Tearing apart hemi 5.7, machine work worth it?

If you are low on cash, you are really going after high dollar build-ups!
How about a warmed up 360?

A bone stock 5.7 will out-perform a "warmed up 360" all day & get better fuel economy to boot.

You guys are paying too much for your 5'7s.

A good 5.7 short block can be had for about $400 if you know where to look.

Nothing wrong W/a stock pre '09 rotating assembly. with the right heads & such it can make 500 HP.

Been there, done that. 426RWHP, 460 RWTQ. 26 MPH on the h-iway in a 4300# LX.
