The easier and quicker thing would be to go with a crate, the swap could probably be completed over a weekend. If I went with a rebuild, that would take a few weeks due to waiting on the machine shop. I am not in a hurry, and a rebuild would result in me keeping my original engine. I have priced crate engines from $1800 to $2800.
I am hearing 400 blocks are becoming harder to find? I have not heard of a 451 crate? This build once upon a time I called. "Poor man's stroker?" When 440 forged cranks were still in scrap yards. Chevy's poor man stroker is the 383/388 SB. I keep an eye out for 400 bare blocks.
The Mopar Performance crate engine kit is available from many vendors, so shop around to get the best price. I got mine from the salesman “Frog” at moparproshop.com. Only bummer was $450 to drop ship to the house. Once installed the engine fired right up and all components worked as expected.
When used with the recommended carburetor, ignition and exhaust system, this engine will produce over 525 horsepower at around 5300 RPM and well over 625 foot-pounds of torque at around 3700 RPM. It will have approximately 10 to 1 compression ratio and will have a “Choppy” High Performance idle.
Location. Kansas. Feedback: 0 / 0 / 0. Contact seller. This is a never been used 6.4 Hemi Crate engine I picked up from Scoggins-Dickey's back in October of 2022. Price: $6600. Location: Emporia, Kansas. Local pick up only atm. If you are looking for additional parts for a 2nd gen B-Body conversion, PM me as I will be selling off a new Holley ...
Here is a TKX behind a 6.4 crate Hemi using Holley mounts in a 67 B Body. Height of shifter "tower" and contact with the drivers side of tunnel result in more mods being needed than I hoped. I think I would get the tranny needed to match the power output of your engine. Last edited: Dec 15, 2021. Dec 16, 2021.
A buddy runs a 400/470" with performer heads, hughes engines solid ft cam. runs strong. my 2 above are solid roller cams. The 400/512" looks like a nice combination for a torque monster combination. I haven't built one yet, so no personal experiance with that combination. Have also done a few 440/505" and 512".
Evoking said: I am wondering what the general consensus is. Is it cheaper to buy a 408 stroker kit for an existing 360 or buy a stroked block and transfer over all components? Obviously more labor to stroke the existing engine. But the kit is only $1200-$1800 internally balanced. A crate would run $5200.
Illinois. hsorman said: I am in the midst of building a 340 stroker. With the big bore of the 340, it will displace 416 cubic inches. I didn't want to dramatically increase the cubic inches without addressing the heads. Since an engine is essentially an air pump, you need a lot more flow with a lot more cubic inches.
Location. Nassau, NY. I have gathered all the parts for a 6.4 crate engine swap into a 68 Coronet wagon. I added the Mopar FEAD accessories some of which will require some triming. I went with Holley for pretty much all the swap pieces. As I mentioned in a different thread, my Terminator X Max took 6 mos. to get.
