    71 Swinger- SBP 8 3/4, No Cutting & Cragars- Possible?

    Hoping to use the 15x8" Cragars with 4.25" backspacing. I can live with the 4.125" BS 15x7" pieces if need be, but would prefer the 8's... Is this doable without cutting the lips?

    Gen III Hemi Swap Questions

    So, here's your quandary...the Eagle motor is 390-ish net HP right out of the box, so it's not far off your target. However, it's VVT, so either you use Hotwire Auto or Modern Muscle to control the electronics and keep the VVT functional and live with the DBW throttle body, or you give up some...

    6.1 Valve spring failure

    Nope. Just stating where I learned it from. Now that I know it (and I ain't an oldtimer yet) I pass it on. One day I WILL be the "Oldtimer" passing on knowledge all but lost to a generation who can't repair anything without a scanner or the "proper" tool. "Necessity is the Mother of Invention!"...

    6.1 Valve spring failure

    Oldtimers used to feed small cotton rope into the spark plug hole and run the piston up. I was surprised at how effective it was...

    6.2 hellcat crate motor

    But you gotta admit, that 6.2 was designed to be daily driver in 100* heat and warranty friendly. Not to say the average joe can't build that, but someone else has already done thousands of hours of R&D and testing to be sure...

    Gas Monkey garage Hemi swap

    I think it was an old episode of "Overhaulin'" that did a GenIII Hemi in a Challenger. At least they didn't come out of it looking like a monkey fornicating with a football! You watch some of these guys and can't help but look at your TV and say "You're the reason siblings shouldn't mate!"...

    It's kinda bizarre to think that there's a generation growing up who doesn't know what Spam is, eh Rusty? My kids even have no clue!

    6.1 cam swap. Big deal?

    As far as I know, as it is a roller cam, just a light coating of oil so nothing is dry should suffice...

    EFI 5.7 swap questions

    FTR, if you're planning to boost this thing anyways, I would plan your build that way from the get-go. No point in dropping $ on custom headers, for instance, to then be turning around later and starting again. There're some great turbo builds here already to get you started!
