The last 5.7 I found for a build, had 4 main bearings spun and one cam bearing spun. Appeared to have been ran out of oil for some reason. Maybe oil pump failure or just lack of oil in pan. The cam bearing housing bore checked OK and the main bearing housings will be align bored/honed with new caps, as the original caps were very loose fitting.
I had one (5.7) similar. Spun main and spun cam bearing. The cam actually seize in the bearing. Had to pound the camshaft out.

I see a few references to the bottom ends being "weak". Just a suggestion, if you're gonna post something like that you better have solid proof to back it up and not just be posting BS hearsay rumors that probably spawned from a Chevy site.
Fact....In 2011 at the US Nat's, 1 of 5 DP Challenger's with a G3 lost an engine, whether a 5.7 or 6.1.

While replacing a 5.7 crankshaft the other day I noticed the maincap bolts are marked with 10.9 strength numbers. Would've thought TTY bolts would be a bit softer.
I learned the maincap-bolts are stretchbolts, but I didn't think strong/hard bolts like these could be used as TTY could they?
Torque-specs for the main-bolts is 27 lb/ft and then a 90 degree extra turn.
Can anyone provide the exact length of new/stock sized main bolts?
I wonder how much a torqued TTY bolt has stretched compared to a new bolt.

Wish I could help, but I always replace the mains with ARP fastners, which BTW changed their instruction spec's to install them like you would using tq to yield bolts. I tried their method once and that was enough. Thought I might have to use a breaker bar on the end of my digital tq wrench to get that extra 90* turn. Here are my spec's that I use when using ARP G3 main studs. Alighn hone main bearing housing to 2.7520 with studs @ 110# tq with oil. 25# on on the side bolts using Ultra gray between the block and washer.

Not sure what you're talking about Jerry. I just installed the crank in my new motor and the ARP instructions were straight forward......100ft.lbs. on the studs/nuts and 25ft. lbs. on the cross bolts.

Maybe ARP changed their install tq #'s again? IDK? All I know is that I have the very first set of G3 ARP's main stud's in my G3 engine as well has their head stud's. I asked for their required tq spec's...they told me "your the one that ordered these, tell me what you want". At first they suggested 85# tq on the mains. They were wrong.

What are the differences in an 03-08 5.7 hemi valves and where the rockers sit to the 09 and up?
Do the 09 and up 5.7 use a longer valves and is where the rocker shaft sits raised up?

So here’s a summary of the issues I’ve confronted installing a crate 6.1 into an Aussie A body.
The problems Ive listed are common to US A bodies also.
Our engine bay is the same size as a Duster or Demon.
TTI MOUNTS
Using the TTI adapter mount and biscuit style insulators - You can expect an extreme pinion angle, a crooked engine (front to rear) and very little valve cover clearance on the right side inner guard (as viewed from the driving position)
These adapters are badly measured up and other US forums have verified that these issues effect US A bodies as well.
FIX - Centre the engine,
Or
Remove .5" out of the left side TTI Aadapter - this has the effect of lowering the front of the motor and provides more clearance between the motor and the right inner guard.
OIL SYSTEM
DIPSTICK - Milodon are discovering that their 6.1 dipstick is the wrong length.
FIX – ATM they are modifying them on a “return” basis….hopefully they’ll wise up and fix the issue.
MILODON PAN GASKET – Variety of issues – Stud hole not large enough, splash tunnel not deep enough, etc
FIX – Do what I did…use the factory splash tray/gasket and trim the ears off it and drill two extra holes to match the Milodon pan.
OIL FILTER – The TTI right side adapter mount fouls on the TTI block off plate.
FIX – Some small grinding required.
Or,
FIX – Run a Dakota angled filter mount – a shorty filter and some grinding is required.
In any case, clearance for remote oil hoses is tight between the auxiliary oil ports and the Alt.
ALTERNATOR
CLEARANCE - 6.1 passenger Car Alt sits too low and fouls the right frame rail.
FIX – Provided the engine mount problems are fixed…the Jeep Cherokee 6.1 Alt provides more clearance to the inner guard.
The difference in available clearance is about .5"
Or,
FIX - Buy a March pulley kit system
Or,
FIX - Clearance the inner fender fold with a grinder.
REGULATOR CONNECTOR – The modern G3 Alt. has a twin post external regulator socket.
FIX – Connect one to the F(-) on the reg and the other to 12V switched.
CURRENT – The G3 Hemi Alts can make 150 or 160 amps – This will fry the old factory ammeters at full load.
FIX – Fit an extra “shunt” wire that runs from the Alt. post to the starter relay – this “splits” the current and makes it highly unlikely your car will ever draw enough load through the existing Alt wire to cook your ammeter. Use 10 or 12 gauge wire.
SENDERS
COMPATIBILITY - My crate 6.1 runs non-compatible senders to the later MSD Hemi 6 ECU harness.
FIX – Buy later 5.7 Cam and Crank sensor if using the later Msd harness with the MSD ECO.
STARTER
CLEARANCE - The two rear most pan bolt lugs on the left side interfere with the body of the Mopar mini-starter.
FIX – The two left rear-most oil pan bolt lugs cast into the block must be trimmed back to allow clearance for the starter when using the Mopar mini starter.
Or,
Use a 2005 Ram starter. (This may interfere with TTI headers)
RADIATOR
INLET/OUTLET - LOCATION AND DIAMETER - There is no direct compatible radiator for the A Body / G3 6.1 conversion.
FIX - Champion makes a “B Body 6.1 radiator” – however although on the correct side - the inlet / outlet pipe diameters are reversed.
They ARE on the correct side however– so with modifications its still probably the cheapest option.
Hope this helps guess looking into this conversion
67 RO23 clone with 6.1 SRT Hemi and dual quads. Soon to have Drag Pak induction and Throttle body.

Can someone post the differences between the different Gen III hemi cam cores, valvetrain, and timing chains? Oil pumps?? Vital info needed!

I can tell you the tensioners are different between the 5.7 and the 6.1 I believe the base circle on the cams are different also. 6.1s run a valve spring "shield" intended to control spring "squirm" 6.1s originally came with a "blue stripe" intake valve spring - this is allegedly a higher seat and open pressure than the "green stripe" you'll find in most later crate motors. Probably not much help to you but there ya go.....

Thats all true. The stripe color changed, and when it changed...the quality (open and closed spring pressure) dropped.

The G3 5.7 valve spring's also use a "sheild", cup, damper or whatever you want to call it, but from my experience, the tab's have beeen known to break off so I went to a spring locator with shim's.

From my experience as a dealer tech the original valve springs did not have that sleeve. They were prone to breakage and objectional noise. The TSB to replace all the valve springs came with the replacement springs that had that sleeve on them. I don't really think it was to address any "squirm" issue but rather more a noise issue.

I might also offer that guy's with no computer exsperience, ie laptop, data logging, etc...Stay away from EFI and go with a carb. You can adjust your idle speed with the same ole screw driver you used from the 60's vs waiting for an email tune. Every EFI build I've been envolved with, somehow, someway got married to the car as far as tuning is concerned.
