5.7L Hemi, 1968 Barracuda.. Opinions.

orange68cuda said

So I have a 5.7L Hemi I got out of my buddies 08 Ram, the thing is in awesome shape but bone stock.. What kind of work can I look forward to if I were to swap my 318 for this engine? The car is a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback (Avatar pic) Skies the limit right? Just looking for opinions/experience from people who've done it or atleast have more knowledge than myself. Thanks for any help! :P

In order to replace your 318 with the simplest hemi conversion you can make with the least amount of money is,
a stock SB K frame
Motor mounts (TTI)
Oil filter block off plate and a remote mounted oil filter setup (TTI)
Headers (TTI)
Oil Pan (Center sump)
Special flex Plate and neutral balance converter (Hemi bolts right up to a SB 727 or 904)
MSD Hemi 6 and matching wiring harness
Stock coils
Carbed intake
Carb
Throttle cable and kick down cable
Manual steering box (power won't fit with the stock K frame)
Stock truck clutch fan with a smaller reverse rotation aftermarket fan (Flex a lite reverse rotation clutch fan)
You can use a radiator for a late model SB (1970-up) A body with a truck timing chain cover and a modified upper water neck (on the engine not the rad).

I think I remembered everything but no promisses!!!8)
