its the angle of the pic, and the front of the car is on jack stands right now. I took out the torsion bars to install coil overs but the way the factory did the suspension it isnt a simple swap. I am going to fab up a upper control arm mount and use the magnum force k member and arms. When I...

Okay, answers, here we go. I didnt really have to modify the tunnel too much, unless I wanted to raise the entire section, it didnt really seem productive. I had to remove the pinch weld area where the firewall and floor are welded together from the factory. I also had to relieve a little...

Well its to each his own. I personally dont see the point in doing a swap and taking away the EFI. I could have built a stroker from my 360 for less than I have in the swap, and I only paid 1300 for the motor trans factory harness and pcm. You still have to have some sort of harness and pcm...

So I have officially done a hemi swap into the Doba. Pretty straight forward process, worst part is the trans tunnel. I am not 100% happy with that part, but I have brand new carpet and in order to use the 545rfe and get it exactly where I want it would require me to cut the whole tunnel and...

I just completed my hemi swap and I used a 06 truck motor with the 545rfe trans and the tti mounts. I have spool type mounts on my car and it did require me to use the TTI block off plate for the oil filter. The spool type mount sets right under the threaded coupler that the oil filter screws...

Sold this in august of 2011.

I got a 06 truck motor and tranny amd they are in. I am going to pull them to clean up the engine bay before it goes in permenately but otherwise it fits. I had to shave some spots on the tranny case and had to make some space on the driverside floor board. Didnt really wanna cut a whole in...

Yeah im not in hurry to sell so time is okay. As far as being done I don't think so. I have talked to a dozen shops that do hemi swaps and none have ever seen a doba. I got the whole motor tranny pcm and harness cheap so this should be pretty cost effective thing and badass when im done. 5...

I am about to do a hemi swap in my doba and was wondering what I should ask for the current motor/tranny package I have now. I have a factory '79 360 bored .060 over, flat top KB pistons, stock crank, rods, heads. Complete rebuild in 06, + valve job, edlebrock cam, lifters, intake. I have a...

Thanks for the help guys, I will check next weekend when I am at my shop.

My parts car is a 78 400 BB doba and I cant seem to to find a tag on the rear axle with the gear ratio. I was wondering if anyone here would know. I am doind a 06 hemi swap in the 79 that I jsut had painted and will probably need to replace my 276 gears and thought that the other car may have...

So that is a pic of the back of the dash, reverse. Mine is the same, Im a tard. Thanks, This may help me figure out my high beam indicator problem. Have had the car since 96 and grandparents bought it new, and I have never seen it light up.

No tach. But I do have a extra dash in the attic I will get down and snap a pic of it.

I am in the process of rebuilding the factory dash cluster and replacing all the gauges with new autometer gauges, but I have 3 options for a fuel gauge. They are all the same except the ohm levels at emply and full. My gauge doesnt show full anymore when I fill it up and I have had zero luck...

not to hijack this thread, but would anyone happen tohave the diagram for a 79 doba. The one above doesnt look anything like the back of my dash, atleast not the printed circuit board.
