Hemi opinions

I've been leaning in the Hemi swap direction myself. And after the Engine Master episode, the Eagle motor was the only option for me. The VVT made a significant difference and the SVR intake (I think) is the sole reason the truck 5.7's makes 25-30 hp more than the cars.

Unfortunately I don't have the connections you do, so I had to settle for a 2017 or 2019 core that has some water in the cylinders. Brought it home last night. Tonight the heads come off so I can dry it out and assess how bad it really is.

I got lucky with mine. It's a 2018 SRT 6.4 with 18k on it. Typical spun bearing at #7 but otherwise in good shape. Will clean up nice. My son works at the dealership and he's the one who replaced the engine. he also got me an SRV intake as well. Connections are good...
