Thinking Hard about moving my 37 to buy FFR

[hkestes]

Currently have an all Mopar 37 Plymouth coupe and possibly looking to send it down the road to free up funds for a FFR 33 Hot Rod or 35 Hot Rod Pickup. Thing is I am a die hard Mopar guy so no way I would build one and drop in a small block Chevy or Ford. It would have to have a 360 Magnum or a Gen III Hemi.

Question is has anyone here built either of these and powered them with a Mopar? Would FFR customize a kit by excluding the engine mounts / driveshaft etc that are specific to the Chevy/Ford?

This is my current 37, so I would have to think hard about moving it and be pretty comfortable that things would go right before pulling the trigger. 165740

Cool car you have. I haven’t got a kit yet but I understand the speedstar pictured in the 33 gallery has a gen 3 hemi. Talk to FFR, they can help you out.

The only current build with a Hemi that I'm aware of is Erik Treves' Speedstar "Beta Prototype" build: https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?41650-Hemi-Powered-SPEEDSTAR-in-the-HOUSE!

There have been others built in the past with various generations of Hemi power, but I haven't noticed any recent activity. I would suggest doing a search for "Hemi" on the "Engine & Transmission - 33 HotRod" and the " Build Threads - 33 HotRod" sub-threads to find more examples. Also, calling FFR tech support may be productive - in my experience they are very helpful.

Definitely reach out to FFR.

I highly suggest you find someone with a 33 that you can sit in and possibly go for a ride before pulling the trigger. It is very different from your current ride.

I applaud your choice of motor.

You will note that on the '33 HR config sheet there is now a gen 3 Hemi option, so yes you can do a Mopar powered FFR. As noted above, its tougher to find relevant build threads so far
