1970 amc javelin hemi swap

hey everyone not too many amc sites that allow non amc powered engines so figured this may be a good spot . i bought the car as a roller/shell and was originally planning on doing a turbo ls but once i got the motor in and mocked up it just didnt feel right so i sold the ls and found a built hemi 2013 5.7/345 stroked to 370 , fully forged , arp mains and head studs , hellcat lifters , custom blower cam , 2.9 whipple with 2.75 pulley . 4l80e with reid bellhousing , ck performance oil pump housing and adapter , jw flex plate and crank spacer , fti triple disk converter . dana 60 35 spline rear true trac lsd , 3.55 gears with custom built 4 link and double adjustable viking coilovers , front is control freaks ifs kit with viking double adjustable coilovers . tires are 275/40/17 front and 285/40/17 rear

always liked the javelins---excellent racing history.....

My neighbor as a kid had a Mark Donahue Javelin and would smoke the tires just for fun. AMC torque was pretty good back in the day!

Sweet build...congrats on NOT going LS...

I love when people post a picture build. You did good.

I actually considered doing this same swap to my 69 390 4 speed AMX. I posted a thread here on Moparts,stating that I was getting fustrated trying to find a 390 engine for my car,and was considering putting the 5.7 Hemi I had just purchased in the car. A fellow Moparts member offered to sell me a complete running 68 390 engine for my car,so I bought it from him. I will be following your thread to see how things may have been had I gone that route! Cool project!

Gonna be a sharp car! Nice job!

I had a bud up in meeeechigan some years back that was a die hard AMC fan ! I used to bust his stones by razzing him in a friendly way and he would come back calling his Javelin a JavelFINE !

Neat car ..,interesting project

Well I was going to try and keep factory back seat but just didn't work out . Sticking with just a roll bar since it won't see much track time and didn't want to worry about full cage driving around town.
also rolled the car to clean up the garage a little

Thats bad ass, I love it! Keep up the progress. And you are right about the AMC crowd, they can be some of the most dedicated purists......

Love those Cars, My Uncle Tony left me a 68 AMX that I want to work on in the future ,
Keep us posted

(Xs-9513x powermaster) I could not clear an older 5.2 /5.9 mini starter and did not want to try and pull headers off so went this route . made a new (pics show ones that comes with starter)adapter so I could spin the solenoid to clear the header . I did have to remove the 2 big bolt boss on the block but running a 4l80e so no block to trans adapter
