Picking up a 2014 5.7 in a few days...

I got a tip from a local car-enthusiast friend that a late-model Hemi was up for sale close by... I went to check it out, turns out it's a 2014 out of a truck with 134k miles and was pulled because it had a lifter tick and the owner of the truck just wanted a new engine swapped instead (???). I can only imagine that it saw a lot of highway use to be able to rack up that kind of mileage in 3 years, which maybe explains why the truck owner wanted a new one. Price is $600, shop owner wants it gone or he's gonna scrap it :eek:

I think this is a pretty great deal for a running engine? Once I get it I want to probably take it apart down to the short block mainly because I've never gotten my hands on one of these babies. My mom had a 2009 300C Hemi AWD which was a blast to drive but I didn't do much besides change the oil, then it got totaled and she now has a 2014 300C AWD with the V-6 and 8-speed.

Anyway... doesn't come with the harness or any accessories unfortunately, just the complete bare engine itself. So it will probably take some time before I figure out A) what exactly I'm going to do with it and B) how much all of that extra stuff will cost lol.
