    4l80 behind G3

    Side by side it is not that much bigger than the 727 width wise, it is just the length of it. There is a ton of room around the trans in the tunnel.

    4l80 behind G3

    It takes more than a little cutting to get a 4l80e in an a-body. Jim, the fab guy that did mine, started out using a 727/plastic 2G HEMI block and a motor/mid plate. He positioned the trans using the oe mount/cross member. Mocked the motor up off of it, mounting the motor/mid plate. Pulled the...

    4l80 behind G3

    Have heard nothing but great things about Jake. I have a trans buddy that was going to build mine, but seeing as how I am tossing around the idea of a trans brake from Jake that sort of rules my buddy out, last I checked he does not sell the brake valve body by itself. I did not know that the...

    4l80 behind G3

    Our Dart is set up for a 4l80. You will need to build a new tunnel if you want the trans to sit in the factory spot. Going to need to pretty much remove the torsion bar cross member just inboard of the torsion bars. With the way ours was done the throttle even needed to be tweaked a bit to clear...

    426 Hemi or 5.7 Hemi for Duster

    Not gonna argue with either one of you......So what you are saying is the HEMI was available in the 68 & 69 Valiants I have owned? Was available in the 69 Dart I owned? As well as all the 70 & 71's? First I have ever heard of a HEMI Valiant....Granted, I was only born in 66 but I do not think...

    426 Hemi or 5.7 Hemi for Duster

    Really? Came in Jeeps, pick up trucks station wagons? Never seen a CJ with a factory HEMI, nor an old Dodge pick up. Pretty sure the old Belvedere wagon we had it was not an option either....are you still lost? If they were so popular back then how come they are so rare and hard to find?? If...

    426 Hemi or 5.7 Hemi for Duster

    Gen 2 for me. Funds permitted it will be what goes in the Dart some year. No arguing that the "new" HEMI is a good motor but for me Mopar slaughtered the mystique of a HEMI by putting it in damn near every vehicle they make.

    Getting hemi 5.7 to 500hp pump gas

    My logic tells me the more driveable the better. Build a reasonable motor with decent compression, keep the boost low when on pump gas......not going to hook up on the street when you start talking higher hp anyways....track day gets here give it some octane & turn the boost up. Funds permitting...

    Getting hemi 5.7 to 500hp pump gas

    So using your logic this is not a muscle car....Would take this type of build over a G3 HEMI any day....mike duster Atco - YouTube Turbos are a way to have your cake and it eat it too. Ridiculous amount of power when the go pedal is pushed yet reasonable manners when it is not. But to each his...

    what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

    seem to remember the 4500 being a truck trans with a granny gear, something like 5 or 6 to 1 low gear......and being a pig when it comes to weight......pretty sure it is close to 200 pounds.....might want to google it.

    what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

    from what I remember the t-56's have a different length input shaft. QT does offer, if i remember right, a bellhousing to use any, GM/Ford or Viper t56. sad to say, in the long run it very well might be cheaper to get a new t-56 Magnum from any retailer as the price is fixed on them I believe...

    what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

    would stay away from a t5. while they can be made to handle abuse why not start with something more suited? there was a member here, believe he is a younger guy from Canada that swapped one into his a-body and was not real thrilled with it. His screen name is a bit odd.......

    what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

    4l80e will also fit, just call Lakewood/Quicktime and talk to them about an adapter......

    what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

    Spoke with Lakewood/Quicktime the other day and was told they can build an adapter for damn near anything. As long as they have a plate for the motor, which they do for a 3g HEMI they can pretty much put any trans behind it. As to the 727 they survive behind 800 hp 2g HEMIS......your 5.7 will be...

    Insurance and swaps.

    I have a feeling he has not picked up the phone yet and called them. The only trouble I had with them was when I insured a car when we lived in AZ. They asked about mileage and I said 6k a year. I ended up on the phone with an underwriter explaining to him that I was able to use the car year...

    Insurance and swaps.

    do not just go by what you think the interpenetration is, call them. one thing they will not cover is a Cobra replica. One thing they will not cover, unless you buy the coverage is damage that occurs while racing the car. Like I said, mine has a full cage and they covered it. They know about the...

    Insurance and swaps.

    i have hagerty, they will allow you to adjust the policy as you see fit. they will insure it even if it is a non-running vehicle. it is covered even if it gets damaged loading/unloading off the trailer. the rates are very reasonable, especially given the 0 deductible....

    Insurance and swaps.

    as to the insurance get collectors insurance. have to have a policy on a daily driver to get it. as to the CA. question the simple answer would be not to move there. i know that when they rolled out the IM test in AZ it was not a big deal, they went off the year of the car not the motor. in...
