We're in the process of doing a rebuild/stroker upgrade on the5.7 thatcame in Kayse's (wife) 2006 Charger Daytona.

The guy building it (Dan aka qwkmopardan on here) just ordered the Molnar crank and rods.
With everything for the reciprocating assembly he said to expect about $2600-2800 for that these days.

By the time it's all said and done I expect an easy $5-6k in the engine at least.
Kayse will NEVER sell the car so what ever gives her more power and makes her happy is fine with me. laugh2

As far and pulling the engine in a Durango, to do the engine swap in out 2004 Durango I pulled the intake off and made a bracket that bolts to the heads to pull the engine.
It's still a royal pain to access everything else just to unbolt it.
Online it says it's easier to remove the body with a 2 post lift to access everything.

I can see why they would just cut the frame rails in a salvage yard to pull the engine, it would be far easier to do to get the engine and trans out.

Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
