thinking motor swap or selling :/
hey guys. im kinda stumped
im curious too know what id have to do to convert to fuel injected. i love carb and all but off roading and changing altitudes is annyoing with a carb. i was curious to know if anyone just randomly dumped a 360 or a hemi into there trucks and what they would need.
i have a 400 big block with a bunch of stuff and it needs a llittle work (cracked head i think)or else i would look into the msd fuel injection set up. but i also feel like my tranny is going aswell in first gear if i pin it after sertain rpm is will jerrk and **** i dunno what to do.
or i was thinking of selling and getting a cherokee or a jeep or 2nd gen ram

I'm actually working on a Hemi swap right now. I'll have to give you the details as things progress. As of right now I'm working with a 5.7L from an '06 Durango; the A518 bolts right up. The fuel injection system is a Holley HP EFI system. Currently, the motor is being cleaned up (heads and oil pan taken off to make sure everything is good to go). Next stop is paint (Hemi Orange).
I decided to have a couple other goodies added on like COMP cams and a new posi rear. Total, the cost is looking something like 8k.

I have a thread around here somewhere where I converted my '78 to fuel injection. Been running it that way for about a year now. Best mod Ive ever done. Ill see if I can find a link to it.

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...a-1st-gen.html Maybe that will work? If not, try searching, "2nd gen efi in a 1st gen"

Haha. I was trying to keep it on the DL, but I guess the cat is out of the bag now. I'd love to give you all an update, but I don't even know what's going on. I've tried contacting my mechanic, but he's not getting back to me. I know the motor is ready for paint now, but I have yet to see the thing. I'm getting impatient! I'll make sure to start a thread once I have all the details.
