If it's got a hole in the block it's scrap price. About the only desirable part of that engine is the block lol. The early 5.7's were supposed to be fairly beefy in the cylinders. Cast crank, powered metal rods, weak sister pistons, least desirable heads, etc For he's looking at it for it's worth a 100, there is always somebody looking for a spare set of heads now matter how the breath, toss the heads on ebay make back some money I've been looking around here for trashed block and now one seems to have any.

Did they even come in dakotas or was it a swap? I saw someone trying to sell a 4.7 as 5.7 locally a few months back. In a small pic, it did look similar. No Hemi's were installed in Dakotas from the factory,Durangos yes.Look closely at that engine,look for dual plugs to ID a Hemi.

The Durango that gave up it's broken heart is now a demo car... was sitting right next to the Hemi..duh!

So I was at the local junkyard today looking for a few things for my wife's DD when I came upon another 5.7 core... this one is an '03.
Yeah, yeah I know... loose valve seats, weak rods and suspect crankshafts. It's stuck... the plugs are out so there may be some cylinder rust. But I need a block and can recover much of my investment selling off the intake, alt., a/c compressor, etc.
The heads are still as good flowing than my ported W-2's and I can always play with my die grinder and sandpaper rolls to get a bit more flow.
$200.00...
So I pulled the trigger and told them to yank it out and I'd pick it up in a week or two... no hurry.

Put some cash down today on a 2014 5.7 out of a Challenger R/T non-MDS engine. 18,000 miles... has a rod knock.... runs. This one may turn out to be my race motor... Going to sell all but the short block so if you need something in a month or two let me know. That's a good 5.7 to start with....are you keeping the heads?

Yep... don't know exactly what my plan is right now...
I can run a 362 max alum head/iron block at 2300 lbs. or iron heads/block at the same weight w/no ci spec or an open engine, no max ci, all aluminum ok. All single four barrels.
The sbc's running the 362's get around 650hp... the all iron combo's are about the same (maybe a bit less) and the open engines can go up to 800hp+. But you can't hook up all that big power when the track slicks off...
I'm leaning towards running an open engine... maybe around 370+ cubes, use the Eagle heads with a good port job and better rods and pistons. 13/14 - 1 on methanol.
If I run the 362 I'd use the 1st gen heads with the combustion chambers welded up for more compression. No porting allowed with these specs.
My primary engine will be my iron headed 383 with the ported W-2 heads... should see 600-625hp out of it.
The Hemi will be my back-up engine and a learning experience.

I'd say a 370" w/Apache heads set on Kill would make a ton of power. Sounds like a neat class. What kind of chassis? Are these rails? Dirt late model stock car...
