Hi guys, I have always wanted a 5.7/6.1 hemi in my 69 charger, I just dont know if its worth the cost at this time in my life. I have a 400 block in it with headers , ported 906 heads, cam, 800 eddy carb, rpm performer intake, exhaust, and a rebuilt 4 speed overdrive from a 70s van. Some say if your on a budget (which I am) why not build a 451? I am half way there, I can build it, get the machine work done and any milling at my community college where I am a faculty member. I think I could get the 451 built by myself and students for under 2K where i am not sure what it would cost to get the 5.7 swap done.
What is realistic budget for a full 5.7 swap using my manual trans?
I want my car for the street and track.
Is my 2K budget realistic for my 451?
any input from those more experienced would greatly be appreciated.
thanks
