I am in the process of swapping a late model hemi into my buddy's scamp. Episodes 1 and 2 are out with 3 on the way. It is exciting. Does anyone here have experience with steering setup or brake master cylinder placement? Thanks.

No experience but keep us posted with your progress.

Lots of interferences but it is in. Next step is getting the transmission in!

Looks as bad as putting a RB big block in, if I remember correctly the steering will move 3/4 of an inch but what I did was shorten the housing to just after the fire wall and then put a Borgensen joint in place on the rag joint. I used 2" under car headers so the steering was a pain.
Good luck with your progress it looks like fun! What are you going to use to run it, stock harness?
I was just thinking that if you turned the manifold around turbos could be fitted and it would save so much grief on the exhaust. Just a thought. 🙂

Going to be a tough fit for sure... Keep us posted and keep on chipping at it...

Here is something to read on the subject , I had to get Google crome out of my phone to post this what a pain, it has been stopping lately and today it would not let me use clipboard.

Thanks for the insights! I do plan on running the stock harness. I have definitely considered the twin turbo approach. I will keep you guys updated. Thanks for reading and watching.
