I have one of these to sell next month and need to know the best place to advertise it and also what to ask for it? its from an 06 Charger with 2400 miles and comes complete with gearbox,looms,ecu and everything that's needed to run it. 340 bhp and 390 lbs ft torque are the figures. Thanks

It's a big yank ohc cam, single? No chance on a tvr, maybe in a bus, a small truck or something equally heavy smile Those performance figures aren't great either so don't expect a lot for it or a fast sale. I doubt you'll sell it on here, sorry. What does it weigh? If not heavy you may get a bite?

Dodge = Chrysler. Ergo Hemi.

The current Chrysler Hemi engines are all ohv engines, meaning that they have one camshaft centrally located in the block, like, say, Chevy LS units. This is just a guess, but I'd think that it'll fit wherever a small block Chevy engine would fit. Unlike an LS, however, it uses an iron block. Only the heads are aluminum.

Forget it. Iron Block in an SBC or larger lump. Huge about of extra weight to lug about and dimension wise you'd have to get the twoo side by side but and LS is a tad larger thank an RV8 but a good tight fit, anything bigger and or heavieris going to big big problems so in the end pointless and not as goodwink

Yep, this ain't going anywhere.........
