Default So...tell me about hemi crate engines....

So I've been reading on the net that mopar hemi crate engines are not put together well. Is this true? I was leaning towards yanking out the 383 and putting one in.

Thoughts please?

I think that he meant the standard Hemi, not the 5.7 Hemi.

There were some initial issues with clearances. Many people who purchased them, removed the pan and checked the bearing clearances. They are all new and were all dyno checked (atleast since last year)
