Hemi install in '69 Charger

[geffen928]

Afternoon Gents....While I'm not close to this stage of my project, I'm wondering about the installation process of a Gen II Hemi in a '68-'70 B-Body.  I've seen lots of pictures of 440's being installed from the bottom.....Mounted on the K-Member raised as a unit into position.   This sure seems like the easiest way, but is there room enough to do this with a Hemi??  My guess would be yes.  Anyone have pictures???  As always, thanks in advance.

How they did it on the line, I'm sure it'll work just fine at home!

Yes.  The 426 Hemi head designers actually tilted the angle of the combustion chambers a little bit just to make it clear.

I agree - a little tight. Good to have a spotter on each side of the car to keep an eye on clearance.
