The manual transmission cars (2009+) have VVT, but no MDS (block has the MDS ports plugged in the lifter valley). There are differences between the pre-VVT and VVT blocks. One I'm pretty sure of is the VVT engines 1st cam bearing bore size has a larger diameter. Probably oil passage differences are well to feed the cam phaser. I think there are other differences as well. StricNine 79 Li'l Red Express, 15.04 @ 89.57 09 Challenger R/T, 11.95 @ 115.92

I searched high and low for a new bare block without vvt for about a year. No luck. I could get used ones in the $300-$600 range. Maybe someone else has a different experience. Good luck man.

It might be worth thinking about a 6.1 new block if your project is like mine, delayed for a while. http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread...551#post4740551 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky
