Pale Roader, have you seen a DOHC Mod motor out of the car? It's wider than it is long.



Yes i have.... I've been all over those things since that twisted thought entered (then exited) my head...

Wide yes, about the same as a hemi (a real hemi), but 425lbs. 320 (net) HP, wicked-efficient and the best sound ov any Detroit engine ever made... in my opinion. You should see the 5.4 DOHC out ov the vehicle... you wanna talk wiiiiiiiiiide...???

The 4.7 is a small, lightweight engine and would indeed make a fine A-body motor, or probably fit pretty well in a '30s or '40s Plymouth or Dodge. I'd say you either need to start with the entire stock wiring system and fuel tank, or else plan a different transmission and Megasquirt. That's just a guess.
Stock cams are assembled out of pieces and supply oil to the rockers. I don't know about upgrades.

I still stand by my post that (ironically) it would be cheaper and much easier to swap a Ford DOHC into an old Mopar than the Dodge one. Though again, thats not the point ov the thread.
