5.7L Hemi stroked to 392 in 1968 charger

[mikes68charger]

How many of you are running this and how many would want to?

I know I have been off this fourm for some time. Lost motovation im my charger and the 9 mounths it spent in the body shop did not help any. Well I been working on this car since I was 19. All I could afford was a mild buld 360 motor. Well now I have good freands that are helping me build a 5.7L basd 392 stroker.   If anyone on this site has done a 5.7 new gen swap I have a few questions,

1. I was hopeing to use 6.1L /SRT-8 manafolds for will these fit? Or do I have to use the TTI headers, Are TTI headers the only ones that fit our rides?

2. Oil pan, I heard If I use a truck pan It will fit a b body with no mods? If not what brand do you recomend?

3. How did you wire the altonator to work?, I already have the computer timeing taken care of.

4. Motor Mounts?

I am building a full size '83 Jeep Cherokee Laredo right now using a 4BT Cummins. Can't say I would want one in a muscle car though.

Be careful when hopping up the 5.7 hemi.  I think it uses powder metal rods.  I think the rotating assembly on the 5.7's tend to detonate at approaching 500 hp.  I think they use different parts in the 6.1.  Also, I think the 5.7's use cast, hyper eutectic pistons too.  Great engine.  Don't get me wrong.  I have one in my truck.  But just be careful.

You need a "center sump oi pan and pickup tube" to clear the k member @ the front of the oil pan and the steering linkage at the rear of the oil pan. Call Charlie Gluck. He designed the 5.7 L HEMI, which is in the new MOPARS currently. Summit Racing sells a carbureted "turn-key" 5.7 L  HEMI for 7895.00
as a crate motor ! 1-800-230-3030 for tech help.
Charlie Gluck is at  hemidart@hotmail.com and phone # is:  727-842-9803

He has been great help with my DUKTONA project (featured under Aerocars)

Truck oil pan will not work - as fas as i know it is a rear sump design and will hit every steering component...    they also hang insanely low  (helped a buddy install one in a 69 barracuda) - call up Charlie's oil pans and tell him what you need

Motor mounts can purchased from TTI along with their headers (as far as i know manifolds wont fit)

The alternator will fry your ammeter...     replace with a volt meter or bypass all together and run heavier gauge wire to the battery so it wont fry

bingo....
