So I think I've finally decided I want to do a 3g hemi swap in my 67 Dart, though it will be some time in the future before I have the money to put all the parts together. After looking around some I noticed that there really isn't much info out there about taking apart these new hemis for rebuilds or upgrades. I saw the Horsepower TV episode a while back where they did the stock rebuild with the 4 bbl throttle body injection setup, but I don't have it recorded anymore and didn't want to pay $2 to download a copy of it. That being said, I'm sure there are several people on this site that have done plenty of work on the new hemi, so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to start up a thread on doing a full teardown and rebuild of a new hemi complete with all the pictures and parts list along the way. I have heard that the new engines mainly use O rings to seal, so you don't necessarily need a full gasket kit like with older engines since you can potentially reuse the O rings, but I'd love to see some pictures with my own eyes to confirm all this stuff before buying an engine and taking it apart just to find out I need to track down some obscure gasket that no one mentions. I'm sure a lot of people out there would be interested in seeing a well documented build of one of these for their own projects, so would anyone with some experience be willing to step up and provide a guide or point me in the direction of one that I have missed?
