What a crazy 3 days this has been. I have been trying to put a CSX engine into my GLH-S. I was fucking shocked by the amount of parts that are Charger specific. Every fucking part was different for the Charger. I couldn't use any CSX parts, none of them. The intermediate shaft bracket is different.The fuel injector harness was wrong, the air box bracket was wrong, the heater pipe had to be changed. All the accessories and the mounts are different. Even the CSX water pump has a extra outlet on it that the Charger does not. What a fuckin nightmare. but I am fuckin expert now... fuck a Dodge I got it down now.... The crank did have threads. A mud wasp made a home in it and tricked me out..

So anyways it runs now and runs like shit. The sound from the ported head and manifolds give me a big ole hard on, cause I have 3" side dump with no muffler.........

Thank you everyone who helped..


Mr Shelby Mike...Thank you sir for the engine and the advice when you was ill.. Thank you very much, I owe you one...Thanks buddy!!!

damn Dodges,especially those L-bodies where nothing fits:lol: i'm glad you got her running and i'm sure that motor should run good for quite a while just make sure you have plenty of fuel to support that boost addiction:D

p.s. thanks for being there for me friend;)

we thought you knew? I didnt know you were puttng an engine into it...

I DO own an L, but its 100% N/A and will stay that way. Having no performance parts that will bolt right onto it helps me keep it stock!

Above anything, they're a real pain to work on because things are so tight. It takes me like 15 min to adjust my alternator.. and i usually draw blood before im done. lol

Maybe you could swing by the house, and maybe help me debug some issues that are still occuring from the last engine..

It is still bucking. I assume timing must be the cause of this?

bucking under what conditions? you hittin overboost?

No I have diode so its not overboost shutdown. But keep that issue in mind.


I now have a better problem. I have no power. None..

Do you know what the 4 wires go to on the positive side of the battery?

I know one is for the starter. The other dfor power to the Module and the other one is for fuse block juice, what the hell is the 4th wire for? Is there a source of data about this on the net?

Does the Dodge use fusable links? Or fuses?

without looking at my FSM, i'd say the 4th wire is for the hazard lights. Ive been looking a lot at my 93 Dakota and 71 Challenger FSMs in the area lately, and both have a wire for that.

The cars have a whole cluster of fusable links by the master cylinder/strut tower, and fuses inside.

lol, its ok. Allpar is a big and well known place, but when you go there, you cant find much. And the forums are worthless. I signed up and was the only turbo guy that knew shit.. so i was being attacked with questions. I soon lost interest.
