This is a definate. I have one of the first Hemi swaps to be done. Yes purchase the TTI mounts, they are worth the money. They will position the engine in the bay properly. You can use a 727, but to get the transmission mount to bolt in you will have to flatten the body to firewall seam. When you have the engine on the mounts and go to bolt the trans mount, the bell housing will touch the firewall seam. This seam sticks down about 3/4 of an inch, just remove it and weld the seams together or just hammer and dolly it flat. This part is your choice. Or use a 904 with a aftermarket pump gear for strength. The 904 is smaller. The flywheel part is easy, just use a 5.7 Hemi flywheel (8 bolts), and have a machine shop cut the ring gear off. Use a standard torque flight converter. Headers are you choice or not. I used 2005 Grand Cherokee exhaust manifolds. They are small, but flow pretty good. Cost me maybe 15 horsepower I think. I have the 6.1 camshaft, with the 6.1 springs. The retainers are the same. I removed the 8 MDS lifters and replace them with regular ones. The ignition and fuel injection part is up to someone else to help you, if you choose to keep the fuel injection. I chose to carburate mine, (makes for a cool looking combination under the hood). MSD Ignition is down the street from my house, They built a system for the 5.7 that is a stand alone system to run the coils. It runs on the factory cam and crank sensors, and is truly a simple system to put on. P/N for the controller is 6013. There are two different coil setups on the 5.7. You need the harness that goes with your configuration. Your steering column will need some reworking as the part sticking thru the firewall will probably hit the corner of the drivers side head, this is an easy fix. If you are putting it in an A body, power steering will not clear the exhaust manifold or TTI header. So be prepare for the conversion to manual steering. Power brake booster won't fit, convert to manual brakes. Disk brakes on front and drums in the rear, mine stops on a dime. Summit makes universal aluminum radiators, it fit with only simple homemade brackets. You need to run an electric fuel pump, and no more than a 650 carb. I recommend a double pumper, the manifold is a single plane and it needs 2 pumps to overcome the huge plenum under hard acceleration. Mine is jetted at 68 and 70 with a 6.5 power valve. This Hemi runs best overall with no more than 29 degrees of total timing. It lost HP on the chassis dyno with more timing. It put out 381 fwhp, 302 to the wheels both at 6000 rpm. I hope this answers your questions. I have not tried to put one in a B body, It should have a lot more space. This is my experiences and 2 cents on the 5.7 swap. Its worth all the work in the end. Runs like mad and is smooth all the time. This is the best overall package I have ever owned. It cruises without effort at 3200 and sits your butt in the seat with the flip of the pedal on the right. Good Luck and see ya around. Sorry this got so long but a lot of people need to know some info on this swap.
