    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    For those not following along on my build thread, I'll highlight some of the G3 Hemi swap specifics here. Here's a quick background. 70 Duster I've owned since 1997. I use it as a cruiser, and autocross. It's got a 408 LA in it with solid roller cam, indbrock heads and port EFI made by yours...

    How to make your G3 alternator a 1 wire connection

    I'm sure most people that have gotten themselves into a G3 swap without using the factory ECM end up in a situation of having to make the alternator work. I know the old school voltage regulator is supposed to work, but what about the guys who want a clean engine bay? There is certainly an...

    LOJ Conversions - G3 to Nissan 6 speed

    There's a new option on the market for 6 speed conversions using the Nissan transmission. The kit seems pricey, but the transmissions are cheap, making your all in conversion much more affordable than a T-56 swap.

    Early 5.7 Hemi head porting

    There isn't a modern hemi engine specific forum so I'll post this here. Has anyone done some hand porting on the early 5.7 hemi head? If so, do you have before and after performance results? I'm working toward a swap on my car with a fairly low mileage 06 5.7. I started cleaning up a couple of...

    Should I make the swap to G3?

    I've been kicking around the idea of swapping to G3 lately, particularly since Holley came out with their parts for the A-Body. I'm looking for input to either talk me into it or out of it. I'll preface with describing how I use my car. I built the car to drive, and drive it hard. I drive 45...

    Opinions please- new hemi or 408?

    I proposed this question in my build thread but thought this section may be appropriate as well. I bought a complete 2006 5.7 hemi out of a cop car for crazy good price. I wasn't even in the market for it but couldn't pass it up. Now do I reuse my built 408 or use the hemi? I plan to use the...
