Anybody here ever take a complete new Hemi out of a new Chrysler 300

Oh I wouldn't go that far. I'm doing the swap on a paupers budget you just need to be frugal and know how to fab up most of your own stuff like mounts headers and stuff like that.

OK, how much did he engine cost?

I haven't seen a hemi worth using listed for less than I have in my engine, air cleaner to pan. And that's done in the car and running 11s.

Look at this hassle and $$$ for 250 wheel horsepower. LOL

I'm not saying it isn't cool or different (if you're into that) to do a new hemi swap, I just can't see spending the money when you can have a higher horsepower conventional small block for a LOT less.
