    Picture of my "new HEMI swap"

    Your car looks good and you've done some exceptional work except for the wheel wells. I understand the concept and all, factory super stock and such but it's just ugly to me. John Baugman's hemi Dart with the stock non hemi Dart wheel wells looks much better to me. But it's your car and as...

    4.7 V8 swap?

    I'm doing an engine in a 1500 with a 3.7 in it. Overheated, dropped a valve seat, it's only got 46,000 miles on it.

    4.7 V8 swap?

    I don't agree that it's total junk but there are a couple reasons why it's gotten the reputation that it has. First of all the factories are running the cylinder head temperature higher in order to meet emissions requirements to get at least a 10 year service life out of an engine so that...

    4.7 V8 swap?

    I wouldn't waste my time. There is squat for aftermarket stuff and the little engine would only be a novelty at best. Besides most of the used engines are outrageuosly priced because people don't change oil in them often enough and the demand for good used engines is very high.

    10 sec 6.1 ?

    Well the 392 makes what, 525 HP? That's enough to put you into the tens in a 3100 pound car with a good chassis. I don't see why that can't be done with a 6.1. The heads are easily ported to 300 cfm's of flow at .600 lift and that would support 600 HP with the rest of the appropriate package...

    5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

    BTW Chrysler has released 5.7 and 6.1 long blocks at very reasonable prices. Hell a new 5.7 short block is only about $1800.

    5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

    It's a bad idea. You can put the same bearing shells back into the same spot in the block or rod as long as it's all riding on the same crank if they are unharmed. Otherwise you've already crushed that bearing in a bore and if that bore is a different one the crush may be different, like not...
