With the Mopar crossram I have to pull both motor mount bolts, Remove the master cylinder, The passenger side shock, Tilt the engine clockwise as far as it will go, Beat the shock tower all to hell with a bfh and then bend the valve cover all to hell to get it almost off. Then I remove the intake, Presto off it comes.
I would be happier if I could leave the intake on to accomplish this due to the fact that I am extremely lazy and usually drunk after a long day of racing and apparently the Hemi requires having the valve spring pressure check quite often. 8000 thru the traps does that.
Due to the above mentioned laziness and drunkenness I may put the four barrel back on it, Less chance of running a CJ in B/SA any ways but Dave Wren says real Hemi's have two carb's and he wont talk to me if I only have one. He is very stubborn about this!

Thanks for the links guy's, I'm planning on cutting the old bitch up this weekend based on those pic's. What do you think of shortening up to the wheelbase NHRA show's as legal? And you thought the SS/AH were altered. lol

Be sure to post the "after" pictures. I love it when guys cut up a perfectly good car. And Dave Wren is correct on the carb count.
