G3 Hemi A-body Swap questions.

I know that there are a few people here what have, or are currently doing a G3 Hemi swap, I have some specific questions for you guys. I may have found a good deal on a low milage 5.7L Hemi with all the accessories, trans, wiring, computers from a Ram. I know that people with FI Hemis are getting near 500HP with little in the way of mods. I am thinking of scrapping my 383 project and going with the Hemi. What I would like to do is run it with a carb. I have a SB V-8 crossmember and a SB 727 trans right now, but I have a few questions.

1. What can I run for an ignition system? I heard Fast or MSD is coming out with one, but no news yet.

2. How did you guys mount the engine? I was planning on buying the TTI mounts, since I will eventually go with their headers.

3. What about headers & manifolds? I heard that the truck manifolds don't work in A-bodies, and I am going do the intial swap with just stock components, I heard that Cherokee Hemi manifolds will swap. WHat about the SRT8 headers, will they work on a 5.7?

4. What about trans? If I keep the 727, I heard I need a new flexplate and torque converter. What about the Stock electronic Hemi trans? Has anyone attempted to swap one of these in? I am not too concerned with cutting the trans tunnel if I have to.

5. What about the alternator? Obviously, the stock regulator wont work with the late model alternator, and if I eliminate the computer, then the Hemi alternator does not have a regulator, what have you guys done?

6. Oil pan? Will the truck or car oil pan work, or do I need a $450 oil pan.

7. Last option is keeping it fuel injected, what about the computer freaking out with all those missing sensor inputs, like wheel speed, transmission, etc?


If there are any other issues, let me know.
