Is there a difference between a 6.4 BGE truck block and the block in the 6.4 challenger?

Yeah, the BGE block is the same as the Hellcat block, just a generally beefier block. To throw a twist into it, SRT's began using BGE blocks as well in '18, so all 6.4's from '18 on are BGE's, truck or car

External Ribbing and internal 68166434AD



Casting # 68249194AA (not part#) is the original Hellcat block and the only block in 2015 that is supposed to have the support ridge between the cylinders at the bottom of the water jacket, starting in 2016 all BGE blocks have that internal ridge and the external support ridges between the bottom of the water jacket and the lower casted part of the block...
2011-2015 SRT Blocks have 6.4 Casted in to them, 2011-2012 Are the 5037471BF part# and NO external support ribs 2014-2016 part #5045475AD have a thicker cylinder wall but NO extremal ribbing.2016/17 seems to be a change over year for the SRT392s, some of the old 6.4 casted block and BGE casted blocks seem to have been used in the SRT 392 cars.
All truck blocks have BGE casted in to them as do the Hellcat/Demon blocks.
......all 6.4s from 2017 to now are the same block, the difference between part #s in 2016 was block color.

So the early Ram 2500 6.4 BGE blocks didn’t have the external running but still have the beefier bores? Do you have a pic of the internal reinforcement?

I know this is an old post but I wanted to follow up on this as I bought a year ago a 6.4 short block out of supposedly a flooded 2015 Ram 2500. Based on the year I would expect it to be a BGE block but this block says 6.4 on the side and doesn't match any of the part numbers I can find. It looks like it has the same webbing on the side of the block as the BGE so my question is, is it really a BGE block?

I imagine it would have to be, the only other 6.4 was the SRT and those were orange, SRT blocks supposedly were a little "slimmer" as a weight cutting measure.
