The New Generation<br />
A MODERN DAY, HIGH-POWERED HEMI<br />
“I set this engine up to be<br />
totally streetable<br />
on pump gas.”<br />
Milodon does have a whole line of aftermarket pans<br />
and trays for the late-model 5.7 and 6.1L <strong>Hemi</strong><br />
engines. The windage tray is an improved design over<br />
factory steel gasket/windage tray, as it does a better<br />
job of shielding the crank from the splashing oil.<br />
Windage control is something that is rarely tested<br />
with the late-model <strong>Hemi</strong> engines, so Rickards was<br />
curious to see if it was worth any power.<br />
With a few late-model crazies already running in<br />
the 9-second zone, we asked Rickards if he thought<br />
this powerplant could ever propel our Charger project<br />
into the 9s. He said, “I set this engine up to be<br />
totally streetable on pump gas, daily driven even.<br />
Now, if Dimitri wants to go even quicker than this<br />
after it’s done, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve…”<br />
With it having 426 cubic-inches and heads that flow<br />
330 cfm, we don’t think power will be a problem, but<br />
Rickard’s ended the call with,“…but we’re going to<br />
need a bigger blower.” g<br />

4ATI sent us their Super<br />
Damper for this<br />
high-powered <strong>Hemi</strong> build.<br />
Some basic features<br />
include 360° laser-etched<br />
timing marks and they<br />
exceed SFI 18.1 specs. We<br />
ordered this one with<br />
5-percent overdrive, this<br />
way we can run the<br />
desired 12-pounds of boost<br />
without having to go<br />
too small on the<br />
supercharger pulley.<br />
4ARP supplied the<br />
fasteners for the<br />
buildup, including the full<br />
set of main studs for our<br />
Mopar’s beefy crankcase.<br />

Time To Drop It In<br />
Now that our K1 <strong>Tech</strong>nologies Stroker Kit is bolted in place, it’s time to drop the shortblock in the car (the<br />
top ends of these engines are assembled with the engine in the car ~editor) and assemble the top end. In<br />
the next installment of our “New Gen” <strong>Hemi</strong>, we’ll cover the heads and induction setup we’re using on this<br />
project, along with some real word dyno numbers from Vaca Performance’s Dyno.<br />
