Hemi Install Video

[boden]

Here's a video detailing some of the aspects of my 5.7 hemi install. I mostly made the video to learn to use Imovie on an iPad, but some people might find it useful. I'm still finishing paint and interior work so the car is not on the road yet.

I don't have volume on this computer, so I have a few questions. What tranny did you use? Did you have to cut the floor pan to get it in?

545RFE trans that came with the engine
Lots of cutting and welding in the floorpan. I widened and extended the tunnel and fabricated a custom trans mount.

That's what I thought I had to do. Just wanted to make sure I waasn't overlooking something easy.

I got my wiring and computer through hotwireauto.com

I used the factory service manual to guide me in modifying the stock harness and remove what was not needed while adding necessary fuses and relays.
