Thanks for all the appreciation and ideas. If there are any specific questions posted I will address them.

My 5.9 L magnum transplant into a 1977 Aspen is nearly complete and I thought I would share some pictures. The engine and transmission are stock 1995 ram truck with a few jeep grand cherokee and aftermarket parts for AC and air intake. The stock PCM runs the engine, trans, fuel pump and cruise...

I had a GV installed behind a big block in a B body. The installation was as described by the other poster. The unit works well although I really only use it as an OD. A 46RH will require removal of a floor pan stiffening structure and a custom trans mount. These have been detailed in...

I Installed a remote oil filter behind the bumper. I welded some brackets to the back of the inner bumper. The filter is at the same level as the bumper to protect it from road hazards and the radiator is lower. I needed to leave the charcoal canister in place and it was too thick to mount...

I have one, unfortunately only one, I do not need. See attached picture.

I used a DPDT industrial control relay with a 12VDC coil in a similar application. I wired the coil of the relay in parallel with the brake lights. The PCM from the magnum engine needs a "brake on" signal to properly operate the torque converter lock up. One pole completes the circuit to...

F body "matchbox" style.

They did a episode of the Engine Masters TV show about this question. It was episode 60. They had a 430 hp small block and compared dual 2.5 in vs 3 inch single. The takeaways were, at that power level, muffler design and pipe merge design on the single exhaust made a bigger difference than...

Summit BCI-62016 Not listed for FMJ but it does work with custom installation.

I will check the records...

I am running a BeCool brand. It is a universal fit but it seems to work.

I also asked the sales person at steele if they had the door seal material they use on the two door parts in bulk, unfortunately they said they did not.

I just used steele rubber products 70-3256-72 on the rear hatch of my wagon. It fits well and seems to seal well. I have not tested it yet for water intrusion however.

I have unfortunately misplaced the invoice, but I do not believe that they charged a premium for other colors. There was a rather long lead time, months, to get the proper color material.

Transmission crossmember was made of rectangular tubing and connected to the factory bolt holes. Floorpan stiffer was replaced with curved flat bar. A non mopar trans mount was used. See pics.
