before the swap I had about 24.5" to the top of the fender opening in front. I also upgraded from .88" t-bars to 1.03" t-bars. I have not set final ride height, but I'm at about 24.5" to top of fender. I'm using 235/45-17's up front and 275/40-17's in rear. Looks like the 15" tires are a...

Very much appreciated. I'll see if the OG dipstick can be made to work.

I bought them from Newark, but they are available from Amazon as well. The switch is a guitar amp slider switch (maybe $4) it does have a small green LED in the switch, which I wired to a variable LED dc to dc buck converter (about $1 on Newark) to control brightness. then I wired the DC to...

I have for sale an HVAC box from a factory air car. It was rebuilt recently and has all new foam added to the doors and the area around the tubes. it has a good heater core and an AC evaporator (unknown condition). The fiberglass where the doors are hinged from have been rebuilt and the doors...

Well, I've solved the interference problem, but the solution wasn't great. I ended up buying the Borgeson Box and still had to use the low profile Durango exhaust manifold. Also ended up cutting up the transmission tunnel as the bottom of the tranny pan was only 3 1/2" inches from the ground...

I'm hoping others can benefit from my "learning" experience.

The other issue i noted was that the engine was tilted down 6 degrees in the back, which would have been a lot for the drivetrain. now the tail-shaft is down 3 degrees. I'm optimistic that this will make for a more pleasant drive (no vibration). The last photo was taken before the sheet...

The trans tunnel required quite a bit of work. The photo below represents about 50 hours worth of work. For a fabricator, probably a good afternoon, but never having done it before, I was learning as I went. In the end, I'm glad I did the update. I would not have been happy if I got the car...

Update. I got to the point where I had all clearances fixed, had the steering box not hitting the exhaust and the engine in for what I hoped would be the last time. Then, I looked at the car from the side and noticed that the trans oil pan was very close to the ground. Once again, all the...

My engine was from a 2006, so I am planning on using the AC compressor that came with it. I had to saw off one of the casting lugs on the compressor, but figured that was an easy mod. It is ironic. I've been doing research for 2 years while my car was in the shop, and until I started looking...

Thank you for the feedback. I came to the same conclusion on the transmission mount. The last issue I have to resolve before I clean up my engine compartment is what steering to use. the Holley hits their cast exhaust manifold hard. I ordered a Borgeson steering box in hopes that it clears...

Good Morning all. I started a new forum post as I haven't seen some of the issues I'm encountering posted so I figured I'd share my experiences with you so you can hopefully learn without having to do this the hard way. First off, there are a lot of different combinations out there, so here is...

Update on installation. I'm now on my 3rd engine installation attempt. The Holley Cast iron manifolds do not seem to fit with the factory style Power Steering box using the Holley engine and transmission mounts. Some minor transmission tunnel massaging will be required. Looks like it's very...

I am interested to find out what you end up with. I'm currently putting a 2006 5.7L Hemi in a '73. I have the 8HP70 transmission. I'm using the Holley motor mounts, trans mount and ceramic coated cast manifolds (from Holley) and the Holley aluminum cast pan. I'm also using a Steer & Gear...

Glad to hear you got yours working. Update. Since then, I received the PWM LED driver as well. I am now able to dim the LED on the switch, which is super helpful for night driving.

I'm going through this swap now and have not yet completed it, but have done a lot of work and have the engine and trans hooked together on a run stand (pre-Eagle 5.7 and 8HP70 Trans) to work out all the wiring kinks. What rearend ratio are you running? The 545RE, NAG1, 8HP70 all have...

Mounting the radiator in rubber bushings is a way to reduce the loads on the radiator which improves life. Aluminum and soldered brass do not have an endurance limit. What that means is that the material will eventually fail no matter what load is placed on it. It may be years, decades, but...

Additional update. I did not know the history of the 2007 ECU that I purchased as I got it from Ebay. When I went into HP tuner, it was programmed as a 2007 Dodge Charger 5.7L ECU. However, it was throwing code P2533. I have a buddy at a local dealer and we tracked down that this error code...

I added 6 quarts to the Holley Mid Sump oil pan and the dipstick showed right in the acceptable range. It did not have to be re-marked.

I've got the Holley blackheart cast manifolds with ceramic coating. the dipstick barely clears the back of the longer starter, but it snakes almost directly up from the block. It attaches to the valve cover. I did have to do a little adjusting, but overall, I'm happy with the fitment. I...
