After much consideration I decided to pull the trigger

You lost me, here. Just who, where, how, and how much did you get this engine?

The local yards here want REAL big bux for anything hemi

I had to do quite a bit of searching in the interwebs... I found the motor and trans (came with Nag1) on eBay for $6,000 and I think a few hundred dollars for shipping. Granted the Nag1 was swapped for a 545FE.
