Magnum VS Hemi

"The Hemi is newer, uses an aluminum block and heads where the Magnum uses iron, "

Someone didn't get all the memo's.
If all Hemi blocks were aluminium those kinda swaps would be even more common.

But I do agree 'going Hemi' adds a lot of expense and complexity, especially in an A-body.


I put my own Hemi-swap for my daily Dart on the backburner in favor of a 360 motor, just for ease of simplicity.
I can't really afford (well, I just don't want) my daily to sit in the garage for a number of months while having to modify just about everything in the engine bay and routing a crapload of wiring to control the engine.
When the 360 is built it will take 1 good day in the garage for the swap to complete.
