Nice, keep us posted. I guess I'm putting a wideband on the list lolActually just uploaded a revision today. The initial base tune and first revision have been much better. I’m installing a wideband so we can dial in a/f
I like my A/Fr gauges in my line of sight,but that's only me.That looks good though.What A/Fr gauge are you going with?Sneak peak of where my gauge is going. It’s in primer but I’m gonna paint it and install it when the gauge gets here. I didn’t like the off the shelf options

I put a potential parts list and pricing together here...My 2011 5.7 took a dump last week at 77K miles and I'm looking at swapping in a 6.4 crate engine. Any tips?
Thanks. I'm actually looking at a new crate motor, complete from throttle body to pan, not a long block.I put a potential parts list and pricing together here...
6.4 SRT Longblock build
Figured it's about time I start my own thread on this. Currently looking at the 6.4 SRT longblock with max effort cam from MMX. As soon as @WadXpress gets his all sorted out and tuned, I'll feel more comfortable pulling the trigger lol. I'd definitely like to be able to wait for warmer temps...www.ramforum.com
May want to consider the SRT car 6.4 over the truck 6.4 as it makes more power. A crate SRT will need a truck intake manifold, timing cover, rear sump setup, accessories, and sensors.Thanks. I'm actually looking at a new crate motor, complete from throttle body to pan, not a long block.
Notwithstanding the intake manifold, can't I transfer the rest from the existing 5.7?May want to consider the SRT car 6.4 over the truck 6.4 as it makes more power. A crate SRT will need a truck intake manifold, timing cover, rear sump setup, accessories, and sensors.
Yea you can. I reused my oil pan, timing cover, sensors etcNotwithstanding the intake manifold, can't I transfer the rest from the existing 5.7?
Yup, just worth considering current mileage on existing parts vs getting some new parts while you're at it for preventative maintenance. I'm definitely going overboard on the new parts because I'm planning on turning the long block into as close as a crate engine as possible to help facilitate a quicker swap since the truck is my daily driver.Notwithstanding the intake manifold, can't I transfer the rest from the existing 5.7?
Thanks. And the intake - do I really need to source a truck manifold? Or will the SRT manifold clear? Just trying to keep costs down as I wasn't anticipating installing a $10K engine at 77K miles. But still happy to pay more for a new crate 392 than a plain jane 5.7 reman.Yea you can. I reused my oil pan, timing cover, sensors etc
The car intake points the wrong way,and runs into the alternator brackets on a truck.What let go on your 5.7? If it didn't feed a bunch of crrap back through the intake ports or through the pcv system,odds are you can re-use your original 5.7 intakeThanks.

I was gonna suggest that too.The car intake points the wrong way,and runs into the alternator brackets on a truck.What let go on your 5.7? If it didn't feed a bunch of crrap back through the intake ports or through the pcv system,odds are you can re-use your original 5.7 intake
