Your practical approach, and lack of desire to make it asceticly perfect keep me coming back for more.

LEE GET THE LIFT OFF THE PINCH WELDS! On a unibody that’s perfect but on a full frame vehicle put it on the frame! I love your content and don’t want to see you get hurt! Putting the lift on the cab instead of frame puts the weight of the whole vehicle on the six to eight cab bolts!
I know right! I had to stop watching the first vid because of that. I have a feeling this is on purpose, i have only watched this series and i have the feeling this channel is a cringe channel. There is no way he cant see the body bending as it is very clear on camera and why else would he take a rare version of an extremely common truck and replace the v10 when he could have spent a lot less time and money building the v10 to make more power than the hellcat or bought a base truck and built it with the hellcat and then buy the body parts.

You can very easily shim that sway bar down .250 or .375 with a piece of steel and some longer bolts and it won't effect a darn thing other than adding some clearance.
I really enjoyed this video, seeing how much room was made removing all that old stuff and adding all the new stuff was awesome. The exhaust work is priceless and the fuel one aswell. Well done!
One of the best paced, most informative build videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. And I have seen a lot. Never saying more words than needed but explaining everything.
dude paid 12k for a special edition truck just to destroy it. could of got a lower trim truck for from that era for less then half that. dude deff aint the brightest bulb in the pack.
Yes, also, the sway bar can and will “bow” under hard cornering and will almost definitely hit the filter. Even 1/4” plates between the sway bar mounts and the frame will be enough.
22:48. Put a spacer under the sway bar mounts and use longer bolts to mount it to the frame. From the looks of it, I'd use at least 1/4", but 1/2" or more would be better. The sway bar's rubber bushings will flex. You could get some poly bushings to minimize flex. With the torque produced by the engine, the motor mounts will also deflect. They will certainly contact, possibly ripping off the filter mount or puncturing the filter. There are 3 very small bolts securing the filter adapter to the block. Do you want to bet your whole build on the parts not contacting? It's too easy to remedy.
he really is. the amount of "ooooh no shit" and "damn thats slick" that i say outloud while watching goes up every new episode. my father and I are huge fans for life.
No. He ruined the truck. He should've kept the v10, rebuilt it, added turbos or a supercharger, and put MORE power into it. All he did was remove a iconic engine from that truck.
I love how you're making everything look like factory. But I especially love how you hooked up the gas filler,that right there is flipping awesome. But to bad you couldn't put the running lights back in the from bumper and put a piece of metal under the coolers to guide the air up across the coolers. KICK ASS BUILD, keep up the fantastic work and God Bless you guys and your families. ✌️😊👍P.S. I would love to buy that gray Hellcat off you.
Question: Why didn't you reuse the factory fuel tank and just replace the fuel pumps for the Demon ones? I think it would have saved you some time in fabrication and not having to buy and install a different fuel tank that could be prone to punctures in the event of a rear end collision
Either 1, pumps wouldn’t fit would have to cut up an old fuel tank.. not ideal, or 2 he’s planing on weight reducing and isn’t wanting a 33 gallon tank
I’m going crazy over this build. I have the same truck, but I couldn’t afford to do what you’re doing, but it is awesome watching you make history with my favorite truck ever made. Good luck and God bless.
Im picky. And a purist. However, this is absolutely the best build ever. He took the V10 out, and is literally tripling the venom. There will be an obvious sound upgrade. Handling and breaking upgrades too. I would have gone with a built 8HP70. Other than that, it's just amazing how many levels above other makes these Mopars are. There's levels to everything.
A good video to show how you can install an engine and appropriate systems where they weren't intended to be installed. It is looking good. I'm waiting for part 3 already! This is a cool series.
Rebuilding a Demon, then buying a SRT truck to turn in into a Demon truck while throwing the SRT engine into the Nissan. Good time to be part of this channel.

Let’s be honest Lee, you’re never pulling any of those parts off to “tidy them up” 😀 what’s done is done. Loving this build. My favourite channel at the moment 😀
Well you see, the guys at the shop who’ve watched me obsessively dig through bolts to find two perfectly matching ones would beg to differ 😂 Burned up paint? No problem… a bracket that no one will even see being half raw? ABSOLUTELY NOT
@@LeeC looking forward to part 3. Love the ingenuity in resolving those “minor issues” but no more safety squints please 🙏 I want this channel to thrive and if you’re in hospital it won’t help 😀
@@LeeC All the Plaid motors(3) and I`m betting all 5 battery modules(maybe a 6th module) would fit with ease under there... imagine a 1200bhp SRT10 truck...
I would put some spacers on the sway bar mounts to drop the the sway bar a tiny bit. My 1/8 to 1/4 inch to be extra safe especially when the motor starts to rock in its mounts. Just an idea 😊.
I swear… production wise your videos are giving me like the T.V. Show TRUCKIN vibes but waaayyyy better and hilarious entertaining and educating. Love to see fabrication and shoving motors that don’t come in the wha ever vehicles originally. Keep em coming. I’m subbed and glad I found your channel.
Hey Lee, Quick tip on how to straighten Radiators, Heat Exchangers etc. cut some decking boards or similar wood, put on both sides and use C-Clamps. They will go right back to perfectly straight and no fins will be damaged… 👍
You sir have the most Faith I've ever seen someone have lifting a truck by the pinch welds I get that it's rust free but so are new trucks you're a maniac
This is awesome, never seen your channel before this build but got me hooked! Cant wait to see this thing drive on modern power, In my opinion best looking truck along with the (ford lighting) of the 2000s
On the sway bar, you could do some simple spacers to drop the mounting brackets down some to give more filter clearance. The engine moving may cause it to contact
Couple of things. First unless the motor is hard mounted without any rubber bushings that oil filter will most likely make contact with the sway bar. Second I’m a big fan of ditching the brake boater for a hydroboost system, so much better and it frees up a lot of space and gives you more clearance with the valve cover.
Wow I’m glad I found this (march 30th 2024) cause you built really good and so much stuffs I’ve ever seen! Please drop part 3 whenever u can I want to see you keep going 😮
For the sway bar, make a 1/4 inch or so rectangle spacer with holes for the bolt holes. That will help if sway bar bushings collapse lil bit, in which they will squishlil already when set on ground and might be touching oil filter..
Favorite build! This is amazing. I’m trying to get my hands on a viper motor myself. I want to swap it into my 2020 dodge Durango GT. lol. It would be the first Durango GT Viper ever
This was literally my dream truck when i was younger. We didn't have no crap trx we had the good ole srt 10 😂😂😂 hell. I still might try to buy one of these
Basic? This is the first time watching one of your full length vids. I thought the titles were clickbait XD. Keep up the amazing work, always love to learn more about cars and mechanical work. You and your team are killing it!
Personally I wish u would have left the V10 in this truck and got the same truck but with the V8 5.7 in it but the progress is going very good, good job
dont understand why dude wanted to tear apart a special edition truck. should of just got a base model or lower trim model and did it wpuld of saved the 12k he spent in this. stupid if u ask me but then again guy is lift the truck from the pinch welds and not the frame 😂 so im not suprised
@@maxaddicks1743your whining is much more annoying than the demon he’s throwin in there. He swapped the viper v10 into a 240sx. There’s still a decent amount of SRT-10’s around, It’s not that big of a deal. stop crying all over the comment section

Exactly what I was going to say
Why didn't I think of that
I immediately thought of that, 0.250 is all he really needs
Dude... you REALLY need to position your lift arms onto the frame of the truck. That is wild that youre lifting it by the cab
For real.
The oil filter clearance would keep me up at night. Could make a set of swaybar spacers/shims with some scrap metal.

The engine moves so that oil filter is going to hit. Just make some 3/4 sway bar drop brackets itl take 10min
Yes, also, the sway bar can and will “bow” under hard cornering and will almost definitely hit the filter. Even 1/4” plates between the sway bar mounts and the frame will be enough.
