Hey all. Helping a fellow member with a 66 New Yorker(5.7hemi, 8hp). We had to modify the evaporator and as part of the job, the heater core and heater control valves, cables, and vacuum switch in the dash. We carefully labeled everything on disassembly and put everything back, but it was...

Sorry, it's a 66 New Yorker. Yes all the suspension is getting redone.

Hey guys. Tried a search but no luck. Are the sway bar link pictured here a stock set up and are they supposed to bent on one side? Obviously all of it needs replaced, just trying to fit the new engine and wondering if this is going to be different in the end any way.

Yeah. I think the modern hemi cars are right around 3.08 or high 2's. Should work pretty good with the older cars cruiser gears. I'll check the gears while I'm out there today

2.76 I think. It's just a family cruiser. It had a 400 with multiple issues and not economic to repair. For *about* the same money they are getting a 2017 drivetrain with 18k miles, and 5 more gears, lock up convertor, EFi etc etc etc.

There is significant differences to a 66 New Yorker apparently. We had to cut 2" out of the cross member under the engine to fit that same pan. His vintage air swap is something we considered as well to make plumbing the heat and air easier. But they don't make a kit, so more labor to make a...

I have all the swap stuff figured out already as far as control. Once its done I'll write it all up with pictures. This is not an easy swap for anyone thinking about it. Lots of crossmember and tunnel fab. I'm not a fan of the TBI units. Everyone of them is a step in the wrong direction from...

That sucks. I've had that happen more than once. I've had some other issue with Pertronix and finally gave up on them. I've had good luck with the MSD stuff, and on the odd ball stuff, have even machined a breaker plate to use the MSD (Knock off Duraspark) pick up and wheels with success.

Hey guys, New guy here. I'm swapping a 2017 5.7 8ZF into a 66 New Yorker. Its been quite the challenge to even get it between the frame rails, but we are there now and trying to get the engine into the correct position. Unfortunately the engine that was pulled was pretty bodged into the car, all...
