I really did not to hear that Damn I had to cut the rear window out.

Need to locate a rear window gasket for a 66 Valiant 2 door post car

Absolutely the best improvement for my 5.7. It was built in 2007 when no parts were available and I chose to put a carb on it. This engine does not like a carb, driveability issues were always a problem. The Atomic has been fantastic on it. Definitely put it with the return line and a quality...

you cant just swap the lifters. the lifter plastic retainer that keeps the lifters in place and from rotating has different size hole for the mds lifters. Get the retainers from a 04/05 pickup, these years had no mds on the 5.7, also get the mds solenoid plugs from the same. But really no...

MSD 6013 Hemi 6 controller is the one I went with on mine. Easy set up and runs like a top.

This is a definate. I have one of the first Hemi swaps to be done. Yes purchase the TTI mounts, they are worth the money. They will position the engine in the bay properly. You can use a 727, but to get the transmission mount to bolt in you will have to flatten the body to firewall seam. When...

nice work, Mine came out fantastic. I'm very glad I did it.

fuel may be boiling in the bowls. You may have to block the heat risers from the heads to the intake manifold. Mine did a similar thing till I plugged those. Good luck.

I also am just about done with mine. MSD Ignition and a carb. Sweet deal, I should be ready to turn the key this week end. '68 Fastback, 5.7, 727, 8 3/4.

I'm putting a 5.7 in a Barracuda. What I need is some input of how to feed it. Going to a fuel cell is out of the question, and I would prefer not to sump the original tank. My dart has the tank sumped and I dont want to see that under the Barracuda. Electric pump is the only solution, so where...

Wasn't quite sure I liked the sub-lime Hemi at first, but the more I looked the more I liked. Sure wish I had a stand for my car like that on. Sure would make it easier to do some of the repairs. Thanks for the post. Let's keep the Hemi alive.

I'm not trying to justify doing this swap, it will just be cool as hell. I already have a Dart Sport with a 360. It runs 12.70's all day, and I could drive it to the track. Sometimes in the midlife a fellow just needs a good challenge. As for the piston design, they are all slight dome pistons.

What does the exhaust smell like? Coolant when it burns has a very sweet very different smell. Oil smoke has its own, easy to identify. You have condensation in the system. It is a byproduct of the combustion. Your exhaust system is not evaporating it, so it comes out the tailpipe. Leave it alone.

It takes a three jaw puller to get the balancer off. A strong but small one. Most modern engines have this style, it is one less process to put a piece thru if you don't drill the holes. There are indents for the puller legs on the inner hub. And yes that motor took on some water. Check the...
