    5.7 swap to 6.1

    It did. I think it was around the 75cc chamber heads or somewhere around that size

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    Found a stroker kit that would make mine a 394 (.020 over) for $2500. 9.5:1 compression ratio pistons.

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    I’m thinking the 6.1 heads. From everything that I’ve researched and read, it’s the best bang for my buck. I’m currently running a programmer with the 89 octane program. So if I can get around 10-11.1 compression ratio, I think I’ll be good. What cc piston would I need to get that? I think...

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    If I can find a set of 6.1 heads, I think I’ll go with those. According to that article, it’s the best way to get the most rwhp out of a stroked 5.7.

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    I can fab just bout anything. Just curious if the price difference between getting 5.7 heads re-worked is comparable to just putting on a set of 6.1 heads.

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    Did someone say I could use the 6.1 heads on the stroked 5.7? Cause if they flow better stock then I may just go with those then have to re-work the 5.7 heads

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    I’ve found a used 5.7 for $500 in a single cab. Gonna do the assembly myself. Does FAST make an intake for the 5.7 like they do for the LSX?

    Thank you all for the help. It’s given me a good direction to start looking, figuring up budget, and buying stuff

    What about the Edelbrock performer heads?

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    Not bad specs. Really not looking to race. Would like torque when I go muddin. Not really picky on mpg since I already get 12mpg now. Would like for it to sound healthy. Think I’ll go with the punched out 5.7 and p&p the heads with bigger valves. Also, what size injectors would be needed...

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    I appreciate all the help. I’m more of a GM guy, so not quite sure bout Hemi’s. I love my truck though. So I’m thinking a stroked 5.7, p&p heads, good cam, intake and headers. Should be a pretty good setup.

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    So either a 6.1 short block or a stroked 5.7 would be my best bet. Now if I go with a stroked 5.7, what’s a good cam to run. This truck is my daily/play toy. And as far as transmission goes, what’s a good one to replace my stock one with?

    5.7 swap to 6.1

    I’m pretty sure there are threads on this topic already but need help. I have a 2004 4x4 with 5.7 with 250,xxx miles. Starting to get blow by in the cylinders, oil residue on the air cleaner. Since I’m going to eventually put an engine in my truck, what are the main things to swap in a 6.1...
