What a surprise here. Always have trouble with these, mostly leaking.

Snout seems to be going in too far and the outer seal starts riding up un taper.

ATI makes a shim to go between pump and snout, just never heard of anyone using it.

Oil pan came out.


What a pain these are when eng is in.

Are those oil squirters ? Why are you removing the oil pan ?
Yes those are the squirters and Chrysler forgot to put access holes in oil pan for them.

The Nag trans still seems like the red headed step child. Im still trying to get mine right.
Good old NAG1. that 3-4 shift. Other than that is it shifts firm and quick in all other gears.

Still think I over pressured it in tune and blew a seal.

No burnt fluid or material in oil. Looks and smells clean.

Still getting used to the 8HP95 in Trackhawk. Love the rev matching down shift. Hate the way it kills spark or something shifting in track mode.

Satera tuned one, 728whp on 9lbs, E85, plus it sounds like a nice cam in there.

Looking forward to 16lbs or more boost. Still waiting on Griptec for their 2.5 and 2.75 pulleys.

They have the 2.5 and 2.75 that SmoothflowPulleys made for me, was gonna have them coated, but they offered me a deal on theirs.

Accessories are on.


Cooler in


Looks like all cooling lines routed right.


This gets set on tomorrow so I can verify cooling lines and get fuel lines setup.


May or may not bolt up, trans still out, little tougher getting to top bolts with it on, but I may just say, "F-it" and bolt her up.

Found a guy in Ocala that will build trans using SHR WAR Viking kit I have, friend of a friend of a friend.

Trans may have a ride up with a friend, if not, I'll be driving it up Saturday morning.

Spoke to GripTec today, pulleys at anodizer, should be back tomorrow and shipped out.

Looks great.
I'm still wondering about the oil squirters, were you adding them to the engine which previously didn't have them (can this be done on a 5.7 vvt block as well ? )
I assume this is a stroked 6.4 block ? Stock 6.4 heads more or less or have they been worked ?
How rowdy is the idle with that cam ? (you don't happen to know how many in Hg and rpm you pull at idle ? )
Is this a weekend car or is it comfortable for daily ?
Was the trans stock other than solenoids and tuning up to this point ?
How much is the car making now at what psi if you want to share ?
I lost track, is the driveshaft upgrade simply to handle the power or was there something else driving that ? (were you using stock driveshaft with the getrag ? )
Are you still using the stock axles that came with the Getrag conversion ?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to this platform and I figure if people post up their stuff then they want to share !

Holy mother of questions. I hate answering questions.

1. Squirters get in the way when you stroke an engine, you can bend for clearance like I did and they can still break off, like mine did. Best to just plug them.

2. 2017 RAM 6.4 BGE. Hellcat 6.2 started life as a RAM BGE 6.4.

3. Nice cam idle, about 12hg

4. Weekend car, great for daily and I did drive it to MN and back. 15mpg at 80mph avg

5. Trans had ALTO clutches and a DINGS Racing valve body and tune, no blue tops.

6. 11 max PSI with little E-Force, E-Force ran out of air with set-up. 2.62 upper 18 OD% lower. don't know WHP, a bunch.

7. Stock drive shaft and axles, never ran drag tires.

O-rings, plus my heat blanket. Didn't pay 550.00 for that and FI chiller spacers



Used these as a spacer to fight heat soak from head.

Looking like a Ford engine bay. Full of hoses and wiring.

Fuel and cooling system plumbed in.

Smooth Boost controller in. First one, sort of a proto type, they'll need to update a little.

Rod end contacts upper and shaft contacts bracket. Mounting bracket could be altered some. Maxed out.
