Hemi swap in dmv

**truwest562** · 08-29-2008, 11:07 AM

I'm really close to purchasing a hemi 5.7 from cleveland pick a part for my se.
The only thing that's keeping me from pulling the trigger is that I need a place in the DMV to do it for me . Can anyone suggest a good shop

for what you are going to pay, you might as well trade in for a 5.7 with the cost.

Its not hard swap but if your paying someone to install of this..your gonna pay a arm and leg...You might wanna think this over.IMO

well the engine and all components is about 2500 and I'm guessing about another 2000 for labor and misc parts like suspension etc... So about 4500 total . My cars Kbb is about 11000 , damn American cars. So even if I trade 11000 towards a 18000 rt that's about a 7 grand loss.

I saw an all wheel drive 300C 5.7 for 15K and it had very low miles.
You'd be buying low but no headaches...TRADE!

Yeah I would trade in and just get a 5.7. I think you will have less problems and headaches. You would save money now and in the long run. jimo.

you may save a few grand by doing the swap but that money is wasted as far as retail goes. You still have the se suspension exhaust interior everything. I agree with everyone else it will be cheaper and a better idea to trade in.
