1970 Challenger 5.7 Hemi & TR6060 Swap Part 1: Hemi Removal, Teardown, and Clean-Up

- In this episode I pull the engine from the Durango and begin breakdown and clean. Had a quick set back trying to remove the crank pulley.
This is a 1970 Dodge Challenger and I'm swapping out the small block for a Gen 3 5.7 Hemi out of an '05 Durango. I'm upgrading the transmission to a TR6060 6-speed manual from a '15 Challenger R/T.

Just an FYI to anyone using an MDS engine. You don't have to remove the solenoids or the lifters. It will simply operate in V8 mode when the solenoids are not energized.
Very cool, I like seeing videos like this that show people diving in, getting dirty and learning new things as they go. Keep'em coming
Thanks man, will do! Sometimes you just gotta jump in there and try things out.
Man that’s a beautiful Challenger!
One of the best tutorials I've been seen,congratulations Barry just did an awesome job and will follow your progress,please keep on the updates please
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I’ve always been a Chevy guy but lately I’ve began to have an appreciation for the old school Mopars. I am in search of either a 72-73 cuda and roadrunner and begin an engine swap. Thanks for you videos.
That’s awesome, I’m glad my videos can help and those years of Cudas and Roadrunners are very cool. l myself like a little bit of everything too, Mopars, Chevys, Fords, too many cool cars to stick to one brand!
Super awesome video!!
I can't wait to see this whole build going through. Might have to learn from you and do a Hemi swap into my jeep!
A Hemi swapped Wrangler would be sweet! Would definitely be a beast of an engine for your rock crawling.
@@noboltsleftbehind thats what I am thinking! I'll have to watch your whole build and see if its something I can tackle myself!
That looks like a real fun project!
Subbed the channel a while back. Just getting time to dig in. Great stuff here!
How did I just find this series! I’m currently doing a 5.7 in my 73 Challenger! Awesome car, awesome videos! I’ll be watching them all!
Thanks man, good luck on your build! I'm absolutely in love with how this engine runs in Challenger, you're gonna love it.
@@noboltsleftbehind thank you sir, I can’t wait to get it running! What seats do you have in there? I love the look and want to copy 😆
@@OnederElite they're Corbeau LG1 seats in leather. I really like them! They're surprisingly comfortable on long drives and the bolsters are super supportive in corners.
@@noboltsleftbehind thank you. Yea, I’m scared the factory seats will just let me slide all over the place when doing “spirited” driving. Were they a pretty straight forward install or did you have to fab up some brackets?
@@OnederElite yes, the sliding around was what made me want aftermarket seats. They're also a good bit lighter over stock. I did fab up some brackets, it was pretty straight forward but I think Corbeau sells pre-made ones for E-bodies.
That's a beautiful machine!
Thank you sir!
Awesome!! I’ll be binging these today!!!
That a car on my dream car list
Hey Barry, found your channel and love the content. Thank you for taking the time to make them, I'm sure you have helped a lot of people. I also have a 1970 Dodge Challenger 340, 4 speed and I'm at the cross roads of which way to go with it. Right now the engine and trans are out while I'm trying to fix some firewall damage from a previous accident to the drivers fender. The car was restored poorly and I'm redoing most of it. It has a plethora of issues and one of them is the drivetrain, it cannot get out of its own way, but that's another story. The first video I watched was your Hemi cost breakdown and my first thought was, how did you know which parts to use throughout the retrofit? What you did to your Challenger is extremely interesting and cool and could be an option for my car. I live in Colorado and we are at altitude 7000 ft and we have a lot of problems with vapor lock using todays gasoline so taking long road trips is out of the question. Having a viable solution such as your retrofit is definitely a good option.
I have never done a retrofit like that before and have no idea where to start. I have the skills to do it but not the experience retrofitting cars. So, throughout your videos you keep saying, I used this, and then I used this, and then this. How did you know which parts to use and what works with what? You do a great job showing the parts you used and costs but what about part numbers? If someone wanted to recreate what you did, do you have a list of part numbers for all the parts you used? Id love to see the car in person and speak with you about the process, etc. Do you allow your UA-cam viewers to come see it? Ill be in los Angeles for two weeks in October 2022 and Id love to come see the car. My email is tamie.nick@sbcglobal.net. I restore vintage Thunderbirds and I also have a UA-cam channel.
One more question, why didn't you supercharge it? I think there are Paxton superchargers available for that engine. I guess it would crowd up the engine compartment a bit. I watched your part 1 video today and will continue on through the whole series in the next week. Anyway, thank you again for your videos, great stuff.
Thanks! I'm glad my series can help you with your project. Fitting the Hemi engine itself in the Challenger was actually pretty straightforward, no real modification needed. As for how I knew which parts to use, just tons of research online. I've done a few modern motor swaps in the past, so I have a bit of experience setting up EFI fuel systems and things like that. For the most part though, you'll be able to find off-the-shelf parts to put the engine in. There was a bit of trial and error, but for the most part the swap went really smoothly. I did keep a list of parts, I think some of them should have a part number. The 6-speed transmission was more difficult, but that just needed a bunch of fabrication to make fit.
I do frequent car shows down here so let's chat and we'll see if we can meet up at one to check out the build!
To answer the question about why I didn't supercharge, just cost really. Same reason I didn't put in a 6.1 or 6.4. It was very much a budget build and I was ok with the power level that I got out of it (for now). I might look into a power adder down the road.
Thanks for a great series of videos! I am doing the same swap on my 70 Roadrunner. I am using the same small Borgeson PS box. Can I ask you what you did as far as power steering hoses? Thanks again, your video's have helped a lot!!!!
Thanks! I ran steel braided PTFE -6AN hoses for both high and low pressure. You can grab a couple of adapters from Borgeson to adapt the in/out of the box to -6AN (make sure you get their adapters, others will bottom out) and an AN to barbed adapter with some low pressure hose for the return. On the high pressure side I had a hose builder cut and flare the oem steel tube that plugs into pressure side of the pump with an AN adapter. No pressure reducers needed, the pump I use (oem pump from my ‘05 Hemi 5.7) is a good pressure for the Borgeson box.
Awesome channel!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
@@noboltsleftbehind check out my Diecycle if you get a chance 😀
So I’ve watched every video on this building and I plan on doing about the same to my 72 Scamp, I’m just wondering if you ever mentioned what gear ratio you’re rear end is.
Nice, good luck with your swap! I installed 4.10 gears, with the 6-speed I think they’re perfect for a street car. I still cruise at around 2k rpm at 70mph.

Where are you getting your intro and background music?
It's my own band's music actually from a few years back. We still have the tracks posted at soundcloud.com/thecircuits . I'm the drummer
@@noboltsleftbehind kool if youtube allow you link in it in everything video
No bolts left behind, quick question what rear end I can use on my built I got a 2015 5.7 hemi with an 5 speed auto tranny?
Which type of car do you have? If it has a Mopar 8 3/4 rear end like mine that should be plenty strong for your setup.
@@noboltsleftbehind I'm building a 70 challenger like yours, that it have to be sure grip?
@@noboltsleftbehind B body or E?
@@JuanDominguez-nw8rq E-Body
@@JuanDominguez-nw8rq Awesome, in that case it's likely the stock rear end is already pretty strong, most E-Bodies came with the 8 3/4. A Sure-Grip is highly recommended for your power level and for increased tire smoke 😉. I ended up using a TrueTrac but I had issues with mine (as others have) so I'd go with the Sure Grip for sure.
I live in Long Beach. Can you do a swap for me? I would pay you.
