so I prefer to use a cable driven throttle body on my 2005 5.7 hemi build. I have seen people use the LS 92mm throttle bodys with an adapter. Which works for me, but I'm not sure how this work electrical wise. Am I going to be getting gm plugs and splicing them into the harness or some short...

So I read through this and it seems like they are using the TTI motor mount, but 1 side needs to be modified.

So trying to decide on motor mounts. Schumacher's are out of stock and have been for a while, TTI mount says they are for v8 k member only. I have heard that the universal LS mount work but just need to re drill the holes. I was thinking of just getting a universal set and modifying it to fit...

Thanks for the well detailed information, I might have a few questions when I get to the alternator part on my car

Glad to hear that everything has worked out so far, really takes some of the worry out of it.

After I swap the 5.7 into my 71 scamp, am I still able to hook up the factory dash gauges? I would like to keep the original look of the dash. Also am i able to use the same heater core? I am in the process of getting a brand new dash in and would like to make sure I dont go buying new parts I...

I recently pulled out the windshield on my 71 scamp to replace the dash that a previous owner had cut apart to attempt at putting a modern radio in. I'm working on changing it out with a new dash I got to put an original radio back in it. I started looking into getting a new gasket for the...

Is it just the chain I should upgrade or are the sprockets part of the upgrade as well?

Yes the kit does come in standard piston size and it does still have the factory cross hatch pattern on the cylinders.

Do i need to bore my engine to put a stroker kit in it is a used 2005 5.7. I measured the bores and they are all in spec still except 2 cylinders measured .002 over the 3.917 spec. Would it be fine with just new rings or do I really need to get it bored. Kinda dont wanna spend the money to...

I heard that you need to modify the timing cover to fit the 6.1 timing cover.

When upgrading a 5.7 to a 6.1 oil pump, does it still use the 5.7 timing chain and other components or do I need to use the 6.1 components?

Well finally got the cam and and no grooves or major wear on it. Still looks to be in good shape. However I found out why this engine was in the junkyard. Spun both 5 and 7 rod bearing to the point where 5 was completely gone and 7 was barely anything left to pull out. Needless to say...

I have not gotten the used cam out yet I will keep posted on what the wear is on it when I pull it

What do I need to look for on the rollers, not worried about cam cause putting a new one in.

So when I tore down my 2005 5.7 hemi I found a couple of the pushrods to be kinda smooshed compared to some of the others. Is this from play in the rocker arm or something else.

Putting in a 727

Yes this was a junkyard engine but i am in the process of the rebuild. I got the full package with everything. The only thing I didnt get was the computer.

Ok so I need the aftermarket computer and harness, but why is it that I've read some people talking about using mad boxes with their after market computer? Do some of them not control spark or would their be a different reason

So the after market options like the mega squirt and is basically a new computer to hook up to the engine and that's all i need for controlling engine wise?

I have alot of questions that I need cleared up. I got an 05 5.7 hemi going in my 71 Scamp with a 727. I'm looking into all the wiring and stuff and it is my weakness, but I'm trying to learn/understand it. I know I need a harness but that's about it. I was looking into a mega squirt, but I...

Can some explain the megasquirts to me? Like what the difference between 1, 2,and 3 and any advantage to better more than the basic version

So will the Schumacher mounts fit with the tti headers? I thought I saw that the TTi headers had to be used with the tti mounts? Also do the mount need to be modified it looks like some of them are.

I will definitely have to look for that

Going in my 71 Scamp for a street/strip car. And I will be keeping the stock k member for now. I have both a slant 6 and v8 k member.

I'm already looking for an 05 ecu cause that's what the engine I got came out of but it was hot the day I pulled it and I forgot it. And do I need a spacer for the flex plate too I thought I read somewhere that I did. Will the after market harness just plug right into everything?

For the 5.7 swap I'm working on I still need an engine harness and the ecu. I plan to get one from the junkyard yard. anything I need to know before I do and is there anything else I might need to pull with those thing? Got a 2005 5.7 from a truck with a 727 trans. I'm not super familiar with...

Ok that's what I was hoping for

What kind of cutting are we talking here like major reconstruction or minor things just to match the hood lines

Does any one know if the dart hemi hood scoop from AAR would fit on a 71 scamp? Looking at this scoop Scoop, Barracuda/Dart, 1968, Hemi | AAR Quality Fiberglass Reproductions
