Re: HEMI 5.7 accessories

Seems to me you have to change the entire front cover on the engine to switch over to a truck style setup.

Re: 3rdGen hemi into a body questions

Well I am back for round 2 with a 72 duster and a low mileage 5.7. The msd and carb is the only way to go as far as I am concerned. Hey there 392 where did you score an intake for 300? I used the mopar performance flexplate but this time I might just use the stock one and cut off the ring gear. Just...

Re: 3rdGen hemi into a body questions

Yep these guys are correct, but If I remember right the Hemi block has an additional port that has a plug in it for a mechanical gauge just in case you are still using the computer, and also the front cover has a hole that is threaded for another temp sending unit. This was the case on my 5.7 conver...

Thats what I got on mine. Looks like its gonna work accept the crank sensor is different, mine has the new smaller style and the harness came with the older and bigger weather pack adapter. I might just swap out the crank sensors if I can find one.

exhaust for a 5.7 to an e body swap

Is there a stock exhaust manifold that fits into an ebody with a 5.7? I have heard that jeep manifolds work but have not confirmed yet.

mds swap

Do I need to change all the lifters when I change to a non mds because of the lifter size being different on the guides? If so any leads on a complete swap kit? block off plates, lifters, gaskets, guides and anything else there is .

new swap

You are right that swap should be pretty easy but how about a swap into a v-6 charger or magnum. Has anyone attempted that yet. Just to save a few more $$$$$

yes street and performance harness and factory computer. This seems the cheapest way to at least get this thing going without too much headache. Still looks to be around $3000 even after you have a motor and transmission secure. But thats figuring a harness, oil pan, motor plates, and fuel system an...

Motor and car in the same garage now. Now just wondering how much is different on a 2006 than an older one. And how much will change over from a 6.1. From what I was told the motor came out of a 2006 charger its a 5.7 but it has upgraded ignition with no plug wires. Looks like we are gonna use the s...
