Way to go. Nice to hear about Mopars, especially our A body Mopars, being featured. Kind of sick of seeing Camaro's featured all the time.

I've got one the last Prak dashes before they quit business again. Guess that I am lucky. My intentions are to use the Dakota Digital analog series of gauges. Actually, I have those too, but both the dash and gauges are 400 miles from where I live. That's where my cars are but hopefully the A...

The unit that you have here is interesting, too. Is it a custom mount?

Indy has an interesting FI unit that attaches to the ModMan intake that they sell. I've thought about the dual FAST throttle bodies on that intake, but they have a really clean looking unit, but I have no idea as to what the price it at. Another option is the SixPak throttle bodies too, same...

Not exactly right now, but I definitely will be doing a forged stroked 6.1. I've got the long block, just wanting something different for the intake, and some extra power for this beast.

Just scored a long. Lock 6.1 and am curious if the 6.4 bottom end will work, or has anyone attempted this? My short block has a couple of spun bearings so I'm thinking that I need a couple of rods and a crank. So, why not bring this thing up to 392 the Chrysler way. Doing a 6.4 crank and rods...

Great information.

I'm wondering if, or when American Witing or Hotwire will just offer the wiring complete to run the Gen lll motor in our A-Body cars? They have the wiring for just about everything else.

The Dodge, what they call the Baby Hemi, is quite a bit lighter, shorter as well as more narrow than the Desoto and Chrysler 1st generation hemi. We put a 57 Dodge 325+ ci in my 38 Ford standard sedan. No real problems, but we did make a contoured firewall for better rear fitment. I call it my...

Very clean, nicely done. Should be a real killer street car when finished. Bill

What's the specs on this, as well are the internals forged? What compression ratio and what about cam availability and specs? What's all included for the $3849? Thanks.

Me too, with forged innards, that would be killer. Indy still offers a 5.7 turned into a 6.4 forged for $3795 with forged internals. Maybe they will do a 426" for $3995 without core beings as Mopar has new 6.1 blocks. That 6.4 is without a core charge, by the way. No core needed.

I have an opportunity to get, cheap a complete sideswiped 2013 Charger police car with transmission, wiring, front belts, puppies and A/C, alternator as well as starter. In other words, everything. My intentions are to do either a Stroker 6.1, or 5.7 forgers internals, and use the cop car parts...

Great build is what I was trying to say. I need to proof read a bit better. Too big of fingers. Plus, spell check doesn't always work right.

That radiator looks really nice. Where did you say you got it? Great. Hold too.

Keep in mind also, AMS sells complete front floors, including the center transmission hump. As for the torsion bar crossmember, not that big of deal either. The T-56 looks the best to me too.

One thing that this should do is bring down the prices of the seasoned, make that, used 6.1's that are now 5+ years old. Not that I'd turn down a nice 6.1 short block for a good price, but in the $1K range for a new, and probably improved, block, well let's do it.:violent1:

Im for the 2 1/2" also, but maybe use the 3" for the end pipes. They tell me that they will add a little but looks is more what it will do. Just a clean, non restrictive muffled exhaust should do just fine. I'm looking that truck 395 hp 5.7 too. For me, in a street Valiant, I think that 485...

Really detailed nicely. Also, love your color and I will be using that color when the Valiant gets to that point. Same for the SRT hemi with 5-speed too.

Any more talk about drop in electronics/computer for this hemi in a bodies? What are guys doing when they build a 5.7 into a 392 or whatever, mixing parts as in large intakes, SRT cam, eliminating the MDS, I'm still investigating all this stuff and ideas, as I originally thought the way to go...

Looks like it was made to fit in there. Speaking about power steerings, has anyone attempted to use the new electric power steering yet? I realize that this means modern rack & pinion and hemidenny or RSM k members, juste curious.

Get a 2009+ 5.7 that was for a 6-speed and it does not use the MDS. That would be my suggestion, although finding one may present a problem. Probably better off buying a NEW 6.4 for manual transmission. Could be cheaper in the long run.

I'd like some information Nd have ask if anyone has tried one of Indy Cylinder Heads special hemi 3rd Gen motors? They look rather good for a 60's A-Body like I want to do. Any experience with them? Dual quad, I read the Mopar Muscle article on it. Also I'm more interested in the FAST system...

Hey guy, I like the color and would go that with my Lil Valiant, but the hot rod is close to a B-5 blue, so something else. What size tire and wheel is that? It looks good, plus remember they always settle when you put some power to it. I've followed your build, and you've done a fantastic job.

I just read postings on the charger site, that the late 5.7 (2009-2014) as well as the 6.4 were NOT great candidates for dropping in our A-Bodies or trucks. That the theft alarms, throttle control make it difficult to use in other cars. Like my intentions of using a manual, like Passon's...

I know that you've done a lot of these swaps, so I could be convinced otherwise. Next year when we get around to ACTUALLY putting one of these monsters in my little Valiant, I could use all the help and advise I can get. Also, question: Does the 6.1 have forged internals? Thanks

It seems as there is better throttle response. There always seems like there is a lag there, something like a turbo lag. Also, more control with the gas pedal. Also, not having to have to use a special throttle pedal. Maybe it's my imagination, but that's just me.

Makes sense and this is what I'll be doing when we get to this point. Thanks for the help. Bill

Thanks, but if you'd explain what I'm looking at please. It appears that you've answered my question, but I need to understand more on this. I really don't want to go to something like the FAST throttle body system. Guess that's why I'm reading all this. I've got some elementary knowledge on...
