Happened to my brother in laws at around 1500 miles. I believe it was a 2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Pretty truck though.

Just for info if anybody needs and old hemi. My friend has several plus triple nickel heads in houston for sale. He is selling his whole shop.

dfrank · 09-02-2014, 09:32 PM

When my uncle was restoring his 66 k20 he bought a 65 c10 for the cab and it had a 392 hemi in it. Still have the motor and he wants to put it in a willys coupe. There is a guy in Pittsburgh PA selling an original 426 hemi. Just wait for it though.........he wants $10,000 for it and it doesn't run.

Sell your Chevy, go find a 60's Dodge and put your Hemi in that. You'll be happier.

70blackfish · 09-26-2014, 07:58 PM

well looks like its a go on the 6.4...480hp stock 500hp with a little tune.
it will have a 5 speed auto trans with double OD. and my truck weighs about 600lbs less than a challenger.
the plug and play is a little more than LS motors....but the good is this motor has only 2k miles on it.....makes the swap worth more to me...

I have no idea. I found it on google. Most likely into something that will move fast! Lol

Dodge just announced a new sale on all Hemi Motors.

They are giving away a Free Puppy Dog with every purchase.

So you will never have to walk home alone again.

I'd give my eye teeth for a 348 or 409, alot cooler in my book...

I rode in a 64 Impala SS dual quad 409 4 gear and 4.56 rear car when I was 15
back when it was new. Planted my butt into that passenger seat!! Smoked em' all the way thru 3rd. That started my quest for more and more power. Had a 67 hemi GTX for awhile, a 70 Chevelle LS6 and eventually a 2006 Charger Daytona with the 5.7 hemi. The old 67 hemi was brutal and the newer hemi more refined. I'd luv to drive a new Challenger with the hellcat 707hp mill but I don;t think my ticker could handle it! LOL!!

Hubscrub · 09-28-2014, 03:56 PM

I like the idea, dare to be different.

70blackfish · 10-27-2014, 02:02 AM

Now your talkin

no use in not being able to tell it what to do

no1udknow · 10-27-2014, 09:42 AM

Just kidding ;-) LS motors are like Tiger Wood's D#$&....they get stuck in everything.

. I always wonder why us Chevy guys are so keen on sticking LS motors into everything else, but we go ape $#%t if someone wants to heart transplant into a Chevy, I say go for it.

70blackfish · 09-14-2015, 01:53 AM

its in, and its been in for a while....

trac209 · 09-14-2015, 10:02 AM

I'd rather see a newer hemi then yet another LS transplant. LS is a fine engine but they aren't the best engine ever built.

70blackfish · 09-14-2015, 10:42 AM

this is when they were new, before the hemi install...

I happen to love the LS motors. I think the are great. But that doesn't mean this one isn't too. Heck ever the ferds got some killer packages recently.
I can't wait till next year the Cadillac is supposed to come out with a factory twin turbo setup. That's what I want to see in one.
But more power to whoever chooses to do whatever they want to do in "Their Truck".

indymachinist · 09-14-2015, 12:54 PM

Good for you for doing what you want and not worrying what the haters say. I had to put up with a lot of that same thing with my Mazda swap. Any more pictures or details?

summitflier · 09-14-2015, 04:07 PM

I've installed a few Gen 3 Hemi's. None in a C-10 yet. Nice job.
Done some Ford's and GM big blocks and small blocks. Sometimes
I think I may be the only guy on here that's never done a LS install.
