I would call it "Out of Orbit" since it is a Satellite. Back in Tampa during the late 80s there was a Lime green 70 Road Runner that street raced. It was the fastest car for a long time. I love these 70s in that color. Can"t wait to watch the build.

Keep it old school with a 440 so someone can afford it. You can do low 10s with a 440. Done it many times. Screw that 3 gen crap. Everyone does that make it what we did back in the day and call it flashback.

It's a wiring nightmare so make sure to tell people that it's not plug and play. Retro mod is losing its appeal unless your Uber wealthy. Which no one is anymore or like it was 4yrs ago. Countless projects here have all stopped and cars picked up and put away on the someday list. KZread channels make it look like it's a 4hr job and more like 4 weeks all day everyday. Just not realistic then guys are pissed when they bring in a car to get done and it costs a ton and it takes longer that 30min lol

Absolutely Not a problem: "MOP and GO"!!!! ( "MOP" (said as =mope or add the "e" if you need to), "and" should be in small letters. GO= because of course it will!!!) It will fit on any door or even a C pillar, You already can not forget it. Short and sweet! If it will be "streetable" a pair of the shortest 3" or 4" DELTA 40's underneath - (& no stink'n tail pipes necessary) so the acres of on-lookers around it can feel the ground shake. By the way It might be a good idea to paint it FM3 - accented in black (FM3= the most feared color in Ma's paint basket). Want to see it DONE! look at the avatar can send a few more pictures it you need them. Just to give you an idea. Mines kind of mild, no power adders just a RB Block (493 cubes), 689HP & 675FtLbs. 4.11's, and a 727! Scary what "OLD FARTS KNOW" ain't it!

1. We never said this was a budget build; 2. Used Hellcats (from wrecked cars) go for $10 to $12K (with harnesses); 3. The average cost of a 700+ HP wedge or Hemi is close to $15K and won't get us the kind of MPG that this car needs on the highway. So yes, the Hellcat is 100% the best option for this build.

I hope you bought it cheap, like under $500. Back in the day, we would crush these cars in this condition.
