87629 dayco. You have to cut about an inch off of 1 side. Fits great. Hope this helps, Eric L

just in case, check the rails on the covers and make sure your rockers arent hitting them. I never thought about it, and read it somewhere, pulled mine off and checked, sure enough they were hitting enough to put metal in my oil. I had to clearnace them slightly. They may be ok on yours, but hate for you to hurt a motor because of something so simple.

And I also added a crankcase evap port to my driverside cover. I just did a bulkhead fitting rather than weld one in, just in case I changed the design in the future, I could change fittings easier. Eric L

Very nice work, man!! I love the alternative body wrapped around that engine. Looks like a huge engine setback too. It should get the weight on the back treads pretty easily set up like that. Again, very nice work!

The car ended up weighing 2950 with me, my toolbox, and a full tank of fuel. So probably 2900 race weight. And the weight bias is 50.2 percent on the front and 49.8 on the rear. It hooks HARD. Eric L

That car is great!

The Mopar guys are hyper-brand loyal and unfortunately, are slow to accept and adopt something as drastic as a engine brand swap.

You should post this car up on www.forabodiesonly.com and the race section of www.moparts.com

Sorry, no pics of my rubbing. It was barely, but glad I caught it when I did. I just notched the rail by each rocker.
