Gents, I'm pretty well versed on B and RB engines, but need expert advise on this parts package I'm considering buying. Am a big fan of the wedge, but have always wanted to build a Hemi. Anything bad about the block, heads, etc in this package? Don't think I'll be able to beat the deal anytime soon and would make a 1968 Dart or Barracuda into a pretty cool tribute car. 472 cubic inch HEMI Engine Block p5007668 Aluminum heads (2) p4876857 Black valve cover set p5007796 Flywheel p4529143 Fluid damper p4452776 Cross-ram intake p5007534 Right carb p4452778 Left carb p4452779 Air cleaner kit p5007809 Intake linkage kit p4510635 Stroker 4.15 crankshaft p5007250 Intake rocker shaft (2) p5249631 Exhaust rocker shaft (2) p5249632 Set of steel crank rods p4876303 Set of aluminum crank rods(8) p5249790 Starter p5249644 Oil pump p4286590 Intake bolt kit p4529330 Exhaust rocker arm (8) p5249604 Intake rocker arm (8) p5249603 Stock piston (8) p5007076 Adjustable rocker studs kit p5007444 Aluminum rocker support kit p5249505 Windage tray p3412083 Gear drive set (2 kits ) p5249759 Alum water pump housing p4286900 Alum water pump p4529102 Gasket p5007345 Lifter set (8) p4452920 Fuel pump p4007039 Timing cover p4349816 Head stud kit p4452197 Oil pan p4529884 Fan p4120758 MSD billet Distri #8546 non-mopar Dipstick p4349629 Thanks for your time.

So these are parts, not an assembly? Have any of them ever been run? If so, what do you know of it's history?
Hope it works out for you.

Hello Dave, all new parts in packages for those that will fit. Was wondering if there was a problem with the block, for instance, since there were issues with foundrys and production back then.

No way to know on the block by just the part number unless that is a WORLD block then it still may be hit or miss , machining was a big issue with them all .
If it's an earlier block be weary of blocks that were porous that went out the back door instead of melted down to recast ...

Seller says "This is a Mopar Performance stock replacement block for the 426 cu.in manufactured around 2000-2001" if that helps. Thanks for the replies.

Sounds like a fun project. That engine package is very close to what I built for my Dart. Same block, crank and heads. It makes more power than I know what to do with.
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

You must use the headers from TTI if your going into a A body. They fit like a glove!!

have the block sonic checked and 1st check the main caps to see if they are tight in the block we have a wedge block from that time frame that we had program make over sized main caps to fit !!! 
 Jim is correct,also look at the back of the block just above the bell housing bolts for any indication of a tag being glued on.Many of the street blocks came with a tag:bore to max.4.280 or 4.375.If not as Jimmy said sonic test and do it frequently on the Major and minor thrust.Try and maintain .180 after finish bore.

Hey Jerry, how long have you been in Florida? Any chance you will stationed back up this way?
I got mine fired up this week. Sounds awesome, but I am chasing a water issue. With a little luck I will get the brakes together today and be able to take it around the block.
Master, again and still

11.20s spinning. That's a good start. We have got to get together when you get back.
Good luck!

Thanks for your time.
If those heads are the pre Edelbrock aluminum heads I would be leary. Numerous problems with seats, guilds, machining.
The old blocks are fine, but I would measure everything. You might find the bores are all over the place and the deck has too coarse a finish

Do they make the TTI headers to fit the Stage V replacement heads?
yes, standard hemi headers. 2 1/8, and i believe the 2 1/4 are the same flange and bolt pattern.
i have the 2 1/8 on my car, and they have been on both mopar and stage V heads.
