Hemi engine swap..is it worth it

for what its worth to anyone. I started with a junk yard 5.7 2009 motor for $900. Bought a pair of Eagle heads, changed the cam out to the 6.1, did the usual mds delete etc. I run the prefix intake with Fast efi running the fuel system. it ran really good for what it is. according to my dragy it was low 11 second car. We are making some changes to it now for this fall. Just recently my son machined for intake for port injection and a throttle body. I sold my MSD hemi 6 stuff upgraded to the MS3 gold box, had the heads CNC ported and polished with all new valves and springs, intake as well. we purchased a comp cam stage 3 HRT 224/234, push rods and lifters, we plan on spinning this one up past 7k. my sons calcs say we should be at 500hp to the rear wheel.
the car is fun to drive knowing i don't have 15k in a small block on the raged edge.

Plus if you have small block parts and things laying around sell it off to fund the new project. off setting cost is nice on the pocket book

there are shortcuts to this and not one recipe fits all swaps. think it out plan it out acquire as many parts as you can up front before you do it, the process can be long but i assure you its well worth it in the end.
