    Retro fit 6.1 - parts check list

    Mal - In regard to the email - Yes, torque-to-yield bolts must be replaced every time they are loosened up. So long as the replacement bolts are factory parts, there's no risk of the bearing bores changing shape. If they were aftermarket other-than-stock-replacement bolts then you would need to...

    5.7 Hemi Conversions - XVMotors? Arrington Chip Killr? Other options?

    5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

    A conservative 408 can get over 17mpg in an A body with a carb and 3sp. An EFi version would go past 20 easy, again, 3.23s and 3sp auto. Add an OD stick, and it goes better.
