What complete drivetrain package would you be interested in???

[Mopar Tim]

5.7 Hemi and modern 6 speed auto. Im trying to find a good roller 66 ragtop to put this combo in. 50 grand into it would be in budget! Just because we wrench on Mopars does not mean we dont have money to spend on our passions. :burnout:MT

A 6 speed package with a t-56 is easy! it's the auto's that are a PITA to get to work.
as you see i have an eagle in the shop, and working on assembly, and at that point we will have our dyno numbers, and can pair theses to either a t-56, or a 4L70. as well as work on our other two flavors of power levels over our "stage 1" (stock-ish) 5.7.

stay tuned!

and for my smallblock faithful, don't worry. we will have you covered also as promised. Just need to get the hemi up and running first before i start working on the SB packages!

If you can get a gen3 package without a transmission in a crate and for less than $15K I'd be very surprised. .

Then i will take that as you want to sign up as my first customer because If I had to charge 15K for a stand alone engine i wouldn't even be attempting this, so prepare to be astonished. As i've noted in this thread from the beginning, i'll have these similar to the LS3's, and the LS3 connect and cruise packages in price and power. You don't have to cross pollinate with my 4l70's if you don't want, as i will sell manual trans combo's as well as the complete stand alone engine, so if you want to tackle the task of a making a NAG or 46/48 work behind the gen3 then you have that option, I can even couple one with a 727, but don't know how popular it will be with a 100% MVB, and only being a 3 speed.

Side note** mine will also come with the swap pan, since no factory pans fit the old chassis anyways. keep in mind with a brand new LS3, the first thing you need to do is remove the pan it came with, and install the $450 holley swap pan. unless of course you go with the Pace Performance MC(musclecar) version.

Lastly, please only view my responses to comments like that as my assuring that this project is well on its way, and my main goal is reliability, performance, and affordability. I'm not going to bring something to market and price it through the roof just because i can....believe me there are plenty of other companies doing that already.

Just so I'm clear - this will be all new parts, not rebuilt. With the right oil pan. With a usable belt drive. With a complete plug-and-play and laptop tunable EFI system with it able to control the 4L80. With a warranty. For less than $15K.
Correct?

And also understand - this is just constructive criticism. I applaud you if you can do it, but I've had almost 30yrs in Mopars and in my opinion (based on MP/dealership level experience and aftermarket products) we've never had a cost-competitive and quality package available.

"rebuilt" is a relative term. The only parts "reman" of a core would be the block, and crank, and only if they pass an extremely stringent QC inspection. Brand new pistons,bearings, valve springs, sensors, timing set, intake manifold, TB,. so on and so forth, go into these engines. No different than any other aftermarket crate engine on the market, we modify these for performance and streetability, do many upgrades vs the stock engines, and have custom cams, timing sets, valve springs, and all new equip. The level of upgrades we do on these kind of defeats the purpose of buying one off the assembly line from chrysler,and throwing 50% of the long block into the dumpster. Not to mention if we didn't make the timing set upgrades, there is no aftermarket ECU on the market that can operate VVT,so we eliminate it. and lastly a quick google of 5.7 timing chain problems would have anyone thanking us for the upgrade(s)
With the right oil pan. Yes the mildon unit with the correct sump, already installed.
With a usable belt drive. We have several options there. Either the factory style alternator, serp setup, with the PS delete pulley. Or we are assembling a kit similar to a vintage air or march performance for the guys that want A/C and P/S.
With a complete plug-and-play and laptop tunable EFI system with it able to control the 4L80.4L70, but Ya. if you want an 80, i can sub it in, but thats not our go to as the entire floor pan needs modified. Or a stand alone running engine if you want the task of installing a mopar trans of some kind., or even a "long block w/ intake" if you want to do your own ECM.
With a warranty. Yes
For less than $15K. Well your original reference to the 15k was just the engine, but yes. i should have everything else mentioned above avail in a package very comparative to the "MC" LS3 package, it retails about there.

Correct?

Thank you and I hear ya 100%. If i was forced to use all mopar equipment, then yes this package would probably be 20K+ BUT...i'm not. Chrysler has no interest in supporting the aftermarket to this level. Believe me i tried. I have an ECU much easier to use than chryslers, a trans that the aftermarket can actually support, and we make these engines what we want them to be, and make them available without the typical chrysler nonsense or markup. If you want a 3g hemi, ready to drop in any cuda, duster, dart, or charger. We're you're guys. If you want to go buy a 6.4 off the assembly line where every nut, bolt, and clip has a chrysler PN and is marked up 100% higher than it should be, then "Mopar to ya...'' pun intended.lol The fact of the matter "to me" is that the 3g swap is finally catching up to the LS swap market, and I'm here to support that the best way we know how. Again thank you for the constructive criticism, and my replies are not JABS, i just want to do my best to answer any questions!
