Engine offset replication?

[Donny]

On the old war wagon Mopar A, B, C, and E bodies, the motors sat about 3 inches over off-center towards the passenger side. On the new Hemi swap into any of these cars, does the new Hemi also sit off-center? I'm going to hack a large section out of my Trans tunnel on my Satellite to accomodate the new accompanying transmission. The system I acquired already has the new Oil Pan, and E Body motor mounts. I don't know if they are the same with B Body mounts. My learning curve will be fast and steep on this. Target car is my Satellite.

Transmission tunnel and rear end are also offset.

I don't know if the new-gen cars have the same offset, but with your car, the drivetrain offset is determined by the offset in the rear-end, so you can't really change it...

 

[Donny]

My question was poorly worded. When one installs these new Hemi's in the older cars, do the motor mount adapters to make the Hemi fit on a K member accomodate this offset? I know the 8.75 rear end has this definite offset, wondering if this is also built-in? Thanks.

If you use TTI engine mounts and the factory style insulators, the engine will be located in the correct position in/on the k frame.

I need to know what I 'got' in this package deal. As I said, I'm very ignorant of this system. LX guy, bring a few Doors down, comb over my system, I'll blast 'em for ya, translate what I got, what I need, etc.

I just went to see your engine and it has the Street & Performance engine mounts with the factory style insulators. Those will also put your engine in the right location on the k frame. After you bolt the engine in, the trans will line up if using a 727. Now if your using a 545rfe or the NAG1, your going to be doing some tunnel mods and cross member fabbing. All will be fine, did mine with the 545rfe, and had ZERO vibrations.

 

[Donny]

I don't know what a 545 and NAG1 is, other than Transmissions. I was told the Transmission I have came out of a truck, and the Engine out of a 2006 300, or Charger. So, is this a NAG1 or 545?

Which one does it look like?

Donny, you have the 545rfe transmission.

 

[Donny]

Mine looks like the one on the right, the left is a 727 and the middle is the one in the Challenger/Charger, right?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Middle is a NAG1.

 

[Donny]

I look fwd to fabricating the Satellite up to hold this Engine/Transmission. I'll be removing the Radiator Upper and Lower Cross member and slide the entire assembly 'back' into the engine bay while it's on the Chassis Table.

 

[5.7 hemi]

I did the same, but I don't have a frame table so yours should be really easy.

 

[Donny]

I was driving to work this morning, and NAG1 just stuck with me, think I got a new name for the wife!

 

[5.7 hemi]

Don't say that out loud.......we'd miss ya!

 

[Donny]

Sometimes its funnier to just read it!

So how long before the surgery starts?

 

[Donny]

Already started!
