In order for me to set the 2003 Hemi in my duster i will need to get the right engine mounts- most of the info ive learned was from STREET&PERFORMANCE- also clearance issues between headers and steering linkage- all of the modifications are being done to a '73 duster- thanks for any info :snakeman:

plenty of guys ahve dropped a 5.7 in A bodys,,YOU MAY BEED TO DO SOME SLIGHT MODS,, reconfigure the steering column,,not hard,,,check shumaker maybe he has mounts for the 5.7,,

We had TTI mounts and short headers. TTi mounts are for v8kframe
the oil pan was made for swapping 5.7 into a body.

The TTI's wouldnt work w/ my setup cause of the modifications done.

It's an AlterKtion front, but we cut it up and moved it into the subframe 2". Centered the motor, raised it 2", modified RMS's motor mounts...for a cleaner look. The AlterKtion makes life so much easier to fit everything in the car.....downfall is $$$. Used an Ididit column, again to clean up the appearance. The 6.1 accessories are different than the 5.7....the 5.7 mounts the Ac/alternator up high making an easier fit

Lots of companies can re-flash the factory computer. I plan on using an aftermarket system by AEM. Might add some boost and do the bottom end of the motor at some time.

I called Street and Performance and unless your car is at their shop they will not make the headers. I also am on a budget and am using the TTI headers, TTI motor mounts, stock k frame and weld tech oil pan. I will be using the front timing cover off of the truck so the accessories are towards the top vs the car stuff that is at the bottom.

My car is not at their shop, never has been and they built these. Maybe they changed their policy, but I got these a few months ago from S&P.
