Hemi swapped ’55 Junker

Looks awesome! Are you going to paint the car? I personally would keep the outside as is and make it 100% technically.

All small block transmissions bolt right up behind the new hemi engines. 904, 727, 518, no adapter needed.

I like the blower on top of the engine. Does the hood need a hole in it to make it fit?

The cab needs quite a bit of rust repair. I would like to finish out the body work and paint it eventually.

Thanks for the confirmation on the transmission. 727 will definitely be what I’ll run.

With my measurements it looks like the top of the blower and the injector hat will be through the hood.

I will be looking great with the blower throught the hood. Do you have an estimate of how much HP it will produce?

I’m thinking about putting a SC on the 6.4 however I’m not aiming for 800-1000 HP. 600 RWHP will be enough.

I honestly have no idea what to expect out of it. This is only the second Hemi I’ve owned and my first one (which I still have) was a stock 1955 270 c.i. Dodge Super Red Ram. I’d be happy with 600 h.p. but if it makes more that’d be even better. I just gotta keep from getting carried away with it. Would like it to be a dependable Aussie style burnout machine.

A burnout machine! That sounds great!
