Crate motor and headers

Looks like a lot of $$$ for under 400 hp. You can get a 5.9 magnum out of Durango, Dakota or ram for $500, add EQ heads, .520" cam, timing set and intake for another $1600-$1700 oops, forgot Kevco car pan $240 so say $2000 with Gaskets. Total $2500 and easy 400 HP. Spend another $1000 installing factory injection and that leaves you another $1000 for a 44RE. Then you would have 400 HP with 4 speed Auto. Ultimate street machine. Or just install the engine and keep $2000 for a road trip across country:D
