Has anybody converted his 6.4/392 Hemi to non MDS? I've been reading a few posts about swaps and not using the MDS can lead to engine failure starting in the MDS lifters.

I would like to convert my MDS 6.4/392 Hemi to non MDS by replacing the valve roller lifters. I would like to buy new lifters through rockauto, but don't know which ones to buy.

Just order lifters for the same year (as yours) 392 Challenger 6 speed. The 6 speeds do not come with MDS. You can order the plugs for the same car, to replace the solenoids on the top of the block.

I can't speak for sure about ALL crate engines, but I've seen some of them that came with flywheel, pressure plate and clutch which means no MDS. There are a lot of "crate" engines out there that aren't an official, Mopar Performance crate engine. They're complete, over the parts counter crate engines that spec out for auto trans. I believe the official Mopar Performance crate motors come with the clutch.
