 8hp70 and t case is going up for sale here .

I understand the hellcat wasn't out when you started this, but half way through, why not just buy a a hellcat crate motor??? Seems like your spiraling down a never ending money pit.
I can't answer for him but for some people it's not about the money, it's about the journey or the end result of building something yourself.

Also his build will probably be faster than Tina Boggess 9 sec Hellcat Durango.

Spent a ton of money having my 2014 Shaker built at Petty's garage. At the end of the day I could have traded it and bought a used Hellcat. But like others, I like my "built" hotrod. It kind of reminds me of my 71 Challenger Shaker I built back in the day. We now have the 21 Super Stock to keep it company but I still love to drive the Shaker as much as possible. Can't wait to see the RT in action so excited for you.

It was a mess the first whole build was done by a different company who I thought I could trust in the end everything was bad they did, and I had to replace everything. No I’m not happy but things coming together. Should be ready for mats next month.

It was a long block I was offered for a good price. Over the old 5.7 that leaked and burned oil. Burned through 2 qt of oil every 400 miles with misfires. Lied about the fuel system. New trans and tcase was burned by them. They blame the detailers and the detailers point fingers back. 170 k later. I started over and we’re almost there. Pushrods and rockers will be there this Friday and next Tuesday motor and trans will be in. Than just some fabrication.

I hope that was a misprint. You could own two Hellkitties for that money.
