Well if its of any help, the first production car we are building is a 70 Challenger, set up to look like a 70 Challenger T/A. It will have a worked normally aspirated 6.1 Hemi w/ functional hood scoop, 6-speed T-56, upgraded 3.90 8-3/4 rear w/ torsen type diff, our Level II suspension, Level II brakes, heated/power leather Recaros w/ harnesses, custom interior and dash, real three piece forged aluminum 18" wheels w/ black anodized centers and polished lips and a bunch more.
This one will also have a roll bar as it will get thrashed by the magazines as well.
The next two builds will be a convertibles 71 Challenger and a hardtop Cuda, both will get functional shaker hoods. After that we are doing a 68 Charger, which will be the first car we do with a supercharged 6.1 Hemi. We are doing a twin screw supercharger kit for the 6.1. Supercharger will sit on an intake with integrated air-to-water intercooler. The air to water intercooler will alow easy packaging in almost any vehicle.
We already have a (normally aspirated) single plane four barrel EFI intake well underway for the 6.1 Hemi. Was designed in CAD and then a prototype made using Stereo Lithography. Stereo Lithography basically takes the CAD data and makes a prototype part building it out of resin layer by layer - almost like a three dimmensional printer. The prototype is already bolted on a 6.1 Hemi on an engine dyno waiting to be tested and run with different cam and header packages. See the pics below and you can see how the intake has come along.
The intake was done partly so we could run functional shaker hoods and scoops and we really didn't want to run the factory plastic tuned runner intake w/ a cone filter - we thought these cars would look much better with a more period correct four barrel air cleaner type setup and we really wanted to have the factory scoops and shakers be functional. Dream Car also filmed this including the intake being made on the Stereo Lithography machine.
