4 speed set up in a 2013 Challenger
I'm building a 2013 Dodge Challenger with a 5.7 non drag pak. Been doing it for sometime now. Since I've been waiting for parts and waiting some more. I decided to run a Manual transmission. I'm looking for some help on the clutch set up. Of course pictures would be great. I was wondering if a manual linkage set up is being fabricated or using factory hydraulic. New world for myself to adventure in..

Re: 4 speed set up in a 2013 Challenger
Though this is my crazy dream. First thing first. I couldn't have even gotten this far without the help of my very dear close friend Paul Wong. Paul has made a boat load of phone calls and spent half the cost. Also our good friend Mike Blackstone has been building the engine. Numerous delays that Mike has had to deal with. Don Little did the heads for this project after waiting for ever for parts. Don has always been good to me.
Delays for parts has been frustrating. Two years ago I needed window modules. Was told I would be taken care of. Yeah right!. Pistons took the longest in the beginning. I never went through the process of getting a piston approved. Thanks to Paul and Mike. Now we are waiting for Holley to complete their order. Been waiting for the main part of the Holley ignition for near a 1/2 year. Valve covers too. Waiting for a camshaft. A lot of waiting for sure. I hope someone can help me on the clutch linkage set up. Paul Haszlauer |

The more I look Hydraulic is the best anyway. Very old school here. Learning as I go. I guess the next question is there a go to Hydraulic clutch set up that beats the stock set up.

Re: 4 speed set up in a 2013 Challenger
Sorry I haven't gotten back to this project. My wife is battling cancer and has taken a lot of wind out of the sails. My funds only go so far being retired. Did get a burst of energy though when Mike Blackstone put the engine on the dyno this week. Amazing learning these new camshaft profiles.This 345 (5.7) came with a 117 C.L. camshaft. Those numbers didn't compute to quick in my old school brain. Ran like a dream for all ten pulls. Now I have to get back to this dream of mine.

Re: 4 speed set up in a 2013 Challenger
Honestly it took so long I forgot half of the little things we ran into. I bought things I probably didn't need. Like MSD coils that don't bolt on correctly. I even bought Holley/MSD valve covers. You would think they can see something ain't right. Oh well live and learn. Try to return an electical part these days. Wiring harnesses boxed wrong. Finally Mike, Paul Wong and myself managed to put humpty dumpty back together. Not as easy to do everything yourself but if and when it works. Golden! Looking at the date I was pulling the engine out on the one photo shows I'm very slow I guess.
