5.7 CA cuda project
« on: July 17, 2006 - 07:43:24 PM »
Hello all, its a long story but, after all these years finally a cuda owner! Its a 74 w/ a 318, soon to be a 5.7 500 hp hemi. found some interesting info on the web but it has to be clear what im in for. I know it will cost $$ but to me it is going to be worth it. Seems the auto tranny will be the main problem. I heard a 6 speed viper will work? That would be cool. Any input will help. Thanks
