You may want to think about that Crate Hemi! I have not read or heard one good thing about them.Quality Control poblems. I looked in to them. Got a freind who runs a Mopar parts Department at a Dodge dealer. he did not have anything good to say either.
Let me suggest
) Call John Arruzza at Aruzza High Performance.336 475 0426
I bought mine from him. I got the 527" version. Runs great.
He can also supply you with one that will use your existing K frame( otherwise the crate motor is going to require a new k frame. Hemispherical Products in CA sells them. $500. 909 929 9767.I went that route. This was before I had a choice.
Tell John ,Mark in VA, says Hello!!! If you want to speak live about this conversion. you can email me for my phone #. I have beenthere,done that. Benefit from my mistakes..

There is an option to the Hemi in an B engine bay now shumacher now has mounts to fit a Hemi to a b engine mount

they are in the new Mopar Muscle and High Performance Mopar Mags in the shumacher advertising.

Just call them for the info too.
