Hemi Year

[Dragnut]

So im trying to decide on either a 5.9 Mag or a 5.7 Hemi swap for the 66 Dart..as far as the Hemi goes, is there any year 5.7 that is better than another?

The only thing I remember about the early 5.7 hemi is that they were having problems with broken valve springs.I haven't heard anything bad about that for a long time.

My Vote is magnum. Cheaper by far.

Well I think that depends on what kind of horsepower you looking for. I want around 400 to 450 HP by the time you take a mag motor and stroke it out to make that kind of power it may be cheaper to put the Hemi into the car?? Im still trying to figure this all out....but I want to order my front suspension from Gerst and need to make this decision because of motor mounts.

go with the hemi and be done. especially if you are using the EFI and all...
