They really are 99% bolt in now.

I'm using off the shelf headers, oilpan and mounts. The rest of the hardware is pretty straight forward. Just using an old lakewood SB bell housing for the trans with a Mopar 10.5" flywheel for the Hemi.

My swap is easier than most because I built the car to take EFI and big power years ago. I've already got a 1/2 Feed and return fuel system in stainless hardline and a Painless wiring harness for easy hook up.

My motorbuild will be as follows:





6.1 Based motor (I've already got a .030 6.1 block and several 6.1 cranks)

Either a forged 6.1 or a forged 7.0. If I go 6.1 I'll run it with my 64cc eagles for 10:1 and then swap to a stock big chamber apache for 9:1 later and throw a 3.6LC Kenne Bell on. Instant 800+rwhp on pump fuel.

5.7 Eagle heads ported by GTP here in Houston (360 cfm at .500)

Ported 6.1 intake by GTP.

FAST XFI with 92mm TB a walboro pump/surge tank

Mopar SRT4 stage 1 or 2 injectors

TTI 1 7/8 headers back to a 2.5" H-pipe Exhaust (Small, I know)

23 spline 833 with a Centerforce DF and a 3.54 Dana 60. No plans for an OD unit or anything special.

I'd be shooting for at least 500rwhp from an N/A 6.1 (374) or about 600rwhp from a 426 on pump fuel.
