Which hemi? 6.1 for $4000 or build forged 5.7?

Sorry to hear that the motor was a bust. Geez, I hate liars. A little honesty goes a long way.

03Ramit,

I am not saying you're wrong. I've also read a number of claims that the 5.7 block is superior to the 6.1 block since it can allegedly be overbored between .075 and .080, yet when I look at stroker kits for both the 5.7 and 6.1 I only see .020 and .040 pistons for both motors. Given the external gusseting on the 6.1 block, I find it hard to believe that the 5.7 block is better. Though, I could be wrong.

Also why would Mopar build a motor with such thick cylinder walls since auto manufacturers are trying to get the weight down?

Again, I am not saying your wrong. But, I'd like some people to chime in people who have broken a block or two. Not just yahoos like me who just know what they read on the interwebz.

Regards,

Joe Dokes
