Looks like they changed quite a few things actually. Not sure why they would have moved the alternator...

Looks like there's some kind of a "growth" on top of the Hemi, also.

Looks like the 2.7 and 3.5/4.0 that is in the FWD cars. Im willing to bet thats what you are looking at. Thats why the alternator is in that position. The present one in FWD cars look like that.

thats the sebring/avenger/journey accessory setup in those pics. transverse engine placement. i doubt those covers will fit due to the different intakes. the 5.7 cover is from the ram.

That's what I thought too, But that's the photo that comes up when you click on the "Powertrain" link on the 300 page at chrysler.com.

Yes it does look like it must have been removed. Also there are caps over the strut bolts.

We noticed that they were down a valve at LX nats this year. Wildrider's Challenger has he same upper intake as mine but with one of the valve locations plated over. Donjonsw's Chally has a slightly different intake with a plug cast right in. Interesting to see the differences between two 09 Challenger SEs

There is no "new" 3.5. As has been pointed out, the 2.7 and 3.5 in that picture are the ones for transverse mounting in FWD models, not the LX. Someone in Chrysler's ad and web design department screwed up. Originally Posted by Challenger370

I got hastey, what I meant was http://www.allpar.com/mopar/phoenix-engines.html
I love new engine technology, more power, less emmissions, better fuel echonomy. Todays 3.5L performs at the same level as the 70's v8's (except the 426 and 440) or very close to it. And the 5.7L produces 120hp more, and only suffers 1 mpg for that.
I get so excited, I make mistakes sometimes.
