The "Dyno Mule" Project

I wanted to showcase one of the arias this intake was designed for. The setup that was in my Cuda really was out of the realm of a basic swap. I wanted to show as much of a basic/off the shelf swap as I could. I decided to change the Cuda around just a bit to show about what to expect out of a basic build. I decided to build an engine and change the supporting components to beat on just for testing. These are the specs and my results but remember, this engine and setup wasn't put together to make 1000hp and change the earth's axis. It was done to show a real world simple engine swap with mostly off the shelf commercially available parts.

Specifications
The “Dyno Mule” engine specifications.
Engine: Freshened 2006 5.7L Hemi
        Heads: Stock unported early 5.7L heads with stock valves and springs to match the cam.
Bottom End: All stock 5.7L components down to the cast crank and factory pistons
  Camshaft: Factory 6.1L Camshaft and supporting components. Installed straight up to factory specs.
          Intake: Out of the box OCPerformance Parts LLC. carbureted early 5.7L intake manifold
Oil pan was replaced to a center sump for swap purposes but the factory un modified windage tray/gasket was used.
The front cover is the only thing that is not stock or commercially available but was retained for ease of my swap. The stock truck damper was reused and I still run a thermostatic clutch fan.

The rest of everything:
Exhaust: TTI 1 3/4 swap headers, 3" TTI Exhaust, 3" Dynomax Mufflers
Trans and Converter: 727 Transmission, 2500 stall 11" converter, A&A low first gear kit, A&A fully auto valve body, Red alto clutches kolene steels, 5 clutch front drum, 4.2-1 lever, ultimate sprag
Drive shaft: Denny's 3.5" aluminum drive shaft with 1350 u joints.
Differential: 8 3/4 rear differential, 3.55 ratio limited slip
Tires: 275 60 R 15 Drag radials rear 28" tall
Suspension: slant 6 torsion bars, 90/10 front shocks, Calvert bars with HD rear leaf springs, adjustable Calvert rear shocks.
Chassis: 1968 Barracuda Fastback weighs 3670lbs with a 350lb driver.
Ignition: MSD Hemi 6, regular stock copper Champion plugs for a 6.1L (1 heat range colder than 5.7L Plugs)Early coils and black Taylor shorty plug wires. Max of 22 degrees of timing. (not totally optimal timing but the MSD Hemi 6 has no knock detection so I am playing it safe.)
Carburetor: Varies-600 vac second Holley, 750 vac second Holley, 750 double pumper Holley

THE RESULTS!!!

The numbers change as I fine tune this combo, The current numbers are

Date: 4/18/2017 Picked up 12-14ftlbs at peak!

Chassis dyno:337HP@5500 344Ftlbs@4000

Carburetor: Adjusted but unmodified (still retains an electric choke and choke horn) 750 Double pumper was used.

Date: 6/26/16 First time out!

Track info: Island Dragway, Great Meadows NJ

Time and MPH: 13.23@104.06mph

DA: 2214

Carburetor: Adjusted but unmodified (still maintains an electric choke and choke horn) 600 Vac secondary Holley

The 60' time was only a best of 2.000 with the vacuum secondary 600 Holley. I have run a 12.98 with the 750 Double pumper and a better 60" but due to conditions was not able to back it up (only made 1 run). I am having a carburetor worked as we speak for a final dyno and ET test before swapping rear gears out to try and hit 12.50s or better. I am only crossing the line at around 4500 rpm so I can optimize the gear for quarter mile runs.

All testing and runs were done with high test E10 Pump gas.
