I have a few questions that I hope you guys doing the 5.7l swap can help me with! I have a '85 D150 (pic attached) that I am considering doing a 5.7l swap to. Is it possible to buy just an intake to run a carb on these motors? Do you have to run the coil packs on these or would a crank trigger MSD type setup work? Is the 5.7 buildable to a 6.1 or more? Are there stroker kits available? I found a really cheap shortblock and a pair of heads seperately that I was thinking of getting but I am unsure as to how readily avail. parts to rebuild these motors are. Nothing was listed on Mopar.com but I haven't checked with a dealer yet. I have done several searches on the internet with no luck! I am a CNC Programmer/Machinist so I am pretty sure I can make brackets, pulleys and even an intake if I have to but I am concerned with big parts like the pistons, rings, rods, bearings and crank! thanks for any help!
