After much consideration I decided to pull the trigger

..............After a lot of searching I decided on a 6.1 Hemi and 5 speed auto from a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT 8 because it wasn't that much more than the 5.7 Hemi's I was finding online that is supposed to ship this Monday.................. :D

You lost me, here. Just who, where, how, and how much did you get this engine?

The local yards here want REAL big bux for anything hemi
