Has anyone here installed a 5.7L hemi into an A-body Mopar?
I have a 68 barracuda coupe I'm designing and have leaned towards a 360/904/8.75 setup. However with the thoughts of pro-touring it I have started to wonder about the smaller hemi.
How do the outside demensions of the 5.7 compare with the early 360? I didn't want to go big block (383) because of the cramped fit and the need to do away with some nice accessories.
Also I would like to stick with an automatic trans. What options are there for the 5.7 or the 360 for that matter, should I stay with the 360 idea.
