Probably the one they were bolted to if I ever score a 392 out of a junkyard. There are plenty of things that disappoint me about Mopar halfassing certain things on their current engineering. Like the crank issue? That definitely blows, but who wouldn't build a stroker anyway? Why can't they build aluminum block Gen III hemis and put them in SRT cars from the factory? But Chevy does. Why did Chrysler cast crossbolted Hemi blocks all those years but couldn't cast crossbolted 440 blocks? Yeah us grassroots guys have been getting screwed since 1964!
Just to touch up on some stuff.
There is a lot of guys starting to run 6.4 apache heads on 5.7 blocks I am not 100% but i think once you bore the 5.7 block you don't need to notch the cylinders.
On the Factory Alum block issue i would love a factory alum block "cheaper"
However even the Gm guys don't like running the factory alum LS block around 550-600hp mark they switch to the iron block becused it is stronger.
Last thing you got a 392 out a junkyard iam jealous
Keep posting you build please i love more info when you can
I think you maybe right about the apache on a bored block. This is a stock block no gasket.
