NON SMB- Hemi in old Dodge van

[Pntyrmvr]

Hi,

Somebody in here wanted to see a modern Hemi in an old Dodge van.

I took these this summer at Vanfest. The van cruises effortlessly. Ice cold air thanks to a huge remote mounted condenser.

Great mileage according to the owner Ron. He used a truck motor and even kept the catalytic converters.

All done in his shop for a customer who then sold it back to him years later.


Be well.

I guess that is one way to fix the vapor lock issues

I have a 1981 Broughm Dodge 440 (21 ft)

I ran in to Ron and his 1977 B200 with Hemi power last weekend at Vanfest.

The rear quarter panels were covered in rubber shreds.

He was at the local drag strip on Saturday.

Found this old heap in my driveway.

It's in. And runs.

great upgrade. I have an old 1979 chassis 1981 Dodge Broghum (21 ft). The biggest problem is the new gas vapor locking and un-rebuildable Carter AFB

Shoehorn doesn’t really touch on how snug that swap appears. Did you build or buy an “install kit”? Very cool regardless!
