Quote: Some of you guys need to go price this stuff. An ls 7 is about 13000 for just the engine, an Ls3 or 6.2 is about 9000, just the engine. Chrysler sells the 6.1 for 9000 with everything you need to make it run except the fuel pump. I think you can buy just the 6.1 for around 7500. Mopar looks cheaper to me if you start with new stuff.
This is what has me Turned off with Junk Yards as well. $6000+ for a 6.1l Hemi that has 20-60K miles and no computer or accessories. Hello spend an extra grand or 2 and get all NEW with Computer and Accessories from Ma Mopar.
On the flip side the 5.7l Hemis are pretty affordable from the scrappers. Just talked to someone last week that Bought 2 for $1200 total. One had 12,000 miles and the other about 80,000 miles. Included all accessories.
That would be the way to go if you know your going to go through it and build it YOUR WAY.
Unfortunately from what I am hearing the Hemi Blocks and Heads NEW are (if not already) drying up fast with NO Intentions of supplying more by Mopar. If this is true? and you want NEW better break out the Benjamins, for an Aluminum Block. $4500+ last I checked.
