Great build. I'm doing a 6.1 into a s series which has been going on for a while but getting some more momentum now.... Are you running the mildon 3100 pan? It looks a bit deeper than mine as I was hoping to get the rack in without slicing a chunk out of it. Also do you know if the efi source...

Been a while since posting, new house, shed and relocation to the family farm. Back into the val now. Few more updated photos. All going well.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can reccomend some connecting rods and pistons for a 6.1 hemi. I have a new crate engine that will be stripped down, inspected for straightness and put back together. May chase some extra HP in future with NOS or forced induction so would like to go forged rods and...

That is my plan. Run a old style volt regulator and the heavy charge cable back to the starter. Battery will be in the boot. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the replies guys. Will try and chase up the specs but as you say the smaller 130 amps will be "ample" enough for my purposes. Thanks

Just wondering if anyone out there knows the difference between the 2005 -2006 jeep 6.1 hemi alternator ( P# 421000-0360 ) and the 2007 - 2009 unit ( P# 421000-0660 ) Ready to get one for the conversion and looks like the older one is a little cheaper and can't see any other differences? Any...

Rat Patrol, I have one and it looks like it should fit no worries. I am no using it as when modifying my k frame made it so I could use the stock filter so if you want one PM me. Cheers Graeme

Well I thought I had it right with my trans/pinion angle but maybe not? Am 3 degree down on trans and 3 degree down on pinion. Reset factory leafs no caltracs or bars and about 450 hp. I have banked on about 6 degree of pinion rotation on hard acceleration to be at zero? Too much? Bring it...

thanks.

Been a while since updating so will be a bit in here. It is off to get panelled next week and back for wiring and start up. Off to painters before christmas hopefully. Doubler plates and new spring hangers in. URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/715/img0013zwf.jpg/][/URL] Engine...

Joe, good advise there. I will eventually go down the path of boosting or stroking motor, a way off at this stage. Best bet just to refit main bolts to bottom end ( had to pull a couple of main bolts for the pic up swap ) and give it a hiding for a while. I got some ARP's for the mains and...

Hi, just chasing anyone's experience on forged pistons and rods for a 2008 6.1 ( it's a new crate , 0 K's ) Got my project at the painters and thought I would get busy. Don't want to send to the machine shop just a simple strip, measure and replace. So keep crank, replace rods with H beams or...

Boony, I have run with the 727 which puts the starter on the other side away from the steering column, the starter is still very close to the torsion bars so went with a adjustable starter. Pricey they are but offer a bit of adjustment, dont think they would help you in this instance. Those...

Thanks guys. Enjoying the process at the moment. Marty, the engineer I have has been great. He came out, I showed him some sketches, he made changes which were warranted and then I went ahead. I think it is a good process as he is fully understanding of what I am trying to achieve and as am of...

Well got the day off so got a bit done. TIG'd up doubler plate for rear spring and fitted spring box. Fitted floor cross brace and put in a relief for the fuel lines. Braced up the upper control arms and fixed up some factory cocky @#$%. Made up plates for the lower control arms. Off to get...
