With the motor at 3 oclock it hits bulkhead and with motor at 6 or 9 it sticks into engine bay to much.
Blue did look at this should have looked more

Please update us to how it works in practice - sufficient torque, etc.
Well done!
With the wiper on the car there they seam to work great and have loads of power no screen in at mo but they will rip you hands off.
i would have thought there would be plenty of power, the wiper arms on the Charger are way shorter than on a T4 so in theory less effort is required

For once in my life I listen to someone Good advice Pete. I brought a truck dana 60 and had it converted to fit a B-body. This is as really B-body dana 60 are now Crazy money. The truck axle was cut down and had Moser billet bearing ends welded on. A Posi Limited slip unit 30 splines 3.54 Gears New Nitro gear axle shafts fitted.

Ride height is the last thing you do. At least with a person in the drivers seat.
My experience with the Trans cooler on the Barracuda indicates that unless you have some hugh fans that will draw huge current, then the Rad needs to go in the maximum air flow position (i.e. at the front).

Sorry my question is that is a ( I think its a 6 quarts) sump ok for street use ??? Or shall i get a more street sump.
Also as im going to run a bottom blower pulley shall i move the whole rad infront of the front pannel(cutting holes
). Or is it that i have a strange water pump.?
