68 Valiant Hellcat Swap

Love it!, I’m in the same boat, I’m pro touring a 70 cuda with a hellcat crate motor,thank god the e body has a lot more room in the engine bay! My car is still at the body shop, so I’ve been sourcing parts for the last 6 months waiting to get it back and start the thrashing, couple questions, so are you guys using the factory hellcat intercooler,pump,lines & expansion tank?, also, does Be cool make that radiator specific for the hellcat motor?, and how does that milodon oil pan work? I’ve heard a lot of guys have problems with them leaking, and are using the Stef’s oil pan?, thanks for any help, I know you guys are busy trying to solve all these problems that pop up with these projects, I’ve talked to so many people on these swaps, and it seems I get all diff. Answers, and it seems half have never worked on “ their” cars, well I can’t afford to have someone build my car, so it’s all on me, thanks again

Yep! Sadly I am in same boat, I am doing it myself as well. My only real point of reference is my own toil and trouble. To your point at last car show found a Mopar with modern Hemi in it, located the owner thinking to myself finally I can get some answers....... Nope, all he could do was shrug and reply to the question with "I dunno I just wrote a check". Arghh. I too have a couple of E bodies as well as my A body that has the build thread on here. I am running both Be cool radiator in the Cuda and a Griffin in the Demon. I like both. And I utilized a Dakota Digital dash after much frustration on the Gen 3. Problem solved. I have used as much of the plumbing as possible for cost savings including the monster booster and master cylinder. I figure once I am up and running I can switch it out later. I am limited on funds so have to be choosy on where I spend the cash. I hate the booster!
