5.7 Hemi into EH ute

By BrennoEH 06/09/10@00:07 Shed 2790

Got the approval on friday for a 5.7 into the old girl
Got me thinking about doing something different
Did some research and these things have retained the old gearbox bolt pattern, so lots of box choices
Better part of $10,000 for a long crate motor though....what the hell it's only money

Wide Hemi

Ted, See if you can find some physical dimensions for the Hemi as I reckon they would be WIDE. I like the idea of looking outside the square for engines and not sticking to one brand or engine type. One engine I've looked at is the Nissan VK56 5.6litre quad cam V8. It's really wide like the Hemi. They're used in SUV's so are available in 2wd and 4wd.

Hey Scott
I could only find length and overall height, couldn't find a width, it is a 90 degree though so width could be an issue

One of my customers specialises in supercharger and turbo kits for Chrysler cars and quite often has 300C's in the workshop. I'll see if I can get some info, pics, dimensions etc.
Things like what side the starters on, where's the oil filter, sump type ie cast alloy or steel, front or rear pan. Exhaust port angle can influence how easy a set of headers will fit as well.
I'll let you know..

That would be much appreciated
Last thing I would want is even if we can get it to fit is for probs down the track like the guys that fitted 1UZ Lexus V8's
