Getting The HEMI Together

heybird426 · Oct 12, 2013

New bearings, new rings, new paint. It won't be long now.

Nice, looking good

Just a suggestion. How about using ARP mainstuds instead of using bolts. More stable, cheap insurance.

^^ you could do that but i dont think there necessary

moparleo · Oct 14, 2013

I guess so, since it is just a stocker.

Even Stockers tend to get abused occasionally...
Are they at least new replacements?

Thanks for posting. It never gets old looking at them.

Just checking to see if anyone else was reading this. With the cost to build any Hemi, I would only go with the best. But that's just me. Learned a long time ago that you never save money by going second best.

Thanks for the advice I just might do that.

Well it's just about finished, just a few more little things and it's ready to go.

Looking good. I've run Hemi's since 1980. No need for studs, Hemi's have Crossbolt mains, much stronger than a wedge and stock they'll handle double the horsepower of a wedge block.

Well I got four tires and she has touched ground at about 5:45 pm eastern time for the first time in about 10 years.

heybird426 · Jul 30, 2014

Started the paint process, so far everything is looking pretty good. Picking up more paint tomorrow to finnish the rest.

Very Nice....LOve watching it all come together!

Install the engine and trans from the bottom if you can; wont mess up that paint and you don't have to wrestle your starter and steering box around!

heybird426 · Jul 31, 2014

I was thinking about that. It really would be a lot more easy at this stage, Thanks

I have no way to put the HEMI in from the bottom so I'll just do it the old fashioned way. Just about ready to do that now, first a new timing chain and I'll be ready to go. Got the paint done and everything back together as far as this go's.
