Basic rundown is 10.7:1 cr, Callies rods, Callies crank, Mahle Forged pistons, 6.1 heads, the 392 cam which is 279/285 -.584/.552, a stock 6.1 intake, an oem stock 6.1 throttle body, no wiring harness, no computer, the aluminum block (which is about 5k by itself bare), a stock 6.1 oil pan, stock 6.1 valve covers, stock 6.1 coil packs, and so on.
Retail is 13,675.00, and they are available right now on a build to order basis.
If you're researched it you've probably noticed it is the lowest priced complete 426CI Gen 3 on the market, and an additional benefit is it is 98 lbs lighter than stock because of the aluminum block.
Like most other Mopar Performance crate engines, it carries a 90 day warranty that begins the day the engine is picked up.
That's about all the info I have but if you need anything else just ask, should be able to find out anything you'd want to know.

Do you know if the crate still uses oil squirtters? Also are all accessories interchangeable between the 5.7's? Thanks for any info, I am getting close to pulling the plug and ordering one and need to get all my ducks in a row.

Where are the Crate engines built now a days? Have the assembly issues of the past been addressed? I know for quite some time It was said that if you buy a crate engine you need to take it apart and check it before running it.
