Has anyone had issues with the center link hitting the Moroso mid sump pan when turning wheels to the right? Wheels straight ahead and its already almost touching the side of the pan. Right turn is a hard no.

It's been a while since I've read up on stroker kits. In the early retro swap days it seems like the 400-410 ci range was the max for stock blocks, and the 440 ci kits were aluminum block territory. Has anything changed? I've seen some more talk of the 440's running around but no mention of alum...

Is there an issue with these swaps using the small block center links, or is the Big Block center link needed for oil pan clearance? EDIT- sorry, I think I meant slant 6 vs. V8. Been away from the A body too long. I'll be using the Milodon mid sump pan if it matters.

What have you guys used or seen to support the lower half of the Quicktime bellhousing? I have been meaning to add some support- the block plate doesnt seem enough to me. I saw someone use the trans support brackets that bolt to the two holes along each side of the block at the rear, but cant...

Need new heads for my '06 5.7 and have found some bare '09 Eagle heads. Will my '06 5.7 valvetrain (rockers/shafts) bolt in? From what little I was able to find online it looks like it will, but I would be more comfortable with some added input. Thanks!

Took the Warlock to the dyno this morning. I will give the link to the FTO site, since it isnt an A body. http://www.fortrucksonly.com/truckforum/threads/dynod-the-warlock-today.2399/

Gave the truck my first attempt at starting it today. Wanted to see if it would start without needing the push button switch so I gave that a shot first. No go- until I realized I hadn't depressed the clutch pedal. Doh! It did fire right up, and ran with some hellacious valve noise for quite a...

I just ordered up a Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan with Volvo dual speed fan relay for the Warlock. I now need to buy the proper dual thermo sensor to actuate the fans and would like to get feedback on what is the preferred thermostat temp so I can order the right sensor. Are you guys using the...

Hand delivered by some lady from God knows where. UPS mis-delivered my $2100 parcel. Quite thankful it found its way to me- I was getting suspicious of my meth lab neighbors. Time to hit the garage again...

Wondering what you have done to mate the old and new? What size fitting does the hemi's PS pump use? Local shops that used to make hoses are disappearing. I have found one that will take your old fittings and crimp them onto new hose, but that wont work well for me plus I dont have pressure...

Does any one know the sizes of the oil galley plugs (where remote filter fittings would go), and the coolant plug (just below the factory coolant sensor) on the 5.7? 2009 if it matters... I need to adapt my oil and coolant senders, but cant find any bushing adapters locally and have no clue...

I know- its not an A body- but it is a 5.7 swap. I finished mocking up the exhaust for my Warlock today. I wanted a Lil' Red type system, but didn't like the way they usually hang so low so you can see most of the piping. Jeep SRT8 factory headers, full 3" mandrel bend with X pipe, Spintech...

I have not seen any, searches turned up none. Yet there are blower manifolds available for the new Hemi's so I assume it has been done at some point. I am toying with trying it, but don't know how the snout, idler, and pulley system work out. If any one has pics I would love to see how it turned...

I figured this might get more responses posted here rather than the drivetrain section. Starting to think about rear axle ratios to get a plan in place. I want a steep gear for racing. The double overdrive then making it driveable on the street. With the T56 1st gear ratio of 2.66, what is...

What model years did the complete cracking of coding start? I was planning on using Megasquirt, but now am considering a factory computer. Now that Mopar has seen the light and helped Diablosport unlock the coding it seems like picking up a complete motor with wiring harness and computer makes...

Initial test fit to my 5.7 looks like I will need to shorten the input shaft a bit. Before I do this I figured I had better ask a few questions about it. Is there a difference in the depth of the pilot holes between manual and automatic cranks? Is it possible to have the crank pilot drilled...

I am fitting a 5.7 / T56 into a Warlock. Narrow frame rails have me using Jeep SRT8 stock headers. I bought the bell with starter on pass side (8077) thinking it would work but it is hitting starter pretty hard. Has anyone confirmed the Jeep manifolds clear the Quicktime 8074 bell with the...
