Thank you, that actually helps a lot. I guess what im looking for is whats the machine work gonna cost, ballpark idear. Oh well, i'll make some calls and see what we can do.

Thanks CM, that is some good direction. 500hp would be plenty for me, for now. I think that's what im gonna do. Dissemble, check it out. Get it honed. Rebuild.

hey blown, where can I get one of those engines? right now I got an 05 outta a ram. I got it for $200 so it was a steal no matter what I do with it... I just want the dart to breathe a little, getting ancy.

thanks for the input fellers. Photorep, drive by wire is the electronic gas pedal for the new 3g hemi. They dont' have a throttle cable anymore, its all electric. Wireharness is the wiring hardness for the new hemi to hook it up. It has to be "hacked" to work outside a factory car, has to be...

Wow, 33 views and no replies. Come on people, throw a pie or something. ha. Nobody has any ballpark idea what im looking at?

OK, so about a year ago i found a 5.7 on craigslist, bought it for $200. Guy said it ran but had a tick, so his client wanted it replaced. Had no electronics so no way to fire it. I took off the heads (wasting the $300 headbolts) and it turns over and looks good from what I see. Well through the...

Lotta computer work here, need a degree in computer engineering. ha. carbureted 318 is starting to sound good right about now.

Thank you so much!!! I been gone for a while, came back and saw this. This is exactly what i was looking for, for all those months after i got my hemi. Now I have some direction to proceed with. Now if only I didn't have to rebuild the entire engine first (i took the heads off, forgot to...

well, might as well stroke it then too. get some work done. I saw a package for srt8 for a few grand, maybe i'll look into that. Crank, cam, heads

So im thinking of doing a cam and a twin turbo setup. What you all think of that? hp range? do you think internals still need to be upgraded? I don't want to run nos, turbo is already pushing my way of thinking..

OK, fudge that....im wrong in my turbo thinking...my god look at youtube..hemi and turbo.....as long as it dont' sound like an import, that is to much for me.

ya know, im only 30. I grew up with the imports and the stupid blow off sound that the turbos were doing...and I developed the opinion. A a muscle car should not have a turbo. It should have a super charger. Now my personal preference, maybe im just old skool at heart...Root style thru the hood...

good points..ty for the replies and info. The tick, is a mystery obviously without it running. They guy I bought it from actually did the swap for a client of his, he sold me it for $200. I jumped all over the engine regardless of the tick. It turns over, there is no leaks, no metal, no nothing...

Thanks guys. I want 500hp. So that is my deciding factor. I am really leaning toward hotwire, i think MS is just to much for me. Id hate to spend all that money, and have a pile of parts i can't make work.

no, way to much money. Have my hemi already..... Thanks though, and if i was gonna spend that much dough, i would just get the kit Chrysler is selling for hemi swaps.

very true...guess im just anxious to hear her breathe... What u suggested for 500hp? I read something about pistons melting at near 500hp....

OK, so here is the situation. Its been debated that my idea of 700hp on street, is a little scary.....so im gonna shoot for 500hp, figure its a nice round number. I wanna know how everyone would approach this, im not a millionaire...so can't afford blowers and stuff(someday want a root...

I keep sitting on the fence over this, ha. 1. Hotwire i can buy it, its premade, uses factory ECU, don't need to tune it(or as much?) 2. Megasquirt, gotta make it all, lotta work, doesn't use factor ECU, needs tunes which appears to not be so easy for a new guy to the game. not seeing pros...

all great points and info. Thank you all so much.

Ya, thats what im thinking too. thats just to much work for me to try and solder and ive never done a board. This is the stuff that makes me scared and just want to go to hotwire auto, and go that route...dunno what the pros/cons really are.

Looking at this... http://msextra.com/doc/ms3/build_manual.html NO WAY am i going to build that. No way at all.

HA....degree applies more to my interests, despite how it looks, I do enjoy electronics, playing w wires, soldering, etc....just wish I knew more about the "antequated" stuff like building boards.... I am actually a network admin( associates only), for for HP......but I find myself wanting more...

Joe, Another issue I'm seeing is gauges and throttle kick down. Getting something to convert the dbw to cable is fine, but how about the kick down for transmission? I am thinking of going w a 6 speed, but if i go auto, i need a kick down. but the bigger issue, Gauges.....how does that work...

Thanks joe. I think I may give this a try. Definitely thinking that's for sure. I do like the idea of having ms3 be the ecu, and be fully programmable. And not for the $2300 mopar wants for a programmable ecu

ya, came across that. So tell me, I get that MS3...what exactly do i need for wiring? I mean i am going to be doing my own thing for the car itself, So I just need an engine harness right? Then its just splice the MS3 into the fuel rails, sensors...fire that thing up? obviously there is more...

Im not all smart in this, its really beyond me...but how can i do megasquirt for spark? From what ive read, it cant fire the hemi coils?...hence the MSD boxes? Would be nice, cuz MSD requires 2 boxes, about $600 a piece

Found this. 9-29-12 how is Megasquirt wired into a car - YouTube my basic understanding from this video and others... 1. need something to fire injectors (megasquirt). 2. need something to fire spark (msd box) megasquirt picks up signal from TPS, few other sensors and can tell the injectors...

Thank for the info. ya, with an idiots guide to wireharness hacking....that is not an option for me. Just don't have the skills. As far as Carb, no way. That is the whole point of the new hemi, efi.....so no efi, no sense in putting it in.

Ok, so now that mopar has agreed and stepped up to help us all out with swaps. I see that they have a complete stand alone engine kit for 6k...not happening. I already have the engine. I need a wire harness, and ecu. then i can at least fire the engine and make sure it works...i can deal w the...

hey there Rapid, Well its in a hold pattern right now. Money and stuff, u know that goes. Gotta get 4 new tires for the 09' charger, and they aren't cheap. Once that is taken care, gonna try and either get the wiring done for the hemi and fire it or get hemidenny to make a a k-member, and go...
