hemi for my cuda
« on: February 12, 2006 - 11:26:37 AM »
last april I bought a 72 cuda
it has a 6 banger in it
now I found a hemi
what kind of things will I need for the transplant
besides the exhaust and tranny
also got the four speed and new exhaust from the same guy I got the motor from
I am a chevy guy and know a bunch about chevy's
but the cuda I am a bit in the dark with
can't wait to get this thing up and running
hopefully this thing is gonna be the quickest car I'll have ever owned

Bigger rad , you can bolt the Hemi to any V8 K frame With Scuhmaker mounts bu tyou will have to change the K frame to a V8 at least , there is also a repro Hemi K available , I would swap to .96 torsion bars in front as well

Is this an old 426 engine, a Crate Hemi, or a Magnum style Hemi?  Just wondering?   ???    :cooldancing:  ....Oldschool
