- Every project comes with it's own challenges, many of which can rob your enthusiasm and greatly slow down your progress. My friend, Big Mike reached out for my help to get his high school car, this 1972 Dodge Charger name the "Green Goblin" running again. He had an engine asembled by a machine shop with a few mystery parts that didn't match up well. In this video, He and I work non-stop for 5 days repairing, replacing, and grinding to get finally get this car ready to start and break in the solid flat tappet camshaft.
Special thanks to @BigMikesHooptyBarn for including me in his project and helping get it ready for the #nonamenationals 2024.

"Are you ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " 😂😂 Looks promising!!
Thanks Tim!
Looking great! Can't wait to hear it come to life!👍
Thanks brother!
Yall did the cliff hanger ending lol… lookin good boys👊
Haha! Thanks RB
A new mopar joe vid I’m there ! ❤
Thank you!
Nothing sounds sweeter than a new motor coming to life. Can hardly wait to hear this one. It's been 40 years since my high school hotrod ran. I still remember running it downtown after putting in the Purple Shaft and a guy said, she sure is running rough. LOL
Haha! The sound of my people!
Some of us have anxiety about needing help. Then we start to deal with it and get a bit of help. Then it starts all over again when we need more help than we thought. Anticipating this a lot of us never even get to the point of asking for because we need more than we can afford. Or we need more than we think is realistic to ask for. Thanks for bringing us along and being the fixer of situations that some of us feel so intimated by. 🙏
Absolutely! I’m highly considering doing more projects like this. Helping guys get their projects going and working alongside them.
@@JustMoparJoe can I be your neighbor lol.
Wow. She needed more than I'd have thought. Good thing the professionals are handling this!
Haha! Let me know when he showed up 😂
@@JustMoparJoe 🤣🤣
Collabs are so cool. It's nice to see the Green Goblin almost ready to roll.
Thanks Jay! It was a fun week
Nice car and project.....great content and looking forward to seeing more...
Thanks
Thank you! I had to split it to not an hour long video
You guys bout got it lined out, but man don't leave us hanging on the start up like that. Keep up the good work joe.
More to come! I had to split it so it wouldn’t be an hour long 😂
@@JustMoparJoe ok cool, will looking forward to the next video.
Looks like you two had a lot of fun!!!
All week!
Clean Green Machine
It’s a cool one
Two Great Guys Right There!
Good stuff and I can't thank you enough for helping ol' Brother Hoop out with this man. You caught a lot of things that many others would've missed by trusting what had been done to it before.
Any time! We had a good time. The charger is losing hoopty status!
Very nice to see the Green Goblin coming together! Nice work guys!
Thanks Tony!
Looking good Joe and Mike.
I know this had to be alot of hard work.
Looks nice.👍
Thanks Ed! Hard fought battle!
I believe you have everyone’s attention . I’m really looking forward to the next video . This series has been very educational for me .
Thanks Buddy!
Nice! Those cars were popular back in the 80s when I was in high school. The 68-70s were around but not as much, these 71 on cars were more readily available with the 318 under hood. More of the column shift bench seat variants I recall.
This one is interesting. Rear defroster, gator top, rallye gauges, and slap stick. Also factory 8 3/4 with the 318!
Yes they where, my first car was one I got it for 50dollers in 1985 a yellow 72Charger SE
Glad She will finally come to life! Check check dbl check,good luck
Thanks brother!
That was great! It's like seeing it for the first time! 😂
Thanks Mike!
The rockers sure look Proform to me
Maybe ok on stock heads or something. 😵💫
Negative...@@JustMoparJoe
Great job
Thank you!
Should be a sweet ride, when it's finished, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thanks Donald
👍🏻🇦🇺 converter Huston we have a problem 🤔 enjoy your work together 👍🏻.
Thanks 👍
Green Goblin!!

Joe Joe Joe...yur killin me here...I need to see this thing fire off...NEED
Haha! Coming this afternoon!
Nice work Joe! Looking forward to more videos… burnouts basically 😂
Thanks for sharing!👍🏽
Haha! Thanks brother
Being in high cotton here...I had to look that one up.
Now you’re getting educated 😅
Looks like if I line up with the Big Mike, I'll get a good look at the tail lights!
Haha! He’s one driveshaft away from burning rubber!
WOW it's been a long time since I seen under the hood of a 72 Charger there's a lot more room in the 72 than the 73 Charger ,man I miss my 72 but I found a 73 for a decent price and snatched it up, I like the body style but when they changed the front end to the isolated k frame it sure makes it a tight fit for a big block, that 72 Charger sure brings back some memories, my first car was a yellow one that had a 318 , always wanted a big block and now I have one but had to settle for a 73Charger , sure hope your friend/customer has some serious fun with it
Definitely more on this one! Thanks Dina!
You did it too.....😒...more withdrawals...need to hear it🔥up!
Very soon!
The suspense!
It’s an uphill battle!
Stock converters will have an O or an X by the offset mounting pad. If not, you can determine the offset on the converter and the flex plate with a scale or tape measure before mating the engine and transmission and mark them at that time.
Those are some sweet pulleys.
Thanks Mike! I always mate and paint mine. This one drove me nuts
@@JustMoparJoe it's offset by about 1/8 inch.
👍 👍 👍 👍
Thanks brother!
Hoopty Mike!
You got this under control should be real nice
Thanks Granddad
For converter you only need to install one bolt. Then turn engine. Find hole not lined up, turn back and move one hole and install bolt. Repeat untill all line up. Install and torque bolts. If you move holes same direction, at most it'll take 4 tries. If lucky you'll get er first time
I’m saving my luck for the drag strip! Thanks brother
Good thing you pulled the valve covers....
Absolutely! 😅
For a Good Time Klick Here 23:48 🤘
npthing beats a big block 3rd gen Charger !
It’s a cool ride!
😮ohhhhhh you two are are a couple of teazzers 😅
😂🫡 thanks brother. This video was about the journey instead of the destination
😎👍💣
🔥
Tease.
🤫
383 / 400 block huggers
Good call
Such a tease!
Coming today!
Mopar Joe can you see if the block hugger headers fit heads with straight plugs and have clearance for the boots. And if so who makes them. Years ago I bought some and the tubes would not clear the boots on the plugs.
Mike took them back with him this last weekend. He definitely may sell them
That valve gear was clearly installed by an amateur. Dosen't it make you wonder what you would find on the bottom half ?
I seen one come into the shop once where they put flat tappet lifters on a roller cam. They got it started and run for a few minutes. Incredible disaster !
I saw the machine shop build sheet on the short block. It was well written. I was definitely worried about the top end
Tease😮😊
Coming soon!
Why a Single Plane manifold? I imagine it will make oodles of torque but will it rev high enough and safe enough to utilize the full effects of a single plane?
The torque will be great for that heavy sled. It’s full interior and all. I think the only better option would have been an rpm dual plane. But he had this M1.
Joe, what made you check the rocker arms and pushrods? (Glad you did) With everything bolted on, I would have thought it just needed a carburetor and then be ready to run.
He had a buddy tell him that he thought the geometry looked off. I wanted to pull the valley pan too, to see if the cam was dry. It’s always a little nerve racking to break in a new mystery cam.
Well that was a teaser lol no fire in the hole 😂 thank God you put them stainless headers in the dumpster they would have cooked those aluminum heads and done all kinds of bad things.
She lives next time!
What is the purpose behind marking every 90 degrees on the balancer? Just for reference for lashing valves?
Yes sir. I use the old mopar chart that requires you to turn every 90 degrees.
Love that Charger! What is that, F7 or F8 green?
He kept calling it Sherwood I believe
Hi Joe, advice is needed, what is your preferred pre 73 440 motor mounts for the street. I have a 72 440 magnum Charger SE . I returned C.I.'s part number MM7902 due to bad quality.(99 bucks). Hate to spend (300 bucks) on poly loc's. Is there a mod for the stock mount(12 bucks). Also in your experience how much of a nightmare will it be to swap the drivers side? 440 power steering, power brakes and AC in my 72's engine bay.
The 440 source ones seemed pretty decent. You can run the polys on the street as well. The transdapt brand failed on the 65 coronet I did last summer. The passenger side had ripped in half. That’s the one that usually doesn’t! As for difficulty, I would disconnect both sides and Jack up as high as you can under the pan with a wide block of wood. It should be pretty open. Bolts may be a little tough to loosen.
I could swear that at the beginning of this video , you said something to the effect of " Big Mike had this engine built " ? I hope he didnt pay a whole lot for the rebuild ....cause so far it appears to be a sh*t show ! I had high hopes for the shorty , block hugger headers , mainly due to the effort needed to swap out a starter ....but even those , as simple as they should be .....failed miserably . Then the rockers ? I'm hoping there are no wieid noises when the thing eventually fires . I'm feeling pretty bad for Mike right now . Thankfully you're cheerily helping get things right . Best of luck to both of you ....and the car .
Thanks brother. The Short block was assembled by a known machine shop. The top end was done by others 😂
I bet ebay rockers. My 1.6 / actually 1..42 ebay rockers. Had geometry way off they Needed a pile of rocker shaft spacers . Just to get 1.48 ratio from 1.6 china crap.
Want to buy them ? Never used . 😂 You said. You like AED carb. But i heard AFB. 😂
Haha! Very possible
Should've used shumacher headers
I’m certain those would have been nice. Also, tti would be my first choice. Big Mike got these for less than $50 and is glad to use them. Lol
All that work and than click click 🤔
You’ll have to stay tuned! We have Fire and Water next time 😂
Those torque converter bolts do not look to be the correct ones. They likely would hit the dust cover once it is installed.
Thanks brother. They were aftermarket. The heads were slightly thicker, but they cleared everything underneath. I don’t think he will run a dust cover.
OK NP. I ran ARP bolts on my PTC converter and still had to clearance the dust cover. Seems like it is the little stuff that gets 'ya!
@@rboynton8671 absolutely! I don’t usually do covers on my race cars, so I can check converter bolts. Also I have transmissions in and out so much it’d be another step 😂
