Not as exotic but it is lighter. In my case that 100lbs is huge.
Agreed. I'm dropping 200 lbs going from a B/RB to my Iron block 6.1...

Just something I am looking into. It's my daily driver and the 3.8 sucks. I figured this was a great place to start asking about the Gen 111 Hemi

I am big fan of the GenIII hemi but if you are looking for a daily driver i would just do a 5.7 stroker "392" I myself have the alum block already and the 6.4 heads for my challenger, however the block was $4200 plus another 1300 for the heads, You can get a whole 5.7 with the computer and drive acc. for that price or less and build a stroker from the 5.7/392 can make a easily 500+hp with the stock block and heads

The Jeep is already heavy and though I do agree the 5.7 would be cheaper the fact that it's 100lbs lighter and it's all aluminum really is what has me looking in that direction.
Ya thats why i went the Alum block route, but if you not building the jeep to race the a 392 stroker on a daily driver 100 pounds is not mgoing to make much of a difference, If only mother mopar had a factory alum block mass produce for have the cost say around 2k

He is re-powering the Dart. He is looking for a weight break by going with a small block.

a hundred pounds isn't gonna mean squat on that daily driver....save $$$$ build a stroked 5.7
Start looking for a tune to go with it
Better yet....throw some hair dryers or a s-charger on it

I would use a 5.7 block, add a K1 Stroker kit, clean up the heads, reuse a truck intake and add a small 220/220 ish cam. Huge torque and driveability for a little bit more than the block alone.
If you want to do it, buy the alum block. We all understand lol.
Yea the aluminum block is probably which way I want to go. So the search and reading will begin.
BTW it's definitely not for the Dart. Someone else will be playing with it soon enough.
The big question is finding a good gen111 builder
BES all the way.
