Hi, my names Patrick and I'm 18 and currently attending university of cincinnati for Mechanical Engineering. You can blame my Dad for the Mopar thing, he has a 68 Road Runner 383/727. I can't see myself driving anything else.
I know this site is for the older Muscle Car but with the new project. I'm going to be coming on here for ideas. The original plan for the 96 was 496"(440) with 727 and 8 3/4 rear. Mainly for drag racing only but the more I think about it the less fun it will be. I am still going with the 496" but I am leaning towards using my engineering skills to fab up a sweet suspension/brake/rear setup that can take turns better than most dakotas out there. Along with a t/56 set-up. I have time now to think about what I want to do, then during the summer I'll be working on it when I'm not at work.
Here she is, going to be a fun project. I have the 440 block cleaned up to .040 over. Going with 440sourcs kit and "stealth heads". Everything else is up in the air.

I still have my first truck that I got bone stock from my parents when I was 15.5 years old. I got it almost the way I want it now. Just finishing up a few things and then it will be my daily driver down here in Cincinnati next school year. It's a fun little truck, 408, Qa-1's, built 46re etc.
The rims that are in the pics are 20" R/T wheels, I no longer have those and upgraded to 19x10 CCW 505A's. In that last pic I'm currently upgrading the front brakes to 14" rotors and 4 piston brembos AKA Gen III viper brakes. I started this project over spring break and only got the driver side 90% done, still have to tap the bracket I made. And No, I'm not putting them on just because they say "Viper" haha I could care less what they say as long as they stop me quickly.
