update for jrat dart/hemi
jrat said
yeah mine has lots of room thinking of building under hood scoops and inlets in front of hood going through it so all you see is inlets. front of hood has a center section that is angled downward one inlet per side. That will be my cold air intake system, just working on idea now. I see you got a 6.1 nice but to pricey for me, love the way that engine looks very clean. yes the vette filter has what you need return line, that way you can use most any pump that will meet your requirements. good luck keep us up dated.
:---) No man, i dont have a 6.1. At one pint i was considering a 6.1, it was my dream engine, but ive decided to go with a 5.7. When i was thinking about a 6.1, i cut and pasted one onto a pic of my enginebay and photo shopped it just to see what it would look like. If ya look close you can tell. The 6.1 is really waaay to much motor for my lil 64 dart convertible. Every time i told someone i was putting a 6.1 in my car they always asked me about a roll bar. I refuse to put a roll bar in my convertible, so my thinking changed (probably for the best) back to a 5.7. I bought a locked up 5.7 off ebay for a few hundred bucks so i could use it to trial fit things into my dart. It came out of a 04 ram, i tore it down to see what was locked up, it had two bokren rods and after getting it cleaned up at shop, looks like itll need to be bored abit to even be able to be used. Sense i want to stick with 5.7ltrs, im just gonna use it to mock up things, which is the reason i bought it. When im ready for a engine, im gonna just buy a new 5.7 from a dealer or S&P. Ive grown tolike the trucks intake, but while trial fitting the hemi into my enginebay i noticed its gonna be real close for hood clearance. The truck hemis throttle body sits high. :sad1: I wont know if its gonna clear until i put a hood on (later this week).
Sorry for the confussion on the 6.1 pic in my garage, i didnt even know that was still in there. I had to laugh when you said i had a 6.1, becuase i had fogotten about it. the 6.1 is nice, but i think ill be happy with the 5.7 in the long run. I plan on taking my car on some fun road trips (like the hot rod power tour) and the 5.7s better gas milage over the 6.1s will make those trips less costly. When i was thinking of a 6.1 i had these fantasies of hanging with new corvettes, now, i just want my car on the road. I still have a few years until my car is road worthy, but i dream about that day everday.
I got some interesting mods i want to do to my car that i think will give it a factory feel, which is what im shooting for now.
keep us updated on your car, its gonna be awsome.
