426 HEMI

[snakeoil24]

Chrysler did amazing things! that's part of why Ford hated them so much. In addition Ford spent a fortune on development and Chrysler had very little money and with sheer brilliance spanked everyone. I even remember Enzo Ferrari would go nuts over Chrysler's 405 Cubic inch Hemi and the destroked 370 cu version of the 426 hemi. The guy would spit nickels. we truly are the greatest brand!

Stage 5 engineering used to have hemi conversion heads for a 440. Not sure if they still making them with a lot of other companies producing Hemi parts again.

The kick starter is from a honda 90. Just for show when --I push the start button.
The starter is where it should be right next to the alternator.
The trans. is my version of a manual shift (by left foot) 727 torqueflite.
No torque convertor. --Left hand pulls on a cable operated gate valve on the valve body to dump preassure to the wet clutches for shifting.
The right angle drive case (spiral miter gears) for dual drive belts I fabbed from scratch.

They are still advertising them, selling them, they ain't cheap either
they make the conversions for a lowdeck 383-400 too & a 2 x 4bbl manifold...

I've posted this before but it seems like a good fit in this thread as we are talking about conversions and the hemi.

I'm impressed. You've done some serious homework...what is it You do/did for a living? For trannie op, is this a system You worked out in Your head,or are You working off a previous architecture & filtering in Your own ideas?

This all comes from a spark of an idea that Me and a good friend had in about 1975. We both were into bikes and mopars.
I drew up sketches of a 392 hemi bike at that time that were way to long to be practical. (Bob wanted power steering-geez?)
I'm an industrial/construction millwright by career and self taught as to fabricating stuff.

For me this is much like what you do. It is (in my case) mechanical art.

I started with the engine and solved one basic problem after another to keep it as short as possiable and drivable.

For example I had to raise the trans. 5" with an offset drive in the bellhousing area so the final drive would be in a proper line with the back tire.----It's a long story of problem solving and that has been the fun for me so far.

Work still to be done.
