Hey Moparts
Well I took a look at your site. I luv cars, any thing Mopar especially with a Hemi and like many of the V6 guys always wanted to make it a bit faster.

So I thought I stop by an share my story. I saw a bunch of your guys at Carlisle when I was on the Dodge showcase
http://youtu.be/NqxkDHOoebQ
and thought I share my story here too!
Just to provide some context this is the worlds first and only 6.1 SRT Hemi Prowler

Think a SRT 6.1 at about 2850Lbs

My car was featured at this years Chrysler nationals and Modern mopar. so you may have seen it.
My site is www.facebook.com/hemiprowler

Backstory
I had a Prowler for over 12 Years. Back in the day the 3.5 was pretty nice but also wanted it to be a bit more of a modern hot rod. With the modern day Hemi decided to make a move.

Now doing this swap in a Prowler is no easy task. Its pretty much a custom build took over 12 months and involves a ton of fabication, electronics and patience to make it all work. The heart of the Hemi has a bolt on Trans and the prowler Tran set up is in the rear.

The build is pretty detailed and the great folks over at Allpar put a nice article together below that walks through all of the key details of the project.

SRT Prowler Project: Plymouth with 6.1 Hemi V8 Engine

I will put some of the key build picts below and look foward to seeing my fellow mopars on the street.

You can see all of the videos and details also on

Pictured here is our custom bell-housing engine adapter to adapt the 6.1 Hemi engine to accept the prowler style drive shaft an rear trans. The rear engine mount is also integrated into the bell-housing.

Handbuilt headers and exhaust


Custom shaker hood from a Challenger

The first step was a custom trim ring.
On the picture below you will see a aluminum ring around the shaker. This set the positioning and build up area that the shaker with come through from the engine.


Then using tape the team laid out the build up outline design form the custom aluminum piece to be built, formed and attached to the hood. As you can see its slopes only leaving the top of the shaker sticking through. Very creative. See side view

This is what the Prowler has needed all along, a V8.
Nice job converting it, and I am sure the 6.1 is up to the task.
Although the shaker appears to be very well done, and a lot of hard work, it wouldn't be my choice, for this car .Each to his own though.
Congrats on a very cool car.

Shaker is purpose built think about this the cars engine bay is about 40% smaller than the SRT its designed for. the grill, side panels and shaker all work together to reduce temps and allow this car to work. All functional performance. Every single mod you see has a purpose. Trying to keep a car this small cool is not easy task. We reduced temps over 25% with the shaker and there is no room for much more under the hood. Pulls cold air direct to the engine. AFR version required no air box! In person it also looks way cool!! 370 Hemi in your face
dare to compare

Wanted to take the time to thank everyone on here for your feedback and wish you a happy new year!

2013 was an epic year for the Hemi prowler.
www.facebook.com/hemiprowler
We went from a mere total idea/concept (top) to a proven street machine bottom. From the race track to 100+ car shows events we made the dream a reality!

To recap the journey We created a 2013 year end recap blog on the prowler site.
Look forward to catching up with everyone in the new year! Feel free to Check it out below!!!

Looks cool!

As others have said, not sure about the shaker though.
It doesn't flow with the lines of the car to me, but to each his own.

A V8 is what Prowlers were missing all along.

A buddy of mine did a 5.7 Hemi conversion in a Prowler about 8 or 9 years ago on a car from Texas.

The issues he had were computer ones, took one computer to run the 5.7 Hemi and the original Prowler one to run the trans (original rear transaxle).

One of the other problems was using the original driveshaft. It didn't like getting the power of a 5.7 put to it under heavy load.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
