    Using the factory hemi oil pan

    Motor platform doesn't matter, all interchangeable. And yes the MOPAR rear sump kit is cheaper than the Holley or Mildon pan kits. But to my knowledge only Holley makes the Midsump pan (works well with stock suspensions and K frames). Only drawback is whether or not it fits your needs. Caveat...

    Using the factory hemi oil pan

    Cars are front sumped, trucks are rear sumped. Holley makes a nice mid sump pan as another option. Pans really aren't all that expensive to get the one that'll suit your needs.

    Hemi swap questions

    Yup Chris knows his stuff. My current swap is a 6.4l 8hp70 going into a 55 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon. It has 3.53 gears, so i'll see how that works out. Another source for the 8HP's is Russell at Sound German Automotive, I'm using his swap harness this time for the 8hp and a Mopar...

    Hemi swap questions

    You do....But give Chris a call at HOTWIREAUTO.COM and discuss it with him. He has what ya need and can tell you more about the NAG-1 swap. Me personally, I switched to a 545RFE out of a 2wd truck or Durango. No "extra" donor vechicle parts required.

    Rotisserie help

    Looks like you need to raise the back riser up further (where you see the roller). Front looks to be at least 2 or 3 holes higher than the rear.

    I've got a 512 stroker(440 Source) 6_barrel set-up and am wanting to go EFI. Motor should easily make over 600 HP (limit for the Fitech) so I am looking at the F&B set-up. For the F&B setup. what engine management system did you use? Other than fuel system upgrade, what "additional" pieces did...

    Need wiring advice with Hotwire Auto Harness

    Not sure on which wire on the factory harness. I would use a volt meter and test each one for constant 12v while turning the ignition key. Again the ones I've wired weren't factory harnesses. they were universal GM style. So for a universal Harness the 12v ignition feed is a large guage pink...

    Need wiring advice with Hotwire Auto Harness

    From their instructions 3. Pink (12v Run and start, ignition key on position) – This wire needs to be taken to the Ignition switch “On” or “Run” position. It is important that this maintains an unbroken connection to 12v while moving the key to the start position. 4. Yellow (12v in Start...

    What transmission to plan on using?

    I can understand using a 518 IF....IF you are going to stay with a traditional small block i.e. 318, 340, 360. But since as you mentioned you're looking at installing a modern 5.7L Hemi, then WHY would you want to take a step back and install an older style/functional transmission. Get the...

    What transmission to plan on using?

    He did say without breaking the bank, lol... BTW my 545rfe for the 5.7l came with the motor ($3k for the whole setup), so no added cost, the 6.4l setup, I bought a used one for $550 and had it rebuilt for $1000, so.......fairly cheap. Oh and the truck CPUs have the TCM integrated into it...

    What transmission to plan on using?

    Your decision will be based primarily on what engine management/wiring harness you decide to use. The MOPAR harness is designed for standard transmission, and aftermarket harness from someone like HOTWIREAUTO.com can be had for either the 545RFE, NAG-1 or 8spd autos. HOWEVER...... the NAG1 and 8...

    360 vs gen 3 hemi

    Hard no......Expensive? Eh a bit more than a conventional small block, but there is some "simplicity/safety" that comes with it by way of modern computer controlled tuning and such. The CPU adjusts timing and fuel at the micro sec level without any input from you. A traditional stroker small...

    Fuel Tank Requirements?

    Not to beat a dead horse, but...... If it is not in fact a baffled tank, I personally would just buy one that is (plus no "extra" lines to plug). Tanksinc sells them for under $400. My friend had a conventional tank with an EFI pump setup and even driving around town if he was down to about a...
