FOUND A DEAL ON NEW HEMI , CAN I MATE MY HEMI-BOX TO A NEW 5.7 HEMI ??

Isn't the late-model Hemi bell bolt pattern the same as the old "A" series engines? I believe I remember reading that it was. If that proves true, you should be able to mate the 833 with a small block bell.

what about flywheel and starter issues ?

I would contact Jamie Passon for the details of the swap:

The new Hemi's rear-block-face bolt pattern is similar to a classic Chrysler LA small-block (which is different from the B/RB big-block, 426 Hemi, or Slant Six). Old-school LA-engine automatics and manual-trans bellhousings bolt up (just leave out the top bolt). There is a slight 0.060-inch flexplate ring-gear misalignment due to the Hemi's slightly longer crankshaft offset. In theory, spacers/adapters are needed to make up the difference, but early installers (unaware of the difference) have reportedly just bolted everything up. The new Hemi has an eight-bolt crank flange, so old A-engine flexplates and flywheels can't be used. Mopar Performance is said to be developing a special flexplate for retrofit applications. In the meantime, you could use a stock eight-bolt 426 Hemi flexplate with a classic-style small-block neutral-balance torque converter by elongating one hole in the flexplate.

I have 4 speed . I think keisler makes a flywheel

As mentioned, you need the small block bell housing. From what I've read, it nearly a direct bolt-in using stock small block components. Check with Street & Performance because they've got just about everything you could need. In my opinion, the wiring is much harder than the mechanical stuff.

I would use the new intake with carb , only wiring would be for crank trigger , starter and senders . I'm really thinking about doing it
