    New TTI headers don't block EGR port!

    I just had to replace my 10 year old TTI headers on my 5.7 swap. The old ones had a small tube that ran the EGR port on the right side head into the closest header tube. I assumed this would still be there, but the new headers leave the EGR port exposed. Anybody else have to deal with this...

    getting new new hemi intake pushrods installed right

    If you have removed rockers, you know that installing the exhaust side is not too bad, but you need about 3 pair of hands to get the @##$% intake side installed because of the angle the pushrods sit at. They will often not locate into the cup of the lifter and will instead sit on the bottom...

    Hemi oil pump priming tool from Summit

    Had to be modified to work with a Melling oil pump, this mod would probably need to be made for all oil pumps. Finally Gen 3 owners have a way to prime their new build before it goes in the car. https://youtube.com/shorts/rPVHMgKdyO4 https://youtube.com/shorts/RqdfHWKCmLI Under $60 as I...

    Check your crankshaft reluctor wheel!

    I have a 5.7 based stroker in my drag car. It started getting very inconsistent. We took the motor apart and the bolt on reluctor wheel had come loose and you could move it 5-10 degrees! New reluctor wheel will be bolted in AND tack welded! If you plan on going over 6500rpm regularly like I...

    Which of the 2 remote oil filter ports on the side of the block is the send to oil filter and which is the return? Also, what would happen if you got these backwards?? Doesn't the filter have a 1 way valve in it?

    One thing that can cause a rough idle

    I've been having a hell of a time trying to get my 5.7 stroker in my drag car to idle. This is a new build, and I haven't done anything but start it up and idle it in the shop. Carbureted, open headers and a big cam. Thought the rough idle was due to the cam, but pulled plugs a couple of days...

    6-hemi ignition controller: Anybody using one?

    My 5.7 based stroker is carbureted and I'm using an MSD 6-Hemi controller. I assume the base advance curve is pretty mild and I was wondering if any of you have experimented with the curve and have something you like that doesn't have detonation. Thanks!

    Idler pulley problems

    My A-body Duster has manual steering, so I need to run an idler pulley where the pump goes. I bought a Mopar Idler Pulley Bracket (Part#)04593918AA and a plastic pulley that goes on it. They arrived today, installed just fine, but the bracket appears to be too long by about 1/4" so the pulley...

    Reference for serpentine belts

    I'm going to try to run the front end of my 5.7 hemi with no A/C, no alternator and no idlers on the passenger side. Just crank, tensioner, water pump and an idler where the power steering pump goes. I need a way to figure out what part number translates to the length of the belt needed. Thanks!

    Spark plug selection for high compression 5.7 stroker

    I'm getting close enough to having my Gen III Hemi 5.7 based 414 stroker done to think about getting spark plugs. I've been told to go 3 numbers colder than stock. The motor is 12:1 compression and will run a carburetor on 110 race gas. I don't want to spend the money on Brisk plugs, at least...

    Torque Strap instead of motor plate?

    For 5.7 stroker. Does anybody use a torque strap instead of a motor plate for a racing application? I understand that if I go with a motor plate I can't use the stock water pump. Thanks!
