russ7842 | Has anyone tried or contemplated installing one of the new Hemi's in the prowler. What's involved and how difficult will it be. Talk about a PROWLER!!! |
moparmania | Already in process . This is the car Chrysler should have built . The engine & computer is ordered ! I will post pictures of the progress . |
russ7842 | Please keep me informed. I am very interested in this. Thank you |
WildCat | I have asked the question since the beginning...hope not to burst your bubble and I hope you can make it work....BUT....the computer for the Prowler and the 5.7 Hemi uses a different processor ands isn't compatible. The transmission must get info from the engine computer to shift properly. I think this would make a great poll. WE NEED NUMBERS of the number of Prowler Owners that would be interested in making such a swap. ------------------ Larry & Sue Mayes |
moparmania | Did I Say 5.7 Hemi Computer . Not ! The only info any trans computer needs is speed sensor rpm & mph. Im sure i can pick that up somewhere . |
Doc-Man | Hi, About a year ago I spoke with the guys who put the 426 hemi in the Pt cruiser(www.hemicruiser.com) and they were going to do the same engine swap in a prowler.I don't know if it ever happened but they seemed to think that they could do it,no problem. I'm sure this would entail a lot of bracing and fabrication. I think they were going to use a viper tranny and a vette rear but I could be wrong since it was a year ago. They do know alot about hemi swaps and may be able to help. Just a thought. |
PROWLER-KEITH | I was wondering when you we're going to put a "Hemi" in one of these Kat's with all your other Hemi's it was only a matter of time, looking forward to the pics and updates.. PK |
russ7842 | To answer Wildcat's question, I would do the hemi thing in a second, assuming it works flawlessly, look professional and is not extremely expensive. I certainly like the idea better than a supercharger. Just think of it, A HEMI PROWLER. How much better can it get. Now when you open the hood, you have something to show that that we havn't seen in a long time. |
moparmania | Thanks for the vote of confidence Keith .. I will do this ! Flawless and professional Customization is what i try to accomplish in any of my work . I should have the engine between the frame rails by xmas . I will post pictures........... |
JRL | Good luck, really. Wish you great success. JRL |

I hope you can do this. Do not take what I posted as negitive.
Because of interest if you can make it work and duplicate the process with brackets and others needed fab work you could sell kits once it is done and proven.

moparmania | I will share all the info on this project . I just don't want to brag about this till its actually working . The way I see it the more prowlers with HEMIS in them across North America the more Brand x cars are Gonna Get Spanked!!! |
PROWLER-KEITH | I hope you post pics of the install as you progress.. There is no better sound to the ears than a "HEMI" roaring, and to hear that coming from a Kat gives me goose bumps just thinking of it. LOLPK |
Prowlin Doc | ok I am excited. anyone know what the outcome will be in terms of HP, 0-60, quarter mile.....? not that i could ever afford one but just want to know thanks bob |
