It's too early to find out about the truck heads. I wish I knew.
I have a feeling the hellcat heads are identical also. They said they're made from a completely different alloy also.
09 and up 5.7 (eagle) use the same cover as the 6.4. The area that seals against the spark plug tube is recessed, because the plug tubes are shorter.
So can the 6.4 heads work on a 5.7 bore? Even with say a .020" overbore? If so, I am going to pull the trigger on those heads that sixpackgut mentioned...wondering if they are bare or complete heads for that price also.

I think Apaches need 4.06 or larger bores or a notch.

Based on info from this read I would say no.. read it for yourself http://modernmoparforum.com/topic/12135-57-61-and-64-hemi-cylinder-head-comparison/
I read that already...but I am wondering if with an overbore a 5.7 can use those heads? Although I am thinking no as well since there is a .170" difference in bore size between the 2 engines.

Charger; as for the electronics I have the MS3x box and the two harnesses, a pair of DIY Autotunes "Quadspark" coil driver boxes, boost control solenoid, air and coolant temp sensors. cam and crank sensors (OEM), coils (OEM),eight resistors for the low imp. injectors and a bunch of connectors from a junk yard harness. Almost all was purchased from www.diyautotune.com. The MS was bought in a kit form and the set up for the hemi is on their website.. There is a butt-load of wires in the harness, but I only used half....but half a "butt-load" is still a lot! Eight injs., eight coils, TPS, temp sensors, fuel pump, power and ground. idle motor/solenoid (I don't use one) It was a rewarding challenge.

It can be an expensive changeover, I know I'm in the middle of it, but the route you take depends on the core engine you end up with. I traded a 19yr old 400/448 for a worn out 6.1 that had dropped a valve. It needed bored .010 over and that turned into wth and stroking it. It came with new valves, one good head, a good 6.1 intake, New takeout pistons and rings, valvesprings, etc. The intake is why I chose the EFISource setup. If starting from scratch, going carb may save a few bucks but if efi is in the plans might as well get that ball rolling right off the bat.

Thats why I'm going with EFI now... I figure it'll be at least a year before I get a gen 3 turbo built up and in the mean time I can run the EFI on my 416 and learn about it and get the feel of it before I hang the EFI on the gen 3 turbo

Someone needs to start a "What works and what does not Gen 3 Hemi" thread and sticky that sucker to the top.
Stuff like: what front dress, what oil pan, what hp level the stock crank/rods/pistons typically decide to die, whose engine mounts and headers work well, what heads fit what blocks, etc etc etc.
