Inside the book
This guide shows you how to put modern Hemi power into vintage chassis. It's good if you're planning a swap or just want to understand the technical hurdles involved.
Joseph Hinds explains how to integrate 5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L, and Hellcat engines into various vehicles. The book covers the 20-year legacy of the new Hemi platform and why the current market makes these swaps more accessible than ever.
You'll find details on key hardware like engine mounts, transmission crossmembers, and headers designed for a proper fit. It also addresses practical concerns like oil-pan accommodations and oil-filter locations.
The guide covers the technical side of modern powertrains, including wiring, computer controls, and modern powertrain control modules (PCMs). You'll even find a section on programming aftermarket electronic fuel-injection (EFI) systems.
The book includes a specific example of fitting a modern Hemi into an early-1970s-era Duster. It's designed for anyone who wants to see what's possible with vintage Mopar performance.
Joseph Hinds is an automotive expert who gives you guidance on modern Hemi engine swaps.
