Search results for query: 5.7 swaps

Welcome from Alabama, my Gen III swaps were done before much was available, but a 5.7 swap will net you great economy for a driver. I'm running 3.55's in both of mine. The 5.7 car is a manual TKO 5-speed. The 6.1 car retains the 727.

I've done plenty of research and I'm continuing to do research. In fact, that is why I am here searching for people who have done similar swaps. While I appreciate what you've shared I have many more questions that your post could not and did not answer, primarily the questions regarding...

I am putting a 5.7 gen 3 hemi in a 65 coronet, using the msd box for the ignition and just because it is an old car, I think it should have carbs. I am fully versed in fuel injection and done several swaps; I just want some carbs. My question is, looking for some reasonable priced coil...

A modern 5.7 or 392 Hemi conversion will give you more power, reliability, ease of use and easily give 20 mpg. Of course there’s a hefty price to pay for that, but you end up with an extremely reliable car that you can drive anywhere. I think as time goes in, you’ll see more and more of these swaps.

Oh for sure! Now they even have a controller for the 8 speed. But everything about those swaps is expensive. I really want to hear one carbureted.

I have a '13 AWD Charger 5.7. Can't speak to police, I bought mine new when they still offered it to us peons. I also don't know what they changed in the 7 years after they built mine. I do know people put the '11 and '12 on a chassis dyno and the AWD showed 35HP more then the 2wd. They also...

A Gen 3 Hemi probably will fit. There's been a few articles posted on a Crossfire Forum swapping Benz V8s into a Crossfires. I believe the Benz engine was chosen because of the electronics of the Benz V8 was easier to modify to play with the electronics of the Crossfire. What I've read the...

I kind of lost your train of thought. Is the new too you scrap yard 5.7 going in your pickup as is. Did you give up on making it speedier? And your current 5.7 in the pickup is getting rebuilt for the charger? I run 2 5.7s. A 06 and a 09. The 09 is a 5.7 Eagle engine with 150k, in an...

Which is your opinion based on no experience whatsoever!

Not sure if there is an existing thread for proven engine builds concerning the Gen III Hemi but figure it would be a decent resource as there is nowhere near the information out there compared to say, LS engines. I am currently building two Gen IIIs Engine 1 - Stock 6.1L Hemi that has been in...

Just inherited my Uncles 1973 Dodge Charger SE, I'm the third owner and it's stayed in the family the whole time. The block on the LA series that came with it was broken so I'm figuring out what to do with it. I've been scouring the internet for information on hemi swaps but it doesn't seem like...

Here is some of the problems with trying to do that conversion. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/forums/magnum-engine-swaps.131/ Easier to put a 5.7 Gen III Hemi in it. Almost a straight bolt in. Kits are available.

70 Challenger 440, Nice score on the 71, and I love the idea of a 5.7!!!!! IMO, the Holley Terminator X for like $1500, is a GREAT way to run the 5.7 engine.(control timing, fire injectors, it comes with a ecu, wires and pre-programed tunes to start with) One other good system is the Mopar...

Another option for the Gen III 5.7 or 6.4 could be the factory kits that include all the sensors, throttle pedal, power train modules and wiring etc. as a complete package designed to use these engines in older vehicles. Look for PN 77072454AC for the 392 kit and PN 77072455AG for the...

At some point, it just comes down to - simplicity. Simple gets you point (a) to point (b). I've come full circle on this issue. Years ago I was a big believer in EFI, and the Holley Sniper kit I purchased worked exceptionally well - when it worked, which unfortunately wasn't for very long...

I drove an unrestored 69 camaro numbers matching car for a while I drove a 1968 charger with a 440 that was stock with a 70k price tag back in 2010-11 The difference between you and I is that I’m not the one making a thread saying “ Don't swap in a modern engine or efi for driveability”...

I really appreciate the advice/information. I will not be running a carb, that is certain regardless of which way I go. All of my cars are EFI (or will be in the 70 RR). I realize that a 5.7 swap gets expensive but I am not convinced that it would be all that much more than keeping the 383 if...

Furious70, I am with you on utilizing the MDS and VVT, when possible, but as I learned, performance cams manufactures, just drop the MDS, and use lock out or limiters on the VVT, on their camshafts. When I was talking with a custom cam grinder for my 2016 R/T 5.7, I stressed how I wanted to keep...
