Stage V Hemi
« on: May 28, 2006 - 02:36:50 PM »
Anyone have any experience with the Stage V Hemi's?  I ask because I'm putting a Hemi in this fish one way or another and it seems that there is considerable cost savings going that route.  Yeahs....nays?  Let me know what you know.  THanks guys and gals!   ???

Stage V engineering is know to make some of the best Hemi parts
 you can use a True Hemi block & use their regular parts or modify the 440 block & use thew conversion kit , the conversion causes some issues in returning the oil to the pan from tha heads & the block has no return port in it , but the coversion does work

I've talked to the people at Stage V and the backorder list is 3 months long.  It's a fairly inexpensive way to put a hemi in your car with the price for the kit being under $4000.  I was shocked and wanted to order it when I heard the price.  Instead I got added to a very unformal list. 

So, do I wait for the kit and make a 440 hemi or just bit the bullet and pay for the 496" Banning street hemi? 

Maybe I shoud build a shop instead.  Kinda like the cart before the horse.  Besides, I need to do some more fishing.  The kings are running almost as hard as my boat is.
