Okay, I've searched, and can't find a universal anwser on the cost of this swap. I've got a non # matching 70 Charger RT with a 440 Six Pack, and I'd like to swap the new engine in. My 440 runs like a dog, so I'd rather do the swap and save some headache.

From what I can find, the cost of the swap, is something like this:

Salvage yard 5.7: $1,300-2,000
Aftermarket harness: $1,000?
Custom front sump oil pan: $425
aftermarket headers: $700
Mounts/misc: $1,000

Am I in the ballpark here? I'd like to get it down as close as I can, before i pull the trigger and sell my 440 stuff.

Also, for those who have done the swap, how does the car drive/perform afterwards? Any quarter mile times? I'd like to keep the fuel injection, and keep the engine stock. 340 hp and 390 ft/tq in a 600lb lighter package is an appealing combination.

And I've also read that I'd have to swap to a small block 727, and install some kind of spacer between them so the starter will work.

But any input would be appreciated, Thanks!
