    Intake manifold

    I am using a Holley single plane intake with the stock 5.7 TB which required me to modify a LS 4150 adapter. I have not gotten the car running yet so I do not know how good or bad it will work. I am using a DBW Holley Terminator X max system with a Cherokee DBW peddle.

    Hemi Smoking

    Depends on how long/much it was running fat but they are pretty resilient engines so I'd say you are probably ok there. I would be more inclined to go with the stuck ring situation the remedy for which seems to be dealers choice in that there are a variety of them but none are a guarantee. I do...

    Remote PS reservoir fitting?

    I have some experience with a PS remote reservoir on a Type II pump (similar to the 6.4 pump) and what I will say is to make sure that the reservoir is above the pump or it will not work.

    I hate selling and buying anymore..

    I will not price another person's property, if there isn't a price posted I pass period.

    Low profile intake 6.1 hemi

    Might have to go aftermarket although I believe that the 5.7 intakes fit as well so you could look at a car version of the 5.7 intake which I am pretty sure is lower. The intake you have is reportedly a very good intake for performance so you might have to give some up to change. Another...

    69 Barracuda ***

    I agree, I like those louvers and if I build the car I will be keeping them. However I have to say that the chances are that I will be selling it bc I have 2 other cars to build, but then again if I could get into a 5.7 cheaply you never know, I really like the car. In fact, a 67-69 FB Cuda was...

    69 Barracuda ***

    Good looking cars, all of them. I have a 68 FB that is sitting in my shop, not sure if I am going to build it or not, I have to do my 71 Charger and 70 RR first. Its a 318 AT PS bucket seat car. It has a crappy sun roof in it and most interesting it has 67-68 FB mustang louvers on the sail panel...

    Subframe connectors for a driver/cruiser, necessary to weld to floor?

    I put them in every car I build bc they do stiffen the car up considerably and do make the car handle better. I cannot say they would make a car launch harder bc I don't have any direct experience with that, but in "theory" I would think they might as they would facilitate a better transfer of...

    Hemi swap oil pan questions

    I bought the Holley pan for my 5.7, I really like the cast aluminum aspect as it is very rigid and I believe it uses the stock silicone gasket. Also, I like that the Holley pan comes complete with pickup, bolts, etc. I haven't received it yet but should soon.

    Hemi hp and tq ?

    I suspect you will get varied responses ranging from "keep it old school" to "upgrade to the G3 Hemi". I fall into the second camp, I would drop a G3 into it in a heartbeat and enjoy the crap out it. Sure, to many a G3 doesn't look as cool as the OS 440, and it is not a super simple or super...

    Ev1 or ev6 injectors?

    I googled it and read some stuff online, my 5.7 has EV6

    What about zinc?

    Goes to show you what I know about /6's... LOL I think I might have owned 1 or maybe 2 cars (out of like 140) that had a /6 but I know I never keep one very long. Not hating on them at all, just did have a lot of experience with them, I was much more of a BB guy.

    What about zinc?

    I am not a slant 6 expert but I would have thought by 74 the /6 would be using hydraulic lifters? Anyway, there are basically 2 types of cams (as it relates to this discussion), a roller cam and a flat tappet cam. within these 2 "categories" there is solid and hydraulic in both styles. On a...

    What about zinc?

    I think the zinc was/is primarily for engines with flat tappet cams (which your car has) but I don't think it needs a lot. In my flat tappet engines I generally use a product designed (or at least that is what they say) for older vehicles which I believe has some zinc in it.

    Wheel Hub Stands on Sure-Grip Rear

    Thats a good question, I have some stands as well but have never tried them on the back of the car (got them for front end work).

    Vvt lock or not

    They must have just discontinued them, there are some still out here (dont let the title "shifter knob" fool you, they are valve springs) Genuine MOPAR Shifter Knob P5160074 | eBay

    Vvt lock or not

    Yes you can reuse the retainers (I intend to)

    Vvt lock or not

    If the engine was out of a AT car it has MDS, if it is out of a stick car it doesn't have MDS. That said, if you have a MDS engine then you need a MDS delete system (which they sell). I am using 05037379BC for my crate engine bc it is a non MDS engine. You will also need the springs.

    Vvt lock or not

    Pete - all of the modern hemi's are VVT, therefore all of the stock cams would be as well. The question is whether you need a MDS capable cam or not. Either way, here are the numbers I have; (please confirm type/usage before purchasing) 18-20 6.4 Hemi w/MDS 5037379BC 21 up 6.4 Hemi w/MDS...

    UTG engine build "callout"

    I can't say I am a big Dulcich fan either, not because he is talking crap but just the way he is. I think he knows a lot and is talented but I don't care for his mannerisms which could be at least a partial result of being on camera. That said, I would listen to Steve long before uncle dumbass...

    UTG engine build "callout"

    Its an organization that many successful YouTube posters become a part of, they bring in advertising (read money). I am sure there are other benefits but I believe getting paid is the driving force behind it. They have all sorts of posters in many different areas.

    UTG engine build "callout"

    UTG is a hack at best but I will give him props for sucking in so many and making money off them. He definitely has that "carney" quality about him; able to talk complete crap and make it sound legit. If someone watches his channel for the entertainment value so be it, but thats about all is is...

    Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???

    Well I really don't like him or his channel and putting a /6 into a Miata only pours gas onto that sentiment... So many better options...
