Modern 426 carb conversion in a 70 cuda
« on: December 08, 2016 - 07:25:49 AM »
Hi everyone,

This question may have been asked around but I could not find anything.

I have a buddy that has a 70 cuda and purchased on of the 600 plus horse power 426 hemis P5156139 is the p/n.

Since it's in a cuda he wants to run a card setup and has already purchased the carb and manifold. I have seen where people have said it won't work but I am wondering if we can use the hemi 6 ignition box with the original wiring harness.

If anyone has done a carb setup or knows if this will work with the hemi 6 or a different ignition box I am all ears. I have read somewhere (I cannot remember where) but it said something about the vvt? Can this but disconnected to make the hemi 6 work or because this is more a race type motor are these things not a worry?

thanks for your time

Paul
