i might be buying a 5.7 hemi out of a 2008 durango will it bolt up to my 4-speed out of a 68 dart, where do i get a flywheel, moter mounts, headers, ignition and carb intake
#1. Goto your Dodge dealership and talk to the parts guy and see what he is selling 6.1 short blocks for..........my cost is $2200 and I believe $2400 is the list price from most aggressive re-sellers while $2600 is commonkowski71400 said:where can you get a 6.1 shortblock for $2600? i have a set of heads coming, so now i just have to figure out what i'm going to do for a shortblock. can you really bore a 5.7 .080 without hardblock?

If you have TTI's header for use with a stock K, they won't work with Bill's K. I used a stock K when I first started building my 6.1 cuda but didn't like the fit of TTI's mounts or their headers. Switched to Bill's AlterK and the 6.1 sits REAL NICE in the engine bay now. Then went with TTI's headers that Bill re-configured to go with his AlterK. The headers now fit REAL NICE also.
I DID want stainless, but TTI wouldn't build them that way (didn't say why). I'd be open to working with you on your design. If they come out real nice when you're done, I'd probably want to buy a set. You should probably offer them with both 5.7 OR 6.1 flanges. Let me know if you're interested. By the way, the TTI / RMS design slips up into (or out) of place from the bottom REAL EASY...

I wasn't asking if that would be a good option for performance. I was asking if they would fit I figured seeing as this is supposed to be a informative topic about how to do it cheaply but I don't see the point of spending over 700 bucks on headers if I could spend less then 80 for factory log manifolds for the just make it work factor. If I were to do a hemi swap into my dart it would only be because I could do it cheaply in stages.MomsR/T said:As for the truck manifolds...............we're in the business of performance 5.7 / 6.1 HEMI's and the cast iron exhaust logs just aren't what we're looking for and I don't think it would enthuse people to look deeper into our products if that was our answer for exhaust methods.
most likely, from what I've read, the truck manifolds will work...................however I'd take a very close look at the SRT8 Cherokee headers (real headers)....................I bet they'll work and are made of stainless and have a stock heat shieldMyCreation68 said:I wasn't asking if that would be a good option for performance.

What did you want them to tell you?USCG Charger said:TTi told me they were a perfect fit.

what's $900?MyCreation68 said:yeah I checked it out I'm looking at a minimum price for like 900 bucks even from makeitmopar.com(cheap dealer parts) so I think I'm just going to pass. I'll probably just keep with my turbo'd slant six idea not because of cost but because I can probably build a slant for about the same cost and still get close to 20 mpg.
