Need some help - 1970 Hemi engine pictures

[70Sbird]

Hello all,
I need some help. I'm going to be swapping a Hemi in place of a 440 in a Superbird as described in a previous post. I have now accumulated the engine and a pickup truck load of new parts for the swap, mostly from Classic industries and Year One. My issue is this: I don't consider either of those vendors an great resources as to what is correct. I have already found where the owner bought what he thought was a correct part or decal, only to have it appear to be the wrong one based on the few pictures I have of Hemis in Superbirds. This is not going to be an OE restoration, since most of the parts I will be bolting together are reproduction, but I would like it to look as OE as possible (and Pettybird has already ID'd the wrong valve covers).
So...If anyone has some decent engine and/or engine compartment pictures of a 1970 Hemi in a B body (Superbird would be even better) that you could post or send to me I would greatly appreciate it. I'm mainly looking for correct wire and plumbing routing and paint colors of components.
Thanks In advance
Scott

just as a teaser, here is the engine when I picked it up last week,
I'll start a thread documenting the swap when it happens next month (or when I accumulate the rest of the parts)

Scott, I think one is pretty correct.    You will only need to do a little work to the inner fenders to make it like it really should be.    (These small changes will be an easy sell to your client.)

Thanks Doug!
I think he will have a lot of returns then! good thing those places have a liberal return policy!

Here's the engine compartment from my Buddy Pete's original Hemi 'Bird..

Looks like it doesn't have the correct valve covers. Balancer should be engine color - motor mounts were also on when the Hemi's got painted. I have a 70 Hemi car - will dig up some pics.

Scott, you may also wanna connect your negative cable and install your heater hose nipples, then paint accordingly once you've added what Jim has already mentioned. The rear heat cross over tube, if you're going to have them, that's attached to the passenger-side exhaust manifold, would be painted as well.

This might help

No No - Lot's of mistakes in those pics. Heater nipples should be installed after painting.....among other stuff.

Try this to start - I'll look for my pics.

Awesome - color Hi-resolution pics!
one other quick question, did the Hemi in a Superbird have a direct drive fan with a spacer or a clutch fan? I've now seen pic of them both ways.
Thanks again!

There was an engineering change about Nov 5, 1969 to change from a clutch fan to a solid fan to improve cooling. I know it applied to all 440 engines with auto tranny's but not sure about 426 engines. If there was a solid drive, the spacer will be coded on the broadcast sheet and a different fan will also be coded. My 440-6bbl spacer was 1851959 (59 on BS) and fan ( 7 blade, 18") was 2863223 (23 on BS)

I did mention installing the nipples earlier though.... Wish I would have found pictures of a '70. I have a '68 ( mine ), but that's a '68..........

Scott, sure going to look purty when you get it in...........

I took a bunch of detailed pictures of a survivor '70 Hemi Charger at a Mopar show a couple years ago. I'll post them This evening when i get home from work. It even still had the original plug wires on it!

Well, I thought I took a bunch of detailed pictures of the engine... guess I only took detailed pictures of the rest of the car.  Anyways, here are a few that I have.  Wish they were better.  You'll have to excuse the blurr on the pictures.  I remember I scratched the lens on my camera just before this show.  I'm not sure if the negative battery cable is mounted in the right location.
