Gen 3 Hemi Swap time!!!

I think you might be better off with the early 5.7's as opposed to the VVT motors. You can throw a set of Eagle or Apache heads on top, and have the ability to choose from a wide variety of cams whereas the VVT motors are fairly limited in cam choice (and extremely spendy). Initial cost of entry for the older 5.7's will be lower as well. If you dont plan on using any of the new tech, why pay for it?

When I got my truck running this spring I was holding out for the EFI Source plug and play for VVT. After months of excuses and failed timelines I finally gave up waiting. I have not seen any new confirmation that they are actually shipping them. I dont know of any other megasquirts that were VVT capable. One more reason to go non VVT.
