How hard would it be to modify the OEM throttle body to be cable driven?
That certainly is an option and I have seen engine dyno shops do this. With option #2 that would be up to the installer of the system. I do have a 5.7 OEM throttle body for sale for $50 if you want to buy it, crack it open and give it a try?
Hot Rod did this about 4 yrs ago with a factory crate engine with factory ECM. They poped open the cover and mig welded the Dyno throttle to it. They didnt seem to have any problems but it is Hot Rod. U have a PM

Chrysler sells their connectors in a pigtail form, currently not just the connector and terminals. This is one reason Painless said they were not interested in doing an factory efi swap.
Thanks for that info. Anybody have a connection at Chrysler I can contact for good prices on the pigtails?

While reading this thread I was wondering if anybody had looked into the megasquirt controller to do the job. Just a thought.

Yes, it's going in the GTX. It will be primarily a street driven/street class raced vehicle (like it is now). There is a cool event in the area called "The Flashlight Drags" that we sponsor. They advertise it as "Street racing without the jail time " To be competitive in the "Big Dawg" class you need to be able to run high 8's or low 9's in street trim in the 1/4.

Lets say I want to build a bracket motor out of one of these next year, where can I look at after market rods, pistons, and crank? Does anyone make an aluminum rod for them? Forged crank? Forged blower pistons? Mechanical cam? I run a nostalgia series, and been thinking of running 6-71 blown race motor on E85 with mechanical injection.
All the ads I look at say crank rods and pistons, but, since hardly any specifiy forged, I assume they are cast junk...And not worth my time or money. I don't want a stock replacement time bomb either. Just looking for some links that have more info than your basic BS that I keep reading over and over....And why do I need a reluctor wheel on the crank, I am thinking I don't, but figured I would ask?

I am a dealer for PWR racing engines who specialize in the Gen III Hemi's. I can get you either stock 6.1 forged, Callies, Manley or SCAT cranks as well as rods and pistons. Yes, you can get forced induction pistons or a complete rotating assembly in all the common strokes. I guess you can make your own crank trigger but why?

NS5 means "Serviced In Component Parts" So, production/service doesn't want to sell it. And that means MP needs to try harder to sell it!
