5.7 Hemi to be a 6.1 - 6.4
So a buddy of mine took out and rebuilt a 5.7 Hemi thats out of a GC
He is asking 4K for it.
1- is that a reasonable price for a rebuilt motor?
I'm thinking If I bought it I would like it to be modified ( since it's not put back together) to a 6.1/6.4 Hemi
2- Would it be possible to have a manual for a 6.1 6.4? ( I know the new chargers have manuals in them and they have a 6.1 Hemi)
3- If that doesn't work would an adapter work with the 6spd I have now?
4- I want to supercharge this engine but also use it as a Daily driver ( any recommendations? ( I hear of some mods being done to the engine it's self) to make it handle all of that power.
Thanks

Unless this was a close friend i would watch out for the word "rebuilt"
sometimes if the job is not done properly or by a professional the motor could only last for about 15000 miles, for instance, when he bored out the engine if he didnt hone it properly this could throw off the pistons....blah blah blah you get the big pic

ALL LX platform vehicles (Charger/300/Dufunked Magnum) all came with the 5 speed manualmatic tranny . The new Challenger will be available with a manual I believe for the 09/10 model year.
