345 vs. 392

So as a fellow Canuck; was that $11,000 for a 2500 6.4 or the 485hp 6.4? And I take it that wasn't installed yet either?

That's just the cost of the engine

For the SRT 6.4. Up to you to install it and tune it.

I totally understand why alot of Ram and Mopar Enthusiast build a 5.7 instead of a 6.4 because the 5.7 is what they already paid for and a 6.4 swap is just not in the budget.

I'll throw modifications at anything. 5.7 Ram, 6.4 Charger, 3.2 Volvo my lovely wife drives (SUV is in her name, not mine). Most of my customers would love to swap in a big inch HEMI but for the cost of a new long block I can sure make a ton of reliable horsepower and torque and make my customers fast and happy.

I don't think that was what he was asking,if you read his original post.I think he was inquiring why guys would build a 5.7 instead of a 6.4

Yup. That was it. To me, and it's just my opinion, I think I would rather swap out for a 392 rather than to sink big $$$ into a 5.7 just to attain 392 performance.
