 Subject: Hemi weight advantage.
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok fellas, I've been debating s/c'ing my 4.7 or waiting for the hemi crate engine. One of the deciding factors is the difference in weight. The old hemis were extremely heavy, but the new 5.7 is listed as being 56 lbs. lighter than the 5.9. So, from what I figure, that puts the 5.7 at around the same weight as the 4.7, and lighter if I was to add a supercharger to the 4.7. Does anyone have the exact weights of these two engines, or want to voice their opinions on what the best route to take would be?
Thanks,

A hemi crate engine... You will be waiting a long time, I bet. The way I look at it is that a turbo 4.7 can pull 12s what more do I need.

50 something pounds is not much, when talking about a 4,000 + pound truck. definatly not worth the money on a crate engine

yeah, and i cant beleve i am going to admit it, but i ran a 14.9@95
my 60' was a 2.4, and the staging lanes were not level. i had to use my right foot for the break and gas, and the left for the clutch, and try to launch it without spinning too much..hahaha yeah! (this i was NOT ready for). Also, i let the clutch out of 2nd too fast, and it slipped out of gear. (was my 1st time at the track and i was a little nervious) on top of that, it was 104 degrees out, with a 10 mph headwind.
i was only getting 4 1/2-5#'s of boost, and i was on the stock TB.
since then, i have added a 52mm TB, and i am getting ready to change the exhaust, get some 24# injectors, slicks and a 9# pulley. and maby, just maby, a alky/water injection system
here is me beating my buddies blown RT. yeah, it was a bad day for all of us.

Hmmmm....you definitely need to sort that out.
My guess was you would run 14.0s at around 100 mph, with your biggest problemm, being, getting all that power to the ground.
Well, dude, half the fun is the struggle involved getting there! So, sort it out and don't disappoint us...

Does anyone know if you can by a 4.7 crate or where to look for a 4.7. I'm looking to swap my aging 5.2. I would go for a Hemi, but that would have too many problems to sort out.

Do you have to have a driveshaft loop when you put on skicks at your track. I am pretty sure they require them at my kinda local track.

Saw the new Hemi at the Auto Show at the State Fair. They had the engines there cut in two and you could see inside. It was pretty cool to see the hemi pistons. The 300 HemiC was a pretty slick looking car.

Intense dak39: Thats the same add that I saw. Engine was all chromed out, and said they could add ported heads for a little extra cash.
400hp hemi =$6500
400hp turbo 4.7 =$5500
I don't know, a fresh engine and the hemi's cool factor might be worth the $1000. Plus I could sell the 4.7 to cover the cost of the swap.....
Think that hemi would bolt up to my 5 spd or a t-56?
