| Or you could go lower miles and have a eagle you would need more to make it work like pcm and other stuff I think but that's all part of the game right http://www.lxforums.com/board/f57/5-7-short-block-7500-miles-313399/ Supposedly a beast of a engine when he had it in | |

| Why don't you just trade up to an R/T? You'll get better suspension more features etc? With the prices of used R/T's its a no brainer vs all the time and work you'd have to put in to swapping out the motors. JMO | |

| Lots of work and money!!!! If you are a member of the Z, go on there and search for swapping a v6 for a hemi. Its not as simple as dropping the motor, trans and pcm in. | |
