Thanks Ms April..... Pics will be comming soon. The pics that Burpin has are too big for this forum.


April did ye get Burpins PM on the wing and pedestals. Burpin is tryin to send some denaro ye way.

[AprilsPink72Cuda]

Hey Burpin, no, April didn't get yer PM.  I can give you a call if ya want.  Also, if you email your pics to aprilpaonessa@aol.com I can resize and post them for ya. 

[Burpin Chunks]

Burpin tinks a call would be nice.... Burpin was wondering how ye faired on the business venture ye were looking into. And the pics are on the way.

[AprilsPink72Cuda]

No problem Burpin, just tell me when ya want me to call.

Hey Burpin, welcome back and congratulations on the new youngun!

As far as the 5.7 swap goes, TTI has headers and motor mount adapter plates which basically makes the job a bolt in affair. The new hemi has the smallblock bell housing pattern so a smallblock bellhousing will bolt up okay. The crank has an 8 bolt hub so you will have to find an 8 bolt flywheel. I don't know if the factory one will work okay in your application or not. Kiesler has put together a 5 or 6 speed swap so they will have a lot of info and the parts for a manual tranny swap, you might give them a call and see what they can help you with.

Don't sell that 5.7 short when it comes to power, a cam swap and a good set of full length headers will put the horsepower up over 400!

Welcome back. Was kind of wondering why you hadn't been on in a while. Street and Performance in Mena, Arkansas has a lot of stuff for the 5.7 conversion and Milodon just came out with an oil pan for the 5.7 to fit in an e-body.
I plan to put a 5.7 in one of my Cudas some day. I officially have 4 of them now. Might replace the 5.9 in my wife's cuda with a 5.7. She sure loves that fuel injection and overdrive. It's like driving a brand new car.

[Burpin Chunks]

Yall are too kind to Burpin.... Burpin plans on getting back in the groove of things.

Ms April... ye can give Burpin a call anytime. Burpin is awaiting.

Weclome back BC, congrats on all your recent good fortunes.

Congratulations Burpin!

Barry has to wonder if he could have a kid if he sold his Cuda and stayed away from the site for a while....

Not likely, but fun to think about.
