late model hemi into early b bodies

[5.7 hemi]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have put a 5.7 hemi and 5spd. auto into my 64 polara 500. There were some snags but overall it went pretty smooth.

If antone has questions , I'll try to answer them the best I can. I did do away with the truck manifold and used a Charger one instead so the engine does have a different look.

I take it that is a truck 5.7 and not one from a Charger or like?

Truck 5.7, charger intake on it now due to some firewall clearence issues.

Cool beans. It gonna have MDS also?

btw, love the wheels

 

[5.7 hemi]

It's an 03' so no mds, thank God.

The wheels I got on Ebay for less than 500, and they are Foose rims. the fronts are 15x7 245/60 and the rear is 15x8 275/60 the fit is really good.

I think it would be the tits to have the MDS AOD and 3.91s and go hit the power tour!

I put in the 5spd auto and also 3:91s so this should get off the line in a hurry and get decent gas milage.

Did you use the aluminum strut rods?

No, I made them at work and then had our chrome shop put an industrial chrome on them.
