Re: Installing 5.7 Hemi in 64 Dodge



There is a lot of interest in this swap. As Herb notes, "kits" are available, though as usual, the kit I saw 
http://newhemiswap.com/b-body-conversion-kits.html
ignored the best b-body Mopars, '62-'65s. :) 

I know a '62-65 B-Body 426 Hemi Swap Kit is available from Schumacher Creative Services but I don't know if they offer a kit for the new Hemi. 

Here is a link that has a lot of links to review.  http://www.thehemi.com/newhemiswap.php

Keep us posted as to what you find out and if you decide to perform the swap.

Thanks,
Gary H.
