The 6.1 is here
« Reply #15 on: October 04, 2012 - 12:16:47 PM »
Ok the hemi is here and I have a few questions for you guys right  out the box.

1. The oil pan/dipstick/sump location etc... Do we need a new oil pan? Looks like it may have clearance issues with the k-member.
2. Dash guages, what did you guys do?
3. Power steering pump ok for original steering box?
4. which engine mount bushings did you use?
5. Any issues arise that maybe noteworthy?

Where did you get your 6.1 hemi from I can't find one..is it a new crate motor? That's what I'm looking for

Yeah ,  .Its true if you are going with a Alterkation that a Charleys oil pan will work, but you are better off with a Bouchillion finned cast Aluminum oil pan part # 61RA860  ,  There is lots of options on the controller too ,Fast XFI, Mopar AEM ,Megasquirt, but be careful what you read on the internet,and magazines ,I found alot misinformation and opinions (especially about the ECM). I feel lucky in a way that Bouchillion Performance is down the street to ask them any questions in detail. They sell alot gen 3 hemi engine kits . I would call them or Arrington and ask because they would know, they do alot of custom ECM tuning ect. ect.    Save your self the headache . Good luck with your project http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=75207.0


Yeah John I gave jr a call and spoke with about crate motors..I learned a ton just talking to them guys..he said he sold you your 426 motor..I will be dealing with them shortly if I can't find something..

Oh no, what have you been hearing, and is it the crate 6.4, or the production one?
