@b-body fan I have some more pictures and detail on my blog: https://dartslantsix.wordpress.com/2024/09/02/hemi-swap-progress-gas-pedal-clutch-master-paint/

I'm rebuilding my 2010 5.7L and I'd like to have the factory manual for putting it back together. It looks like everything is digital now. Where's the best place to get a copy? Google is coming up with some sketchy looking stuff. I saw the Larry Shepard book, but some of the reviews are saying...

The picture makes it look worse than it is. I actually went back out and checked and it should be fine. I'll double check though, before everything goes back in the car. Thanks for the pics you provided on your setup.

I got this project wrapped up. I copied @JBrian 's scheme. Had to chop the factory mount off the timing cover to get access to the hole in the block. (I'll clean up my cut when I pull the cover) I ordered the A/C compressor from Classic Auto Air (Sanden 7176) Turns out the threaded hole in...

Do you know what brand filter/regulator you have? I read on another forum that if you don't get OEM or WIX, you'll have fuel pressure/regulation issues.

Yes, the plan is to paint the rest of the car this color with a metallic gun metal grey stripe.

In preparation for installing the new hemi, I decided to paint the engine bay. I knew if I installed the engine first, I'd probably never paint the bay. Anyway, this is my first "big boy" paint job and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Color is "Vivid Blue Pearl" came on Chrysler 200's.

I went with Wesco. I had to use two anchor points on the bottom. I have a write up on my blog: https://dartslantsix.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/installing-3-point-seat-belts-and-a-headliner/

Here's what it took to fit the AX15 in my Barracuda: Rebuilding the Transmission Tunnel It shifted smooth with synthetic oil in it. I also shortened up the shifter. I was running a 5.2L Magnum. Only thing I didn't like was the gear spacing. I have 3.73s in the rear. First gear was pretty much a...

How did you smooth the intake? Did you also paint it? If so, what did you use? It looks way better than stock.

Thanks for everyone's input!

2017+ Chrysler Pacifica vans, non hybrid. How are they? Don't care much for whizbang features, just reliability. I've heard the trans can be clunky, but lasts okay. I've also heard issues with an oil cooler? Looking to upgrade the family van. We had a 2009 Chrysler van and it was horrible...

Aha! That's the part I was missing. I couldn't see where the rear was bolted. It looks like my timing cover is different from yours. I'm going to have to trim it to access that bolt hole. Thanks again for posting.

@JBrian , hey a couple questions on your setup. Is the compressor only using the front ears for mounting? Or do you also have something attaching to the rear ears? It looks like you cut the timing cover for clearance, is that right? Any pictures of that? Do you feel that the 7176 compressor...

Well, some lifting with a Jack and some wacking with a hammer and I think it turned out ok.

That's awesome, checking it out now.

This popped up in my feed today: Mopar racers: Are they just built different? I'd love to hear more about this car. Anybody have more details? The Durango did pretty well too.

Thanks for the pictures. By the part numbers, they are for cars 2009 and up. They turn down nice, but I'm thinking the width will hit the shock towers.

Do you know what exhaust manifolds those are? Are there part numbers on them? They look like they would work well in the engine bay.

Love the car! Saw it on Instagram and was looking for more details, so I was pleasantly surprised to see your thread here. Do you have pictures of the rear link suspension? You mention a 3-link and that's something I'd like to do someday. Thanks.

@DionR Mine is measuring 4 3/8" 2010 5.7L Cop engine. It's has the VVT also. So there are some overlap years on the accessories.

Interesting... a lot of the links I was finding were broken. Thanks for all your input here, @DionR @JBrian that looks nice! I'm planning on using the Classic Auto Air kit, so this looks like the simplest way to go. Would you be willing to share the files for those parts? I could chip in some...

I'm in the early stages of my hemi swap and have been searching the forum a bunch. Unfortunately, some of the links are broken in the older threads. What has been done to fit the A/C compressor? This is my set up: stock k-frame (biscuit mounts), 2010 5.7L Car engine, TTI mounts. The TTI mount...

My 67 Barracuda's radiator support is bent. I'm not really a body guy. How would you fix this? Beat it back into shape? Too far gone... replace it? If I can bend it back into place, any tips are techniques? Thanks.

I had an AX15 in my Barracuda. (Just pulled it this weekend and it's for sale) I have 3.83 gears and was running a Magnum 5.2L. First gear was pretty much a granny, so when racing I'd start in 2nd. There was a big jump between 2-3 and it felt like the car didn't pick up speed until 3rd. It...

AX15 transmission, 2wd out of a 1994 Dakota. Fits Mopar small block, I was using it in my 67 Barracuda. Shifter has been shortened to work in the car. Shifted smooth when pulled. I believe it has about 160K miles on it. $200 OBO, Location: Klamath Falls, OR

I will have a restored box available later this winter. I'm swapping in A/C. I'm in Southern Oregon.

I'm going to try this today. It should give me constant 45 psi. Thanks.
