New hemi install total cost

Care to share your detailed expenses?



Chevy guys do the LS swap because the base price of a LS motor and the aftermarket parts are so much cheaper than for the HEMI

I'm not going to get into the HEMI vs LS debate
on a pure cost front it's a bit cheaper for the LS guys

But fuel delivery is the same need for both engines

I'm not saying a HEMI swap is "cheap" but it's cheapER than a built 408
of course the 408 will have zero miles and the HEMI have a couple dozen thousand
but who's counting, right?
Leaving the cost of the engine build out, $800 headers, $2000 EFI and laptop, $40 radiator hoses and probably $350 in fuel system. But its at least that much to EFI anything so go figure.
