Taking the Plunge!

Vic sure sounds like a solid friend. [emoji23]

Seriously though, that hemi is gonna be awesome!

Vic is a stand up kind of guy for sure. Getting him a PR44 front housing and set of beadlocks for his troubles is scant little compensation for what I expect will be a challenging undertaking!

Can’t wait to hear how you like it. The only concerns I’ve heard from guys the run the 6.4 is that the run Hot. 13_gecko_rubi May have some insight on this and work arounds to get it to run cooler including different cats. It’s on my list way down the road, so I’m very interested in what you think.

Yeah — have definitely heard the same concerns on multiple forums. Perhaps adapting a JL fan for improved air pull-through — those things are beasts!

Ha ha! I’d rate that a close second. Although I’ve got a new hamsternaut in training — did some high-G runs on a home-built centrifuge and some high altitude conditioning with a capsule suspended under a tethered weather balloon. He’s looking pretty solid so far!

I'm sure the hamster is a volunteer...

Now need to decide if I want/need to change the axle gearing, and then what gearing for the Atlas II xfer case :hmm:

Currently running 5.38 gears with the 40's, and stock WA580 tranny. Guessing the Hemi won't care......

Well once you go with 42s you probably will appreciate the 5.38s.
