6.4 or 5.7?

The 5.7L are way more common - the 6.4L is surprisingly scarce given how many they have put into cars, trucks, etc.

The 5.7 is a very compitent engine - 375hp but there is plenty of room for a cam swap, headers, and getting to 500hp with very little work. The 6.4 is what? 485hp from the jump -

The T-56 will bolt up behind the 5.7 or 6.4 with a SBM to T-56 bellhousing. They use the same flywheel as well.

Do you still need to notch the frame on the 5.7l as you do with the 6.4l to clear the Alternator?

If you run the Truck 5.7 that moves the Alternator and AC can you still run a Carbonated Manifold and can you convert that truck Fan to electric? I'd like to avoid old school fans
