BUILDING THE WORLD'S FIRST DODGE DEMON TRUCK!

cooling in this

truck

but I guess that's what you can do when you have all this space this engine comes here we'll get it back maybe at least 3 more that will give us plenty of room in the front maybe for some extra twin turbos in the way, some thought the radiator was awesome, this axle to the next level, there are supposed to be two different ways to pull this engine, one you can remove the cab or you can try to do what we I'm starting to think we have to thank to all these oils for this thing that falls apart so easily.

I thought we were working on an old

truck

. This is going to be a real job. man, you know, you break off the rust by chewing on the bolts, it didn't all come apart very easily, suspiciously easy, almost like it was designed to go that way, the corner of the block rests on this little part of the frame, which says that We can let this whole bracket come to a stop, let it fall and hit the engine mounts and theoretically rip it off, no problem, well we just took out what I think was the last engine mount bolt and the engine didn't move.

Not an inch, though we can make it move, oh. yeah come on so we need to clean the oil pan and then we're pretty much home free oh ok oh not bad after all this bragging about the space in this engine bay this wasn't the easiest engine to get out but en I'm leaving now and I'll never come back, so I guess it's not really our problem, but seeing this thing on the pallet is huge, just the 34 engine and 38 transmission, which are roughly aligned in overall length on the 322 transmission as for the

demon

ic engine. OMG 30 at best now that we are going to release this I'm sure there will be some things we will have to modify, we need to play just because it is a different engine even considering the smaller dimensions but one thing I do know I'm sure we need to change the oil pan.

The Viper engine uses a very large crankcase deep in the rear crankcase and the Demon engine uses a front crankcase. In reality, it won't be supported at all if we place it as is. It will probably come off the stabilizer bar from the steering rack and subframe. It also happens that this will be our

first

chance to see the inside of this engine, which I'm very excited to do unless it's full of metal, in which case I won't be around anymore. Excited wait, can you see it's Meo vivad

demon

baby? I love to tell you that it's dark, but it's clean.

I don't see metal flames, that's a victory. I'm still really excited, it's been a while since I took one of these things apart, I forgot how weird the design is. The scratch built into the gasket seems pretty pointless if you ask me, can't ask for much. more more on what this looks like inside it doesn't look new but there is no metal or damage visible for now we won't address any of the internal parts until we confirm this pan will work. Frame option like this instead of having to make one now, although I'm optimistic the oil pan will work.

One thing I'm pretty sure we won't be able to use are these factory heads if I had to guess how this engine works. I think this will affect the steering column, as for the engine mount which is probably the most complicated part of this whole swap, it's kind of a mix between stock and custom, these guys are Hemi specific swap mounts third generation that are designed to go in an older truck and although this lower part certainly won't work for the truck, we are putting it on this base plate, threaded shock assembly, it will give us a really good foundation to build it and for us, of course, I mean Josh from JCH, well, amazing manufacturing, if I made the brackets for this thing, it would be twisted 10° now before I could do the magic.

We have to bolt up the transmission and try to fit this whole assembly into the engine bay, oh too. like the oil pan we're gluing it on with nothing in it, no torque converter, no flex plate, once we've got everything in place and we know this Transit is going to run then we'll take it out and fix it oh my gosh . Look at that absolutely unreal all this space gain by just subtracting two cylinders when I originally drew this project on the top of my head, it didn't look like we were going to gain that much space, but here we are and I.

I'm sure glad we have it for what we're going to do with all that extra space, I don't know, we'll figure it out once we have it and another thing we need to figure out is what to do with this. V10 8.3L 500 HP Can you fix the oil leaks on this a bit and throw it at something? My original plan was to sell this bad boy and recoup some of the money we have already invested in this project. How fun, how far from the windshield! it was like a leg up to down, believe it or not, even with all this space, this wasn't the easiest engine to get in here, we had to take it out a little bit, the valve cover was hitting the braking power or the filler was hitting to the cow, but we managed to do it without breaking anything, so the couple of problems we have is our oil filler neck, where the oil filler neck is supposed to go, obviously it won't fit anymore, so we're going to have to move it over there or we can flip the valve covers over and put them on this side and then we should be good to go, otherwise the only real problem is the driver's side head is going to be very tight, we have the steering shaft. unplugged right now, but the minute we plug it in it will go from there down and give us so much headroom that we can keep the air conditioning on, it won't interfere with our power steering lines, the supercharger clears the alternator.

It will fit the engine without any problems, although it may be a little tight. Look, it fits absolutely perfect and then there's the stand. I said we would have to remove the bottom of the engine mount. Turns out we didn't. He was only able to modify it slightly, we'll weld on the right frame, so it turns out that the brackets that were designed for some older trucks ended up working perfectly for this and one thing we had to do to make some room was cut the original tabs off the bracket. the motor. the frame was stupid big and the way these new ones are set up we will have plenty of room to point our heads at least towards the passenger side now of course its very easy for me to say everything worked great everything turned out great. smooth, that's because I'm not one to do it well, welcome back, you look like a mouse, it was very simple, honestly, just make the supports on the poles, they'll go up in a second and then I can get on the elevator.

Get off and take the truck. It's very simple. You heard it. Can you believe that was a really simple job? Never in my life did I think I would be working on a car. I'm sorry. Truck with so much. Look at this room, we won't. I have to fight to get this transmission out, it has 6 inches and access to everything, the closest point to the engine was the rear water collector that hangs off the back of the supercharger on the firewall. This engine is assembled fresh out of the box. It worked perfectly. I didn't think it would be like this, how much do you have to modify?

Don't know. Yes, just minor adjustments and just put them directly on the subframe. They worked great, unreal and if you thought it worked easily. It was great, look at this Josh, as always, you absolutely nailed it, you made it almost look too easy until we got to the driver's side head, yes that will be a challenge but I'm sure I've built enough swap cars. Installation issues are limited to the oil filler tube and cylinder head design. financial ruin sometimes things just aren't possible but in this case this is a stupid idea that worked perfectly and I'm excited if you can't tell I'm too excited to start worrying about it and understanding all the different things.

The systems we have to take into account for me, especially when you're

building

something basically from scratch like this, is by far my favorite part of

building

, simply because of all the creativity that goes into designing everything exactly the way you want to build. something incredible like this simply can't be beat. I can't wait to share with you all all the cool things I have planned for this build. I think it's going to be a really special build, completely different to anything I've done before and I'll see you here very soon. Back to the reindeer I have some crazy plans for this car we'll talk about that land it's not a car I have it it's going to be a hard habit to break I don't think I'll regret getting it this is easily the sickest transmission I've ever bought for be ready at the beginning of a project, which means we can
