brain storming (HEMI)

I'm considering the same engine swap. Except I would use either a Keisler 5 Speed (www.keislerauto.com) or a 5 Speed Chrysler Autostick. If I remember right your 65 engine bay is a little smaller than my 69 Dart. My main concern is the Hemi fitting with my stock k-frame. I found some websites with some info.

This guy put one in his 67 Cuda. He went with a tubular k-frame, but I don't like the idea of coil over suspension. Plus its expensive!

I think this tubular k-frame makes more sense.

These guys deal alot with the 5.7 Hemi. Although I don't think they have put one in an A-Body. They even have some engine measurements that might help you.

I think this is going to be a HOT engine swap into older Mopars, but I also feel that a rare or valuable Mopar should be restored to original. Otherwise I feel that Mopars are made to be driven and everone should build their dream car they way they want.
