- This 1973 Dodge Charger is one hell of a ride! Built on a big block Mopar engine, this car is powered by muscle and fury. But, things didn't always go according to plan... In this video, we show you the dramatic story of the big block mopar finally blowing up. After years of abuse and neglect, the engine finally gave up on the car. Watch as we take the car apart and document the damage, all the way down to the blown through carbureted. This is one hell of a build!In this video, we're taking a look at a 1973 Dodge Charger that finally blew up. This car is a classic and it's amazing to see how far it's come over the years. The big block mopar engine in this car finally blew up, and we decided to document the build process and the final result. Check out how we took this car from a stock 1973 Dodge Charger to a turbocharged monster that blows everyone away!

13:34 “you got spark?” If only we knew exactly what we were in for…
If only 😂
The 361 is actually a good idea with the turbo, because it has 5-bolts around each cylinder (as all BBM's do) and a smaller bore for more gasket sealing area between cylinders. You can get AutiTec/RaceTec to make you a custom piston in say .060" over and get custom Cometic head gaskets with the smaller bore. I did this with my 318 turbo motor, with small chamber MoPar Performance aluminum heads. I went with the 318+.030" bore (3.94") and a 4" bore Cometic gasket for that reason, a more stable head gasket.
I cut out a section of video where I pull out an old used 383 gasket that I hadn't tossed in the trash and that gasket gives the 361 a lot more meat around the sealing ring. I found some off the shelf 400 SBC pistons that work if I bore the block 30 or 40 over. The limit in the manual says the limit is 30 so when I pull the motor out, I'll take it to the machine shop and have it checked out to see what we can do
@@nightwrencherperformance The problem with a 400 SBC piston is the compression distance and pin diameter. It will be cheaper to get an AutoTec/RaceTec piston for a 383 MoPar made to the smaller diameter, than having to buy long chevy rods custom made and modifying the crankshaft for Chevy journals. The 361 has the same compression distance as a 383, so that one change in the piston will be reasonable, cost wise. You can safely bore any 361 .060" or more, some say .185" over (.060" over 383 size!) but I wouldn't try that.
@@rodneybyrd9516 I agree with you but what I found is that I can use stock for 440 rods. The only thing I would have to do is have the small end machine doubt and then have a bronze bushing installed to accept the floating pin on the chevy pistons.
@@nightwrencherperformance Gotcha!! Rod change makes it possible!! Hot rod ingenuity!!
@@rodneybyrd9516 and I got a set of 6 pack rods ready to go 😎
You need to use shim steel head gaskets with your turbo, those felpros are for low compression engines. Keep that oil changed frequently and new rod and main bearings every ten thousand miles or less depending on how hard you run it. Oil changes every 1500 miles on a stock 1967 426 Hemi and that is the recommended bearing change interval for the Hemi. You can't tell how good used oil is by looking at it nor can you tell the condition of a rod or main bearing by looking at it unless you have x-ray vision.
I used MLS gaskets with ARP bolts on my 383, 14 pounds with the GT45 and 0 issues so far. *Knock on wood. I have about 2000 miles with countless WOT pulls in a 4400# 67 Newport with 2:76 gear so she’s workin hard.
Yeah, I found a set that might work in this combo. Gonna have to try it soon
I think what helps it live is I'm running an FiTech system with an MSD distributor so it can also control timing. Its a 383 HP but i swapped to late model 452 casting heads. 40 thou gasket. Dropped from 9.8:1 to roughly 8.1:1 compression. Using the Fitech I run 40-41* under high vacuum cruise, drops to 36 WOT, and 24 under boost. Seems to keep cylinder pressures in check and the plugs look good. 14.5-13.9 cruise AFR, 12.5 WOT, fat 11.1 under boost. @@nightwrencherperformance
Let us know what tran mods are between the boosted 383 and the 2.76 rear! .must be stout!
@@henrymeynier5072 whole thing is bone stock other than 452 casting 440 heads to lower the HP383 to 8:1 from 10. Stock bottom end, stock cam, stock crank, stock 4bbl intake manifold, and stock 727 all with 92k miles lol. Just did over 1700 miles round trip to vegas and back. 0 issues. It doesnt slip, doesnt get hot, just goes.
Thank you for building that model of Charger. I've had mine since '89. You don't see anyone make them bad. I love it! May God bless you guys!!!!
I appreciate it man! Thank you!
soft copper head gaskets ? We found a local shop with a waterjet makes them pretty cheap for our blown alky engine
I dont have any experience with copper gaskets but its worth a try!
Clearly a case of Motor Obsessed Performance Addicted Racer.
Happens every time 😔
Hopefully you'll make it back to the No Name Nationals this year with it! I'm planning to take my 452 cui 72 Charger this year. It would be great to line up 2 3rd gen Chargers on the track!Just Mopar Joe is going to help me get it finished up next month and I will be adding the content on my channel.
That would be sweet! I'm hoping I can make it out this year!
Core shift! That's why it's so important to examine and chose a good block.
Just open up the cylinder where the valves are hitting a little, no big deal, look at BBC cylinders!!
I might have the whole thing bored out. Theres a lot of cyl wear so maybe I can go 30 or 40 over and drop in pistons with valve reliefs. After that just notch the top of the cylinders a bit and that should really help this motor 👍
would think that all that you would need to do is just buy Max Wedge port heads, bolt on low compression,stock stroke 400 block to make last
You're right, all I need to do to fix this is change the engine 😂
👍💪 This is gonna be interesting. 😆
Can't be show biz wothout a little drama 😂
Same head gasket problem I have with my 273.Off the shelf gaskets fit all the way to a 360 and my engine is .30 over so the fire ring of a 273 specific gasket hangs too close to the cylinder for me to be comfortable.When I freshen her up I'll look at different brands to try to find the best fit.Also I'm running J heads with the big valves but no interference because of the overbore.
Pretty much identical to my situation
We built a 400 for my buddies car, has 525HP and 550 LBFT of torque for a pretty basic build with truck flow too end, I’d get one of those short blocks
Thats pretty sweet, I wonder how much it made to the wheels
@@nightwrencherperformance it’s hard to tell because it has a pretty loose converter. Quarter mile times are the only thing that really matters
What gaskets are you using?
Are those the stock smogger 440 CAST Pistons ??????
Worse, they're the stock cast pistons from 1962. Its a 1962 361 big block. All the size of the big blocks without the power 😂
No way, youre homies with travis black
Wrong, he's homies with me 😎
Nice video, maybe you should stop waiting till the last minute. Just saying 😅
Then what would you guys watch 😂
Those are junk gaskets, that's the problem.
