Let's be honest....

OK Guys...carb or fuel injection is a preference of the builer/owner! The reason most people are interested in this swap is that this engine is lighter and most importantly more efficient than a small block or big block. The heads flow really well stock, 4 bolt mains that are cross bolted, stock block that will hold some pretty high horsepower! Yeah you can build a big or small block motor and get the same horsepower but can you get the mileage (efficincy ) the gen 3 hemi produces. locally I know of 2 cars that run close to the same ET (12:40s ) 1 is a 360 and gets 11 mpg and the 5.7 hemi gets low 20's! almost double the miles per gallon. I have a stout old school 440 in my 73 dart sport but I am building an all forged internals 5.7 with a turbo and 545 truck trans to put in one of my wrecks. The thought of putting a 700 to 800 horse ( estimated ) motor in a mopar muscle car with 6 forward gears is kinda having the best of all worlds! Go to the strip and rip off a couple good time slips. Be able to hold your own on the highway with a newer vette. Or drive across a couple of state to an event while getting good gas mileage and not have to wear ear plugs or go see the dentist because your fillings rattled loose. These new motors are just designed to produce power efficiently and that is why mopar, ford and chebby guys are all building these new motors. I appreciate all the technical do and don'ts everybody posts on these builds! To somebody just starting down this road it is very helpful. All the cars I have seen you guys showing on here are damn cool...no matter if its injected carbed or blown. keep the information coming!
