GenIII Hemi w/5-Speed Supra Trans?

Buschi340 said

i had the R154 behind my 340 almost 5 years and swapped 2.5 years ago the engine to a 6.1. So I can say it works. Not the superbest for drag race ( 14.00 @ 170 km/h with a stock and carbed engine- Sorry, I am metric ) but on the autobahn killer ( 250 km/h ). Thanks to the 5th gear.

I re-drilled the flywheel to the new bolt circle. That was it. Peace of cake like you guys are saying :)

So, by my calculations, you ran a 14-flat at 106mph. Your mile-an-hour is more in line with a high 12/low 13-sec 1/4, which tells me you were scratchin' for traction. What were your 60-fts like?

Are you saying you took a regular 6-bolt flywheel and had it redrilled to the 8-bolt pattern? Did you weld up the old holes? I've been wondering if this was an option. Which starter did you use?
