When considering a V8 conversion, it’s important to look at more than just the power potential. AEV’s HEMI V8 Builder Kit also provides ease of installation, with great features like no-measure motor mounts, a perfectly fitted exhaust, a custom radiator bottle that means no clumsy relocation, and a wiring harness that is literally plug-and-play. And speaking of wiring harnesses, it’s important to look at reliability and serviceability. AEV’s wiring harness uses all OE connectors, all factory color-coded wires and has every single circuit computer tested before you receive it.
