Well I took a look at your site. I luv custom cars, any thing Mopar especially with a Hemi and like many of the V6 guys always wanted to make it a bit faster.

So I thought I stop by an share my story. Here is a build video from Carlisle when I was on the Dodge showcase
2012 Chrysler Nationals 6.1 Hemi Prowler reveal interview Dodge- SRT Showcase - YouTube
and thought I share my story here too!
Just to provide some context this is the worlds first and only 6.1 SRT Hemi Prowler

Think a SRT 6.1 at about 2850Lbs

My car was featured at this years Chrysler nationals and Modern mopar. so you may have seen it.

Backstory
I had a Prowler for over 12 Years. Back in the day the 3.5 was pretty nice but also wanted it to be a bit more of a modern hot rod. With the modern day Hemi decided to make a move.

Now doing this swap in a Prowler is no easy task. Its pretty much a custom build took over 12 months and involves a ton of fabication, electronics and patience to make it all work. The heart of the Hemi has a bolt on Trans and the prowler Tran set up is in the rear.

The build is pretty detailed and the great folks over at Allpar put a nice article together below that walks through all of the key details of the project.

I will put some of the key build picts below and look foward to seeing my fellow mopars on the street.

Pictured here is our custom bell-housing engine adapter to adapt the 6.1 Hemi engine to accept the prowler style drive shaft an rear trans. The rear engine mount is also integrated into the bell-housing.

Modified pan

Handbuilt headers and exhaust

Custom shaker hood from a Challenger

The first step was a custom trim ring.
On the picture below you will see a aluminum ring around the shaker. This set the positioning and build up area that the shaker with come through from the engine.

Then using tape the team laid out the build up outline design form the custom aluminum piece to be built, formed and attached to the hood. As you can see its slopes only leaving the top of the shaker sticking through. Very creative. See side view

That is a beautiful car! The Hemi Shaker looks right at home on your car.

A good friend of mine used to make the smc body panels for the prowler in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Thanks

Shaker is purpose built think about this the cars engine bay is about 40% smaller than the SRT its designed for. the grill, side panels and shaker all work together to reduce temps and allow this car to work. All functional performance. Every single mod you see has a purpose. Trying to keep a car this small cool is not easy task. We reduced temps over 25% with the shaker and there is no room for much more under the hood. Pulls cold air direct to the engine. AFR version required no air box! In person it also looks way cool!! 370 Hemi in your face. This is much less about looks its functional performance! There is little room under the hood and your doubling the performance and prowler. Note there car also weighs 1200lbs less with the same engine. Lots of enginering to make this all work
dare to compare

He's not a member of the forum but I'll have to send him a link. I think he will dig it. One of the coolest show cars to make it to production imo.
