OK, so about a year ago i found a 5.7 on craigslist, bought it for $200. Guy said it ran but had a tick, so his client wanted it replaced. Had no electronics so no way to fire it. I took off the heads (wasting the $300 headbolts) and it turns over and looks good from what I see. Well through the...

OK, so here is the situation. Its been debated that my idea of 700hp on street, is a little scary.....so im gonna shoot for 500hp, figure its a nice round number. I wanna know how everyone would approach this, im not a millionaire...so can't afford blowers and stuff(someday want a root...

Ok, so now that mopar has agreed and stepped up to help us all out with swaps. I see that they have a complete stand alone engine kit for 6k...not happening. I already have the engine. I need a wire harness, and ecu. then i can at least fire the engine and make sure it works...i can deal w the...

I am waiting to get the the auto hotwire kit, computer and wire harness for the hemi 5.7. Question is, what else will i need after i get this, to make the engine run. I wanna test it out of the car first. I have a water pump on the engine (don't plan on running it long, just enough to make sure...

So with all these tranny swaps, what about the driveshafts? What requires longer or shorter shafts? Will any stock shafts work? Specifically wondering about the 727, t56, tko 500/600, Tr6060

Ok, so there is litterally hundreds of threads on the net about this. But I am still confused, overwhelmed really.. I ultimately want a manual tranny, so I may decide to hold off on doing anything im about to talk about. As it sits now, I have both a 904 and a 727. My hemi dart will see...

So on my dart, its supposed to say "dart swinger" on the fenders, etc. When i put the hemi 5.7 in, I want it to represent that...but im thinking having a fender say "dart Swinger Hemi 5.7" is gonna be a bit much. What is everyone else doing? thinking? with there emblems? Also, I would like...

I don't live in California, thank god, and where I live in Colorado there are no emissions anymore. My question is, if I swap a hemi 5.7 into my dart. How do I get insurance to cover it? Say I have $5000 tied up in that hemi, I don't want to have to eat it if I wreck, insurance will want to...

For those of you that ARE NOT, using alterkation or something similar. What TBs are you using under the new hemi 5.7 or 6.1? I've been in contact with Mike at PST, and he suggests running the 0.096", over the 1.03". " As far as torsion bars go I would say .096" is probably the best bet. They...

Ok, So in another thread we were talkign about wiring and splicing and all that good stuff for a 5.7 swap. OMG So I am looking at buying a computer from a junkyard or online. Maybe getting it flashed at hotwireauto or another spot. These places can't flash a computer with security...the RFID...

Ok, i'll admit im a little dodo bird here with this wiring and the new hemi. I keep hearing everyone say you gotta splice, and cut and make a harness, etc etc. What exactly has to be done to the harness? In my mind all I see is needing to splice the wires into your existing car harness..ie...

So I was able to buy a 5.7 hemi few weeks ago for $200. Guy said it was replaced cuz it ticked. No computer no harness. I can't put it in the dart till I get the alteration. Gonna cost me $2000 for a pc and harness and everything from autohotwire needed to make it run. Is there any other...

So, What kinda top speeds we seeing with these swaps? I am gonna be putting a stock (for now) 5.7 2005 hemi outta a ram into my 73' dart. Prob gonna stick it with the 727 for now (till i can locate/afford a t56) Any idea on speeds we are seeing and I can expect? thanks

I have a 73 dart, and a 5.7 hemi. So I haven't done any mock up or even put the engine in the bay yet. However, reading posts all over the net, I see that the PWS gearbox would get in way of exhaust and manual gearbox barely clears. Crazy thought, but why not just raise the engine? I don't care...

Gonna possibly picking a 5.7 hemi up tomorrow real cheap, need to know crank bolt size just in case to see that it turns over. Does anyone know?
