I got it in a buddy deal with a bad 5.7 . It would run,but not well/had been overheated to death.

So it sat around for a while as I half way kinda kept flip flopping on a rebuild or a replace. Then a smashed up jeep with a fresh reman 5.7 Hemi popped up on marketplace. As usuals-my trailer at the time was loaded up at a buddy’s,so I rented a U-Haul and picked up the Redneck Cadillac lol.

All in all,was not a terrible engine swap- car runs and drives. And has cleaned up really well. My oldest Son recently had a Birthday and is working on his permit- This was his Big Present-and he is super excited-
