I personally think this is better than the movie Charger- because it’s 100% real and working. Great work!

[@javiermelendez6855]

Yes me too %100

[@Retro_AO_1982]

100% Agree 👍

[@JustDriven]

It will be better than the movie used Charger. But more importantly, it'll be just how it should have been. It's crazy to think of Vin's character actually cutting the transmission tunnel and modifying the subframe to get this engine straight and centered. haha

@@JustDriven He would have made the mad scientist do most of it....😆

[@ultrablue2]

@@JustDriven : I think what you said is correct- It’s better than the movie car due to the extent of changes. All the little details, sweating the small stuff, it the difference between good and truly great. It’s the same with the Supra- now that it has the correct-offset wheels, the whole car just pops, much better than the original. Stance is everything. I can’t wait to see the finish Charger, sitting on those Daisy wheels with that big blower in your face.

[@Mark_5150]

Centering the engine a lot of extra work that will be known by few, but appreciated by many.

Much respect for your incredible attention to detail, the time,effort, and money alone just to shift that engine over an inch and a quarter is a mindblowing decision. You're doing one hell of job guy's. I can't wait to see the end result. Also looking forward to seeing that eclipse project!

Use an electric steering box. That doesn't fix the trans tunnel but it will give you the freedom to move it

[@JustDriven]

Well yes. And we fixed the trans tunnel and subframe so the monster engine sits centered. Like we said in the video an electric steering column is one less pulley.

Alex's orange 240 is RHD but no longer in his possession. He does however have another 240 project tucked away. We plan to bring it back at some point but not just yet. Thanks for the support!

[@banneddamn]

Honesty moving over the whole engine, doing all sorts of work on the k member, cutting the trans tunnel, and having to build a completely custom axle for the offset is ridiculous. Could of just built a custom machined offset intake/hat mount to make the difference if it's so important. Not to mention the engine needs an certain amount of tilt for proper pinion angles. I just don't get it, there are way easier ways. 🤔

[@JustDriven]

Changing the offset of the intake would still look strange to us. Adrian is working on the geometry for the drivetrain placement before its final resting place. Trust we looked at all the options to avoid moving the entire drivetrain. We've been building cars for many many years and we've developed loads of experience in the best and quickest ways to get the job done. We promise not to let you down with the finished product!

[@captaincoffeecake3595]

Would a custom adapter for in-between the engine and intake have worked to offset the look you going for ? or even a custom intake ?

[@JustDriven]

Possibly. But Daryl's OCD would kick in and then we would end up shifting the drivetrain. So best to just move it from jump. haha...

[@410kane]

Sounds like a headache. Basically gotta reengineer the car. widening the trans tunnel may affect seat placement.

[@JustDriven]

It is a headache. But nothing we haven't encountered before. Seat placement is thrown off a little but nothing major and won't affect drivability.

[@user-xx5hz4jj9c]

Would you look at that, just, just look at it ! Also I now know this cars engine will be centered, definitely real, everything working and better than the movie car, good job guys !

Car looks great, unfortunate that the engine won’t look like the engine from the garage scene.

[@JustDriven]

Why don't you want it to look like the garage scene?

[@jackmossman7559]

@@JustDriven meant unfortunate

[@JustDriven]

Why won't it look like the garage scene? The different blower?

[@jackmossman7559]

@@JustDriven intake manifold is putting it way to high in the air. Also too far back which is why the snout is going to be so long to line up with the drives. Engine in the movie was a 392 and a 671. Coils in the back of the older heims pushed the blower forward and that’s how they got the shorter snout. Their intake from the heads to the blower is much lower and more efficient than this adapter currently putting it way up high. Also the intake in the garage screen was smaller with more in line with the older era drag engines. Whole set up needs to be dropped at least 3 inches. Whole blower will be outside of the hood when in the movie it was 1/3 too half out of the hood. Gonna be sick no doubt, but this is looking to mirror more of the exterior fake blower than the engine scene. But with all this said, it’s 20 years later and some stuff doesn’t exist anymore or is hard to find. The car itself looks 100% spot on.

[@hardcoreep]

I'm surprised people don't complain about you not having the screen accurate brands..., lol.

[@JustDriven]

In our experience people will always find something to complain about. Besides the supercharger is there something we didn't get that was screen accurate?

[@MarkMeadows90]

Hopefully the kinks and minor inconveniences can be worked out for the engine/blower setup. Gotta make it work somehow! At 17:40, that's what she said. 😁

[@JustDriven]

We will get it all sorted. Our team is all over this. We have so much experience and different tastes and styles coming together to make it all happen. There was more to that clip at 17:40 and guess what the next line was?

[@stevenwatts586]

stuff like the engine not sitting center of engine bay is a non issue. the supercharger was fake in the movie so they just stuck it on the center of the hood. building a "real" engine for a "real" car, having it off center is fine. if you were building an "EXACT" replica then it should have a fake supercharger on it, and who in their right mind would do that? i do respect your values in wanting to build it 100% accurate to the move though.

[@fastfrog0077]

I appreciate the effort and work to replicate the movie car this precisely, no easy task for sure. BUT the movie cars engine/blower was a poor replica of the real thing, it never should have been centered. This feels a bit like adding a 14 speed H pattern to replicate the race scenes. Great work, odd choice of details to replicate so precisely.

We will blame OCD. And we don't really think it's that strange. It shouldn't have been centered. You are right, but it was! So with Adrian on our side we will make it happen. And those of you who know will appreciate it. The ones who don't know will also appreciate it.
