JCG Restoration & Customs 70 Challenger 2nd Test Car!

[Cris@JCG]

So last Saturday (July 26th) took the Challenger out for some testing with the new intake to Streets of Willow & hurt the engine.. I thought I was done & was not going to make the event with USCA in Portland but Karl let me borrow a back up motor for the event.. bone stock LS3 crate engine with a cam.. 525 hp crate engine.. Rev limiter was set at 6600 rpm.. no time to break in the engine.. but managed to get the engine swaped out in one day.. & off to the event. PIR was one hell of a track!!! It took me awhile to get used driving on that back straight..

Some video! I made due with what I had.. was early breaking with appexing.. but that is where I felt comfortable driving.. Plus it sucked being down HP & torque!

There is no break in on a roller cam motor....

Chris what program or app are you using for the video capture with data? Also on the rear spoiler do you make something like that for a first generation camaro?

[Cris@JCG]

Using the Smarty cam & data logger from http://www.aim-sportline.com/index_eng.htm..

Have not made a spoiler like the one from the Challenger for any 1st gen Camaros.. but got a 69 coming in next month for some aero work.. I will let ya know if come up with something...

AMAZING!!! This car is just perfect! I joined this forum just for this thread (a member of forabodiesonly turned me on to it.

I am currently in the process of putting an LS in my 1970 Dodge Dart. You're Challenger is just beautiful... I have a site for all LS swapped cars including mine www.builttobedriven.com

would you mind if I featured your ride once I get the section going?

Thank you for the compliments on the 70 Challenger! This car has been an absolute blast to not only race it but the privlidge of building ... I am glad that we will not only be the only ones with an LS Mopar.. We got notified a few weeks ago that we have a feature story in Hot Rod Magazine.. Great honor to get some ink in that magazine.. we have no problems with you doing a feature on the car..

Here is a great picture that Falken tire did last month!




I finally shipped the car home to Karl for Christmas.. I had a hard time letting the car go because it was such a great car to drive around town.. My daughter luved me picking her up from school with it.. car had 4500 miles on it!
Karl knew that I was going a hard time shipping it out .. so he did not want to send out the trailer empty back to CA.. My new toy for 2015.. 1971 Trans Am!

Killer pic! The Challenger is one wicked machine!

Cris, I tried searching, but I couldn't find anything about the Corvette in your avatar. Is the Corvette a current build? I love the looks of it in the avatar.
