2016 Sema Mopar Hemi Swap
Thanks for the reply, so your saying the truck engine is possibly a nitemare ? Ok , I have a wrecked srt8 charger next door with a 6.1 hemi in it ,complete running car just not repairable. This will not work with the new harness. Is it a smarter choice to start with and buy a different harness or should I look for a 2014 charger 5.7 hemi. Or just say the hell with the used cheaper stuff and buy the 5.7 crate you listed. I live up north , the price on the 5.7 crate for me is $7500
The 6.1 is a dinosaur at this point. If it were me I would abandon these used "deal" engines entierly.
I can ship relatively cheap to Canada, and I offer a little member price break.
The hemi swap has enough hidden surprises on its own, without getting into the unknowns of a used engine. 6.1 vs eagle is yet again a completely different laundry list.
Say you pull that 6.1 and harness and ecm...where to from there? Removing security features from the ecm. Tuning, harness modification. Etc. Idk if anyone in canada does that. And again thousands if you ship it somewhere.
I suppose at least the 6.1 can use the old msd hemi6. But still...idk. your call in the end. Its easy for me to spend your $. Lol. A new crate isnt for everyone just like a used engine isnt for everyone. There are some very skilled people out there that can do all of the above with their eyes closed. But again, we arent talking plug and play...alot of skill, tuning knowledge, and extra cost involved.
I dont want to just come off as a sales pitch also. I want to throw that out too... I just deal with guys that call in every day with a bunch of takeout parts that might as well be from a different make vehicle because they are nowhere near working, and/or require extensive custom wiring, tuning, hardware, etc
