5.7 Hemi in Dodge Demon w/ power steering
If you need to do this build on a tight budget. Contact me. I installed my engine at the end of 2007, before most people dared. I bought a 5.7 hemi, and it ended up costing me like 10 grand,( with install parts.) and than 2 weeks later a local school teacher destroyed a srt8 jeep, and that cost me half the Somalis. I did carb, not fuel injection. Because I feared the computer thing at that time. I had to figure most of it out myself, and there were no install packages. Installing, wiring, fueling,transmission, rear. I have very early TTI/ Schumaker mounts ( experimental ) that needed some tweeking. Early header that were fun to install. So if you have any troubles, my issues were 2 fold. I made enough mistakes for us all. E; Back than the guys at the shop swore it wouldn't mate up to the K frame. I had one guy saying he needed to heat the header pipe to clear the trans pan, and another guy I caught lifting the whole car by the transmission tunnel. You don't want to go through the non-sense, and B.S., patience, and cool nerves will prevail, but it takes planning. Either motor is good for mega mileage reliability ( I commuted 80 mile round trips for 8 months, 7 days a week, on a untested motor. The only mod I needed to make engine wise, was using a mechanical truck fan), good fuel efficiency when compared to power.( I get 17 mph with a xfi 273 cam ) Any motor that'll bring you 1 bhp per cube is impressive, this motor responds to all the old school tricks. 400 RWhp is not unusual with a mild bump to the idle.It'll run at below zero, or 108 in the heat. It worked out so well, it convinced one of my friends to convert his Camaro to a new LS, because he got sick of messing around while mine was turn key, it's almost hassle free once you found your recipe.
