    This this is going to be my best option right now. Its the mopar version for swaps, has the electronics and computer, and a cable throttle assembly. I figure cost of rebuilding, plus trying to buy the electronics....and we are at the same cost. least this has a warrantee and all that jazz. P5155067

    Maybe I should quit trying to modernize the car, stick w a nice carb v8. I do still want manual tranny, decent electronics, remote start. I have an 09' charger, do I really want a 73' that drives the same? These cars were fine how they were made, we like them for the nostalgia... Plus, carb...

    Thanks cuda, appreciate the input and info. You really think it would be that hard? Obviously me asking shows you where I am at in the "design stage", but looking at it. I can see the firewall will have to be removed and modified...I was going to put the 6 speed manual tranny it in anyway, so...

    Tearing apart hemi 5.7, machine work worth it?

    So, I am thinking here...back to my first dream engine w the dart. I'm thinking cost to rebuild the hemi, getting it where I want, plus the $2000 in electronics to run it....would be pretty substantial. I still need to buy the 6speed tranny, bell housing adapter. I found a company that will...

    Tearing apart hemi 5.7, machine work worth it?

    Green, im kinda thinkin that too. I would have to use just the block, buy the rest and machine work, electronics. Now I am at a cross road. Hemi? or not. if Hemi, where? what is to say a junkyard one won't be the same condition? New ones are freaking outrageous priced. If I don't go hemi, then...

    Tearing apart hemi 5.7, machine work worth it?

    So, you paid $200 for a 5.7 that physically turns over. Told by seller it had "a tick", no electronics yet to fire it, told it did run fine though. From what little you can see, valve train move and cylinders look good. Bottom end not looked at yet. With heads off you decide "gonna just do...
