My Hemi swapped Foxbody build

[blown89lx]

So heres the motor mount blanks i made tonight. These bolt to the block. Once i get a chance at home i will use wood to mock the rest. If im happy with it next step is just cutting and welding the metal.

 

[greasy]

Holy shit this is cool and something different. I love it!

Just to show you how clueless I am about Hemis......I was surprised to see 16 spark plugs.

 

[blown89lx]

Thanks i will do my best to keep updating.

 

[RICH17]

This is badass!!

 

[BS ISF]

very unique and cool build!!!!

 

[jvert]

Awesome!!!! now figure out the kinks and bugs so I can drop one into a c/10

 

[Euro]

Very interesting.

Oil pan gasket arrived! Crazy design with windage tray all one piece.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

its not that crazy nowadays lol, its cheap and fast when you can make one part have two functions (or 3 if its an integral oil passage gasket)

take note of how its molded, often the scraper knife edge isn't ideal and could use some touchup

Yeah i will take note, thanks for the heads up

Still better than a ford motor.

The stock bottom end hemis have weak rods, it breaking in stock forms means i need another block.[/QUOTE

You would be surprised what these bottom ends are capable of. I personally know of 2) 5.7's that are running superchargers one guy at 9lbs and the other at 6lbs with no issues after a couple of years. They don't beat the snot out of them but do have some fun. I know a bunch of turboed 6.1's running between 9-12lbs and a couple of them are beat on like no tomorrow and holding up. Can't wait to see the progress of this build.

Thanks for the info. I guess for now all im hoping for is a running motor and trans. Once all the bugs are worked out i will go from there.

This should be fun to read from start to finish!

Awesome!

Interesting swap. I am slowly becoming a hemi fan. I wonder what a cam swap does for these motors.

I own one and had no idea...

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

exhaust note should be wonderful

 

[blown89lx]

Dont mind the orange paint on the valve covers fish eyed on my so i stopped.
Well motor mounts are made and installed, they need some more bracing but fitment is good. Trans is close but needs some massaging.

But there it is under its own weight, getting closer

Egr delete

 

[blown89lx]

Bad news with my trans

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

it always pisses me off when places pressure wash Transmissions

 

[blown89lx]

That what u think it is? I thought coolant

 

[blown89lx]

Few updates

 

[06noscobaltss]
