1600 or less

Strokers are easier than a R3.
4.25 went into a 5.7 with ease.

Really not much point doing a regular small block Mopar if you are starting from scratch, just need to figure out what heads to use.

This is from a dealer so you don't pay shipping. This is a complete machined block. From my understanding it's the exact same casting as the truck engine just the hellcat block is machined differently.
IMO unless you already haver the parts, going small block over G3 doesn't make any sense. The combination will make more power with less.

Yeah, makes it really hard on those of us with a mountain of obsolete LA stuff. Now I'm two generations behind, first the Mag and now the Hemi.

426ci hellcat block seems rather enticing! with the newer blocks, could you use the 32tooth reluctor cranks and older style cams to get away from the VVT and go with an MSD6 CDI? I try and keep it simple...

Yes on the reluctor wheel , NO on the cam. But all you need to do with the stock cam is lock it out. Comp cams has a kit.

Ha! I've yet to build a stout small block anything... I'm still in Purple Shaft land...
At that price, wow. It's hard not to justify doing Gen 3 over LA or big block stuff...

Been Gen III Hemi for almost 3 yrs. No regrets, wanted a high powered reliable, efficient, pump gas engine and it is that in spades.

will a 6.1L cam sensor work with the 6.2/6.4 timing set?

Anyone working with the 6.2 block yet? Curious about using a 5.7 cam core?

I think the 5.7 cam may be better to start with as the base circle is not ground down as low.

Anyone care to elaborate on the supposed machining difference in the BGE and hellcat? I dont see any...

From my understanding the only difference between the BGE truck block and the BGE Hellcat block is the paint job.

From what I've read the hellcat block is machined differently with deeper coolant pockets. Wherever they drill into they go a little deeper. Then there's the torque plates when they hone it.
Other than that I have nothing.

Wonder why they don't offer the BGE bare block anymore? I can't find a dealer selling one right now.
