Thanks for doing the review. While I’m only 54, I have always been old school. It’s fantastic that there’s manufacturers doing stuff like this. It truly looks like plug, and play.
Do it! You only live once. I'm 10K in debt outside of mortgage, car note, loans, etc, but I bought a new 6.4 block, 6.4 heads, intake, TKX transmission, Holley swap kit for my '69 Charger & another for my '71 Duster. "F*ck" it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I build the 03 to 08 5.7l hemi engines all the time. Upgrades of course and VERY POWERFUL. Very easy to make them perform. Save's a lot of money this way. Easy to find..... Good review of the ACES EFI kit. I'll give them a call Monday to see what my options could be.
You could likely do what I've done in the past, swap the crankshaft tone wheel with a newer one, change the crank sensor to a 2009+ and I bet it would run just fine. 👍
My penultimate dream car for the last 20 years has been a 1969 - 1971 Dodge Dart or Plymouth Scamp, with a cammed 5.7 HEMI swap. Awesome to know a company exists that makes that reasonably possible without a lot of custom computers and crazy in depth tuning just to make it work. But it's a damn shame that Darts, and now the Scamps, in decent shape (meaning not rotted out) are very very expensive nowadays.
Looks like I found a reason to do a v8 swap into a Jeep ! Love the fact you committed blasphemy swapping a Hemi into a Chevy. I can only imagine the sound of wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Bowtie boys.
Yep, you can swap the Hemi into your Jeep and avoid the $95k they're asking for new ones! 😂 Truthfully one of the main reasons I did this swap was to annoy the Chevy fanboys, but honestly most people when they see it love it. 👍
Indeed i did, but i eventually realized that it doesn't have to be all our nothing. Now when I have something I feel like making a video about, I do it. And I don't worry about what the results of the video are, much better for the mental health and I get to prioritize time with my family 👍
So glad to see you with another informative video. Great information for anyone looking to do a swap of any kind. I was wondering the whole time if you had snow or not to be able to do a test drive. Hopefully you get a warm spell and it all clears up enough to get a drive in.
Great kit especially for the cost. As I was watching this I was thinking how good a GSP speedometer would be if it had it. Low and behold... Good to see you working on the truck again. I think you need to tackle the A/C in it and get it going. Be a good project to show how to figure it out.
They have some LS transmission stuff available already, same as holley, but i agree it would help sales tremendously if they had NAG trans control, or even better 8spd trans control. But I'm assuming you get into proprietary programming at that point which I'm sure costs much more to produce.
Neat setup Sky, I guess the real test will be in the spring for driveability. You last video you had some neck pain if I remember, I hope it's feeling better! I am tired of hearing about the terminator X which is more expensive than the engine it controls, so glad to see you mopar guys and gals have a cheaper option. It would be way more detailed, but it would be cool to see how a megasquirt system compares. I have been thinking about the haltech rebel LS for my build, which comes in really cheap, but I do not think it has a screen. I wonder if they might come up with a similar hemi system?
Hey Tucker! Just had double disc replacement surgery on my neck on Monday 😬. Hopefully it'll all come back OK, the doctor thinks I'll have some level of permanent nerve damage in my right arm, but I'm hoping I can prove him wrong. I actually had a Megasquirt system controlling a motorcycle i built many years ago. It may have changed significantly since I used it, but it was not for the faint of heart, pretty technical compared to these other systems. I'd love to see Haltech get involved but I imagine it would be even more expensive than a holley setup.
@@ReignitedAuto Ouch, man I'm sorry and yeah hopefully you're right about the right arm. I hope the neck pain goes away though! The haltech setup is actually right around $1400 right now believe it or not, I couldn't believe it was that cheap. Of course they probably price it that low because there are so many completely free ways to tune LS engines.
I am so glad to see you pop back in with a video. I have been studying "Aces" and wondering how good it is. I wish my channel was popular enough to get Aces to sponsor my FrankenHEMI build. With Eagle heads on an '05 block, it should make it a real possibility, right? I still want to build the 13:1 Franken5.7. Great video, great to hear from you.
I think they are great trucks. That era was really solid because they had most all the bugs worked out of them. Same issues as always, you'll want to avoid trucks that have high idle time on them, but otherwise they're pretty solid.
What about support for the 8hp70,75,90,95 transmissions? Paring the 8 speeds with the newer hemis is where you'd see a huge improvement in performance and driveability. Ive got a 93 single cab obs chevy i want to hemi swap.
Totally agree, but currently neither Aces or holley offer that support. There is a company called sound German automotive that has a standalone controller for the trans only, but you'd have to find a way to integrate the sensor signals with the primary PCM. I'm sure it could be done.
8 speed is where it's at. FuelTec just added 8hp control to their ecus. Also MaxxEcu is a standalone that can control the engine and an 8hp. And at a reasonable price
Im currently in process of doing a 6.1hemi build in my 03 Dakota. Engine is from a 2010 challenger. You said this kit has a plug in for trans, do they have tcm stand alones for this set up..... just asking. Yes i will be checking site for more info into this as i was already leaning towards Holley system. I still have a ways to go before the initial build and gathering all my "ducks in a row". My main issue is transmission. I have available a 545rfe from a 2010 Ram as well as the Nag1 from same challenger. I would, if possible, go with the 8hp90. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😎👍🇺🇸
This is awesome! I'm going to be swapping a camed 392 into my Challenger and intend to keep my 5.7 and put it in something else so this is an amazing alternative! Do you have any tips on swapping the engine out on my Challenger? It's a 2013 manual RT. I haven't swapped an engine ever and i feel like i may be in over my head doing it myself so id really love some advice!
For an engine swap you've definitely chosen the right one! That's about as plug n play as you get swapping the 5.7 for the 392. I can't think of any issues you're going to run into because they are physically identical and everything bolts up exactly the same. you can even use the stock manifold/air intake if you don't want to change anything else. Of course you'll need some custom tuning with the aftermarket cam to get the most out of it, but it should start up and run OK with just the stock tune. I do have a ton of videos on my channel that have engine installs into LX platform vehicles, so check those out if you get a chance. If you end up with a specific question that you don't see answered feel free to email me (it's in the video description) and hopefully I'll be able to help you out.
They do indeed, available for free on their website. Like I mentioned, it's not quite as intuitive/ user friendly as the holley, but they've assured me they're working on it. Haven't settled into it too much myself just yet. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto Thanks, I think I have 1 more G3 transplant to do before I call it quits and I might look at this system. I already have a Holley HP and a Holley X Max system so it might be fun to check it out.
Can you use this inplace of the factory system on a 2010 charger pursuit? The car has had a mds delete with comp cams stage 2 cam and he'll cat lifters. Just having a lot of issues with codes and etc on factory car system. Just tired of the head aches. Please help???😢
It's somewhat more of a challenge to use this system on a vehicle that is already equipped with the Hemi engine. The Aces system will run the engine perfectly, but the transmission still needs inputs from the engine to work properly and honestly I'm not sure how to integrate the two of them.
😄 his was great no question! (Although to be technically accurate I built mine a year and a half before his, and his was only a 5.7) 😉 Appreciate you watching!
I’m putting a 5.7 in my 68 Charger and am looking at doing non-OEM fuel injection. This might work nicely since I am rebuilding my Hemi from a short block I got from a dropped valve seat. I’ve been getting parts as cash allows. As long as it works, more affordable is always good in my book! Do you have any experience with trans controller and setting up the tone ring inputs?
Seems how your engine had a dropped valve seat, is it a pre 2009 engine? If so, I bet you could still make it work using this system by changing the crank tone wheel to the newer 58 tooth, and installing the 09+ crank sensor. I suspect it would run just fine with those updates.
@ It’s an Eagle version 09 & up. I’m breaking it all the way down. Valve kissed the top of the piston so not taking any chances. I got a NAG1 to go in also for the overdrive. That’s the issue regarding the trans controller. Car was a rolling shell, no driveshaft. It’s gonna end up being a custom job most likely and a lot of $$$$$$.
Man, fhis is so far off topic, but, ive got to know .. ok... Ive been building my hemi for what seems like an eternity.. 4 rounds so far.... And lets just say 2 of them were my fault , and 2 were not .. anyway, thjs is #5 and hopefully the last one... Ive seen alot of vids on this build, but ive not seen any that can clarify this loint for me. Now ive got a pre eagle block, 2006 and im using eagle heads, exhaust, intake and injectors... Ive had it running for a while on 2 head gaskets per head but developed a rod knock and here we are... So my question is, do i really need to use a .040 or grater head gasket or can i use just a oem gasket for a 2009 model.... What i dont want is to plug my pistons with the valves... I dont care to much about high compression ratios... I just dont wanna have to tear jt down again!
That's correct. Alternatively you could just put the newer reluctor wheel in the older engine and use the updated crank sensor and i suspect it would run just fine.

I have seen no positive reviews of the ACES systems until now. I always love a underdog but not one that does not work. This was last year I did all the research so lets hope they ironed out all the kinks. I guess we wont know because this video did not answer any questions.
I can only answer for my admittedly very brief experience with them. So far so good, and we do have to remember that all companies have to start somewhere. I certainly hope it holds up since more competition can only mean good things for us as consumers. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto Absolutely. I already earmarket one of there systems for the 350 SBC. If I start findign success stories about there products, then I will proceed. I, for some reason, refuse to buy Holley either way. So will stay carb until then.
@apocolypse11 I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I think its a bit more complicated and nuanced than that. I am what you would refer to as an old school Mopar guy. I have a 1971 Dodge Dart with a 392 Hemi stroker I build all by myself, as well as a 1999 Dodge Dakota with a 6.1 Hemi from a 2010 Challenger SRT8. I have worked with plenty of carburetors in the past, and yet I love EFI and have no problem experimenting with it. Not all of us old school Mopar guys have our heads buried in the proverbial sand. Frankly, I think the reason why we don't see more old school Mopar guys doing this is simply a numbers thing, there has always been more GM and Ford cars on the road, therefore you see more parts and support being offered by the after market industry, and thus more experimentation by the end user in general. If you take a look at a Summit Racing catalog you will see what I am talking about, the support for Mopar vehicles is almost non existent. There's not much support because they believe there's not much money to be made due to the lower amount of people owning Mopar vehicles. In my opinion it's just more of a supply and demand issue than anything else.
Thanks for doing the review. While I’m only 54, I have always been old school. It’s fantastic that there’s manufacturers doing stuff like this. It truly looks like plug, and play.
Absolutely, it's one of the easiest kits out there, and it really shows that with even minimal knowledge someone could install it. 👍
Happy you came back to make this video, makes me want to buy a 392 for my 40 Plymouth now and put myself in debt lol
Do it! You only live once. I'm 10K in debt outside of mortgage, car note, loans, etc, but I bought a new 6.4 block, 6.4 heads, intake, TKX transmission, Holley swap kit for my '69 Charger & another for my '71 Duster. "F*ck" it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean, what use is money anyway right? 😂 I have the same problem...
Not enough people go over gen 3 hemi’s and what can be done, it’s always coyote this and LS that I’m exhausted of it
Agreed, I love most engines, but it's nice to see something different every now and then. Thanks for watching!
@@ReignitedAutothanks for the videos man keep being great
It's because mopar guys are stuck in the 70s. The younger guys n starting to discover the gen3 hemi potential.
What's crazy is the aftermarket support for the 5.7 hemi is still better than the coyote lol. It's just not as good as the support for the ls.
I build the 03 to 08 5.7l hemi engines all the time. Upgrades of course and VERY POWERFUL. Very easy to make them perform. Save's a lot of money this way. Easy to find..... Good review of the ACES EFI kit. I'll give them a call Monday to see what my options could be.

Time to go out and stare at the 5.7 on the engine stand in my garage some more lol
Love the video. Just subscribed.
Very new to the stand alone game .. why can’t they make Transmission harness?

I need you to put valve springs in my hemi 300 where are you located
So you could swap an 09+ hemi in a third gen ram and run it with this system? But there’s no provision for 32 tooth reluctor wheel?

I like most of the video.. Hate the parts you put music in.. It does not add anything and makes folks want to fast forward that part.
Mopar guys hate tech they rather go back to hand starting crank. Chevy n ford,toyota guys are willing to experiment.
