Early 5.7 Hemi head porting

Exactly! I'm trying to limit purchases for this that won't transfer over to the bigger displacement G3. The intake being one of them. I'd love to have a 6.1 intake, and I do look for them, but all the ones I come across people want $900-1000. That's a big no for me.

I fell in love with the look of the G3 partly because of the 6.1 intake. But the 6.4 is what trips my trigger now, and what I bought for my swap. Needed an intake anyway, so why not get what I wanted.

As I understand it, the 6.1 and Eagle 5.7 intake are about equal with the 5.7 intake having the advantage of running cooler since it is plastic but with the caveat that it can't take higher boost levels. So other than having to heat the bottom of the intake and molding it to the block, I think it is the better path than the 6.1 intake anyway. And I see them for sale for significantly less than the 6.1 intake.

Running the one you have is still the best option, either way.
