Hemi in an e-body

540 crate confirmed by NHRA

440

I agree with Crazy on the rear-end. I would find and use a Dana 60. Anything bigger then the Dana is aftermarket and $$$...

I agree with MAX on 440
A 440 with stage 5 aluminum heads is the way to go. (most bang for the buck) Being a Duster is an A-body Mopar you will battle with some room issues. Most of the Super Stockers hammer in the shock towers to make room for the headers when using a hemi head. There are many who have done what you are l...

I see allot of folks have past this question by. After thinking about how to phrase I see why. Siamese bored blocks are not brand new they have been around for awhile. A Siamese bore is where the cylinders are sharing sleeve medal thus the outer cylinder sleeves are touching. The advantage of Siames...

540 Crate
On November 3rd at the 2004 SEMA show Chrysler announced a new Aluminum 540 crate hemi. As of today this engine doesn't seem to exist. I have exhasted my Chrysler and Mopar Performance contacts with no answers.
Has anyone heard the status of this engine?
