354 Hemi

This is very inspiring! I have a '05 Ram 5.7 core engine that was absolutely mint on teardown, that I'm cobbling together. I went with 6.1 SRT-8 heads and aftermarket forged dome pistons by DSS for the valve reliefs and around 10.5:1 compression and a Bullet 234/238*@.050" cam with .588" lift and a 112*LSA. Figuring the heads and cam are going to soften the bottom end enough, I went with an OCP dual plane intake and I'm hoping to have enough clearance to run the 6.4L "392" shorty factory headers. If not, I'll have to go long tube ($$$), but it would have to help where I'll need it. I'm thinking about a 904 trans with wide ratio gears and at least 3.55 gears to keep the revs up. Hoping for 425+hp with the stock stroke, so wish me luck... Thanks for the Gen III post!
