Search results for query: 5.7 swaps

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...

I definitely agree with that last statement. I am not enamored enough with MDS or VVT to go out of my way to try and use either/both. As to the new cars, I don't think the manual cars have MDS, I know my 10 Challenger RT 6 spd doesn't seem to shut off any cylinders at any time, however my 14...

Emphasis on "Finally" Cant say I disagree at all, but you can thank chrysler for not supporting the aftermarket, purposefully locking ECU's, inflating prices, etc. Not to mention their fly by night, vendor of the week approach of building a dozen of something, and discontinuing it before the...

Gotcha and no I don't really don't know the answer per se, I have just been doing research and seeing what others have/are using. That said, I realize when you did you cars there wasn't a lot (if any) aftermarket support like there is now. I have no doubt that when you did your cars you had to...

I think you are on to something. I feel there will be a lot of guys willing to do this king of a swap. That being said. I bought my 1st Mopar in 1970. I have been a Mopar fan ever since. I'm 66 years old and there is something about opening the hood and seeing vintage iron under the hood. When I...

I was checking out pictures and was like, wait... that's an LS! :rofl: I appreciate the awesome work you're doing, I was waiting to see the backlash after that picture! I have a Gen 3 in my car but I also have an LS swap in my C-10 and will be doing many more LS swaps in the the future, and...

Hey Guys, I'm pretty active over on A-Bodies, but haven't checked in here for a bit. I posted the below over there, and I think since so many B bodies are ending up with Gen III's it's time we start exploring options! Anyways...As many of you guys know, I'm a big Mopar guy, and have several...

...but long term it's not the way to go. In the 80-90 tpi swaps and magnum 5.2/5.9 swaps were the way to go In 90-2000 ls1 swaps and hemi 5.7 swaps were the way to go Nowadays ls3 and hellcat swaps or larger srt motor swaps are the way to go. You can't give away the tpi swaps the magnum...

After much primer and body work, It was finally off to motor swap land! 73 roadrunner project by rescuediver1982, on Flickr My friend Nathan typically does LS swaps in his sleep. He previously did a 6.1 Hemi in a bad *** 69 Coronet back in the early days of...

Hi, I'm Joe, and I have a Mopar problem....wait...what? This isn't that meeting? Ah.... Anyway. Hi all! I just joined due to my newest acquisition. I've had a '72 Satellite Custom 7-passenger non-a/c wagon for about 25 years, that's been from OEM 318/904/8.75" suregrip (3.23)...to crate...

I know it’s been a while since you posted, but I am building a Superbird tribute and bought a 2016 wrecked challenger for the 5.7 Hemi with only 7000 miles... I want to add a 545RFE but wanted to know what is needed to make it work? The challenger had an 8 speed that I’m having too many problems...

Hello all - longtime lurker since I actually bought my 2 B-Bodies. Starting a thread here for my 69 Satellite Wagon which will be receiving a G3 Hemi Swap. I need and want a place to ask questions and track my own progress and in terms of B-Bodies, FBBO definitely has a good, active G3 Hemi...

If you ever want to get rid of some of that trim let me know

So from my swap here is a bit of help, hopefully... Windage trail from Milodon is a decent buy... It keeps the oil from sloshing and is supposed to preserve a pony or two when rough driving. I bought it and installed it... I would go through and mock up your harness and make sure all of the...

TTI makes headers and engine mounts for whatever you want to swap. There is a small dent on the front tube on the driver side you make for clearance. The AC compressor location depends on the vehicle it was pulled from. Cars down low and trucks up high. Call up Bouchillon Performance, they can...

The truck engines have it higher than the car engines.

I have read a few swap threads and have seen a few things that I don't want and do want on my 69 b-body swap to a 2008 5.7 . I have seen some Gen III's with a/c compressors mounted high and some that are mounted low and the k-frame motor mount perch had to be hacked up and it was a pain to...
