5.7 Hemi in a Duster
Please dont get me wrong. I like that Mopar developed an engine like the new hemi. but the only thing Hemi about it is the emblems. Modern, yes. Remotley base of any old tech...Only the rocker shafts apparently. The heads flow well. Time does that for engineers. But a 330cfm smallblock head is not hard to find, and reasonable when you figure on buying a JY 5.7 w/30K miles for $5K. That's what they are around me. And prices like $800-900 for pistons will keep the new hemis (at least modified ones) low on my list for a while. I wouldnt sweat developing any more than the controller and wiring harness right now. find the real niche. Other companies have headers, oil pans, mounts, etc. We need a programmable PCM...preferably with some sort of interface for old car gages. That, would be cool.
