Damn they don't give it away and add in the extras but look at what you get when the whole package is under the hood. You can spend 3-$5000 just building a 318. LOL

The 5.7L set up is even less expensive and you can get the crate engine complete with controller for around $8k direct from Mopar with 383 hp and 417 lb-ft torque.

Yeah it’s cool and all. But honestly, starting to wear on me even. Too many people jumping on that band wagon now. I used to love seeing those swaps but now, mostly pass them by unless it’s a total off the charts build.

We all should be in that section. I think if we all obeyed those rules there would not be many cars in the 100 and 200's

At those prices, I am very tempted to get the full kit and drop it in my GTS. It would be badass.
You and I as well as others here have driven 5.7's, 6.1's and a dozen rides in a new Demon. They are a force to be reckoned with and they would be big fun in a old Mopar.
Rear tires and Hurst shifter in my 66.

Of course, I could drop it in the ‘66 since it is already kinda resto-mod anyway. Hell, I could probably sell the engine in there now and pay for half of the cost!
It has been done. Heck even a 5.7 would be great fun and not overdone. Replace a 235 horse small block with a 400 horse mill. Big fun. With a o/d trans and the right gear = 25 mpg+ on the highway and still be able to boil the hides a city block at will.

Just doing what I do
The ‘66 has 3.55 rear gears now so I wouldn’t even need an OD tranny.
I don’t think SLO @Sublime one has ever seen the ‘66. I wonder if he will like the color?
I think this engine could bring a few bucks toward the project...
I bet @Mopar Tim likes the color!
One of my favorite builds on here that I followed along....Scott's too.
You are tempting dave with tincup's build like you tempted scott with 66 minitubbed dart.lol
This will be an interesting.
NWS posts there is 70% chance of rain showers, most likely between midnight and 3 AM.
Wunderground states there is only a 6% chance of precip overnight.
We'll see who was right in the morning.
