New Hemi Crate Motors

[Orsalak]

Is this as big of a game changer that feel like it is? Can I go to the junk yard pick a 5.7 from an 05 charger and hook it up to my 73 PowerWagon? (Of course I would have to buy the $1700 adapter kit). Would it plug into my 904 transmission. Motor mounts? Ideas?

Biggest issue is after building some engine mounts is usually all the connections. Most of these were throttle-by-wire, so you need the electronic gas peddle, which might make controlling the trans tough if it needs a kickdown linkage.

Fuel plumbing changes too since you'll need an electric fuel pump and regulator, and maybe a fuel return line, though some are returnless now.

Not a bad motor, love the one in my Magnum, though they like to rev so low end grunt may not be what you are used to if you're running a 318 or 360.
