Hello Everybody, Thanks for your replies. In the end I gave up waiting to hear from them. I lucked out and managed to find something local!

Hello Everybody, Just a quick question. Has anyone dealt with Modern Muscle Extreme or are they still in business? The reason I ask is because I have tried to contact them a few times via e-mail and have not had a response. I am looking for a new 5.7 after my last one went kaboom. Living on the...

Hello Everybody, Sadly the 5.7 Hemi in my Valiant has died so I need to replace it. Unfortunately repairing it is not cost effective. So can anyone recommend a reliable supplier of 5.7 Hemi short blocks? I am after a 5.7 (obviously) with no MDS and there will be no core exchange. I am working...

Thanks I will keep it in mind. Unfortunately the newer Hemi stuff is still hard to come by in Australia.

Thanks. Good to know.

Hello Everybody, I have had a good look through the site but have only found a couple of old posts dating back to 2008! Does anyone have any recommendations for vendors re 5.7 Hemi stroker kits? There seem to be plenty out there when you search via Google but it would be good to hear peoples...

Thanks for that appreciate the info.

Awesome thank you. This makes it easier to find.

Hi Guys, Sorry about this but I have Googled and I have searched this site and have not found it. So could someone please tell me or put me onto a thread that describes where I will find the engine number stamping on my 5.7 Hemi (truck) block? Pictures would be a bonus. Appreciate the help.

You are right they are early, first year. Thanks I will look up PAC.

Thankfully I got lucky. The spring broke and a push rod was bent but nothing was sucked into the engine.

Hi Guys, I have been researching valve springs for my 5.7 Hemi and quite frankly it is doing my head in. The background is that I am running a 112-500-11 comp cam. When built we used the behive springs recommended to go with this = comp cam 26918-16. Unfortunately one of the springs broke and...

Hi Guys, Does anyone have suggestions for a good supplier of rebuilt 5.7 Hemi Heads? I would be looking to purchase from someone that does not require a core to be sent in exchange as I am in Australia and don't see my self shipping a set of old heads halfway around the world. Sadly it turns out...

Hi Teringer, no it is running standard as per when it left the factory. Although I have upgraded to discs on the front.

Hello, I have a 5.7 Hemi in my 68 Valiant using Schumacher engine mounts and the original slant 6 K member. I was told for clearance I should use a Milodon 31000 oil pan, which is what we have done. However the clearances a still very very tight and I am thinking of 'trimming' down the part of...

Thanks for the info Joe. Appreciate it if you do have a photo of it in the car. From what I have seen I think I am going to have to do something similar to what you did. Just need to work out how to do it with the column shift. LOL, The joys of working old cars.

Hello There, I have been searching the forums but have not found anything on this so I hope someone may have dealt with a similar issue. Recently installed a 5.7 Hemi into my Plymouth Valiant. Used Schumacher engine mounts and retained the original K member which used to hold the slant 6...

Hi Tasvalowna, Haven't added everything up but for me it was a no brainer. The last time I looked a re-manufactured 5.7 was costing around $2000US. Then you need to add the parts you want. Sure some of my parts were pricey but at the end of the day lot cheaper than a 426. Definitely bang for...

Well I am please to say that the car is finally on the road . It took a bit longer (don't they always) than anticipated but we got there in the end. I used a distributor conversion kit from Arrow Racing (now called Prefix Corp) and engine mounts from Schumacher Creative Services. The biggest...

Hello Everybody, Hope someone may have an idea on this. I am installing a 5.7 Hemi (truck block) into my 68 Plymouth Valiant. Going for the old school look so I have dumped the modern electronics and am using a distributor conversion kit from Arrow Racing. Which actually turns out to be a nice...

I have finally received my 5.7 Hemi block for my project. Could someone please point me in the direction of someone that sells bolts for these? Let me explain, I have the block with heads and I need to add all the external bits and pieces. The problem I have is that when I have been buying the...

Hi thanks for that. I got my gear from Jegs as it is much cheaper than the Chipkllr equipment. However Jegs don't stock anything either. Guess I might have to fabricate something.

Hello Everybody, I have a 68 Valiant that is going to get a 5.7 Hemi (pre 08 block). I am going to run it using a carb with a Mopar timing case converter to run a distributor. So can you tell me if anyone out there makes 4 hole valve covers for the 5.7 Hemi? Thanks for your help.

Thanks Cichli Dart, Wouldn't you know it I just bought an Edelbrock manifold and carb set up for the 5.7 with an MSD controller!! I really do like the old school look of the distributor, I might be tempted yet. looking at the photos the one concern that I have is that the distributor seems to...

Thanks for that Map63Vette that's sort of the conclusion that I was coming to myself. Although one option that I am considering is this http://www.shophemi.com/p-203-new-hemi-chipkillr.aspx I just need to find out if anyone has used these and how they run. Back to the forums. Thanks once again.

Hello, I am considering a 6.1 Hemi for my Valiant. However I would want it to have a carb conversion. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone that produces a complete carb conversion kit for the 6.1? Unfortunately I have only come across bits and pieces made by various companies. Any...
