Picking up a 2014 5.7 in a few days...
Well this is probably going to be a very long-term project anyway so I have plenty of time to do research and tear down and inspect the engine. My '70 Duster is currently out of commission, 360 broke a piston so now I'm just trying to get it back on the road by rebuilding the original 318 that it came with. So basically after I pick up this Hemi it's probably going to sit in my garage the next couple months while I build that 318. I thought about "shifting gears" and starting the Hemi swap now since it's apart but... there's sooo much stuff I need for the conversion and it'll be a while till I accumulate all that I just want the car back on the road. I'm kind of in-between jobs at the moment too so income isn't really solid.
