Chrysler did some really cool stuff back in the day. They even had a 440 6 barrel marine engine. (Really obscure, but they did make them)

Keep up the pics on the magnum murf.

That is correct, the marine 440-6 was called "The Mover" Chrysler 375
They also had a 426 Hemi 525hp marine engine.

Yeah its too bad no one made an outdrive that would hold the horsepower of the 440 or Hemi motors until Chrysler stopped building the big blocks.

Started doing some glass work on the dash and put the spacers and wheels on my trailer while the glass was drying. I actually removed the plywood from the dash and replaced it with a piece of left over 1/2" Okoume from my transom job

The throttles are actually 1/4" longer than the dash, so I am adding a small bump to the bottom of the dash to help thee throttles fit and look correct.

And the new shoes on the trailer, same size wheel and tire as the truck, so I will have common spares. I am not a huge fan of wheel spacers, but in this case I feel its worth it they are 1.5" thick, and also convert the 1/2" studs in the drum to 9/16" studs in the spacer to better fit the wheels, The net offset is exactly the same as the wheels I took off the trailer.

Where the hell did you get a "ram charger". I'm sure I've came across you on another forum....????

You sir are a real mopar man. Well played.

Man after my own heart. Lol

I bought it from some Mexican migrant farmers in Fresno Ca last year. Swapped in a HO 24 V Cummins / 6 speed and full 2500 suspension. I definitely bleed Mopar blue. I've owned 40 cars over the years and only one of them was not a Mopar or Jeep. A 98 C-5 Vette I bought new (should have bought a Viper GTS) . The reason I sold my old Nova 250 was really the Chevy motors lol.

ham_r_down01 11-30-2015 06:43 AM

That's freakin awesome. I totaled a low mile 2001 2500 Cummins ho 6 speed truck. Loved that thing. I'm all mopar too.
