Yesterday I think I had the chance to "steal" a 6.4 hemi truck engine with 4000 miles on it so I did. Now I have been trying to find info on it but not much luck so far.Any body got a lick to a real indepth article on this engine. What heads did they use or are they unique to this engine? Should have a strong rod and piston. Any info on this engine would be appreciated.
Just assuming here but same block as srt. Heads are eagle, crank is the same as srt. Try Googling ALLPAR.

Sounds like a nice package to start with, why was it pulled with 4K on it?

Since when do they put Eagle heads on a 6.4 instead of the Apache? The chambers are entirely different between the two because of the bore difference; the 6.4 chamber diameter is huge.

Because the 6.4 truck is different. It's made for torque. I could be wrong and have been in the past but I don't see them putting a more expensive head on a truck block. IF I am right then the piston chamber is different.

I actually work at CTC, so I tracked down one of the engineers a few weeks ago to ask about these.
Heads are the same casting as a 6.4 SRT, but use sodium filled exhaust valves, different valve spring package, and better valve seat material for durability.
The blocks are SLIGHTLY different, but there is some talk about commonizing them right now, so there must not be too much difference for it to be considered (I dont' know if they were talking about using the truck block in the SRT, the SRT block in the truck, or some combination of both). I do know that the 6.4L truck motors have oil squirters, but I'm not sure if the 6.4L SRT motors do.
If I remember what he said correctly, the cranks are different, but I can't swear to it.
Hope that helps!
