HEMI Tech- General parts and info resources

Okay! Pressing on until you vote these away...

The most important thing is where to find info and parts to build your Mopar super Hemi! Let's post any info you may have here. Venders, machine shops, tech places, boards, etc. Any place you can turn to until it's all posted here on the HAMB. Your welcome to even include your OWN info if you think you have some answers or a service that would help someone get their Hemi built.

I'll start with some links from Victory Library. Panic has a great website with lots of info. Great books on other topics as well. Here's his site:
http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/hemi-c.htm
Here's the links for your quick reference. Please add more if you have them. Resources and vendors only! Your experiences with these places would also help for reference, I suppose.

These guys do a great job on ANY vntage engine....

 

Scootermcrad; Thanks for the mention. Address you list is from the earlier printing of the Tex Smith/Ron Cerridono book. Correct address for Wilcap is;
P.O. Box 763 Pismo Beach CA 93448. email link is on website.Thanks again.

 

Great! Thank you very much for the update! These guys will appreciate it!

I'm going to do a tech posting on adapters and related items soon. It would be great if you guys could add some info to that when I put it up. You guys are great providers for this! Thanks again!
Scooter

 

Another great resource for Hemi info is of course this website...

http://thehemi.com/

Also this one...

http://classichemi.com/

 

Some general info about what fits in and on Early Hemi's...

http://www.sweptline.com/tech/engine4.html

This site is mainly about engine-swapping into 60's pickups, but has good info nonetheless.

 

Hey, just an update for you guys. Just in case you guys like PAW as your Hemi parts source, they FINALLY got an on-line catalog. Haven't had a chance to look through it yet...

http://www.earlyhemiengineparts.com/

 

Some more links for you guys...

Hey - TR Waters is on the HAMB: http://66.154.44.164/forum/member.php?u=22793

Clay Smith Cams for reground camshafts...

 

I rad across some general specs for 354 Chrylsers on this page, and just thought I would throw the link up. Maybe it will help someone.

http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/603.cfm

 

Anouther to add, i have it printed in my archives somewhere, is an artical on machining alum 440 rods to use in a 392, it was on here back in '03 so it could have been in some of the lost forever HAMB though

 

Shaggy, if you can find it, post it under the "cranks and rods" section for all to see! That would be a good one man!

 

I stumbled on this site for Dodge poly and hemi info. Thought maybe this might help someone.

http://www.townwagon.com/

 

Hi Scooter, Just an update to your list;

hemi.parts@yahoo.com

Thanks

Gary

 

Thanks Gary! The boss still hasn't worked out the "EDIT" key issue so I haven't been able to add it. Sorry about that! As soon as it's fixed I'll get you updated on this thread and the other one as well.

 

Just adding this website that sells shop manuals. They had every year I threw at them, some of them are priced reasonable, some are pricey, but I'm guessing they should have engine maintenance information in each:

Thanks to LisaCarrieAnn who posted the thread with the link.

 

New camshaft people added to the list!

CONTRERAS CAMSHAFTS....

He goes by "Ron In the SHOP" on the HAMB. I'll get more info on address and contact to add to the listing.

 

Scooter, here's another for you to ad. They did the special cam grind on our '56 Dodge 315 Poly cam. Great customer service, they spent 45 minutes on the phone with me to discuss what I was looking for in my cam grind and what suggestions they had for me. They sell and deal in all aspects of valve train components and even some collectible and accessories:

Thanks for posting up Jay, I asked in the camshaft and valve train tech section if anyone was running a schneider grind.

 

Lsgun, I posted the specs and such on the cam thread.

Jay

 

Kisam posted this on another thread. VERY helpful for general stock Chrysler tune-up specs...

http://www.carnut.com/specs/gen/chry50.html

 

Added another Hemi parts place, thanks to Kerry and a couple other HAMBers that provided the link...

Rev Engineering. They have a few cast parts as well as an oil pump adapter that seems to be getting good remarks.

http://hemireveng.net/Default.aspx

Hope a few people can provide some feedback on their products.

 

Hi
I want to post an ad for a swap for a set of 6&3/8" long spark plug tubes for a set of Imperial 5&7/8"or 6" long ones,but can't figure out how to do it.
Afraid to admit that I am not to good with this sort of thing.
Thanks,Ron

 

Ron

Thats OK we all start someplace. Go to the main page
(here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=45 then click on parts for sale or wanted. You will be able to list this in parts wanted or parts for sale seeing how you want to trade.

 

Updated a couple numbers and contacts. It's been awhile since I've had any requests for updates or additions.

If any of you have updates for any of the contacts, or have anyone that can be added for a resource to the list, please send me a PM and I'll add/make changes as needed.

Thanks!
S

 

try, clipsandfasteners.com for various grade-8 studs, go to sub heading studs, then exhaust and manifold studs, they have double ended studs for rocker covers 5/16 coarse thread at base 5/16 fine thread at top, 3" long that suit the aluminum rocker covers i manufacture, they have quite a few different lengths available, various other diameters as well, cheap too.

 

I'll add my place to the list:
