I'm learning what's needed to swap in a Gen3 hemi into my Challenger.
Has anyone bought the Mopar crate motor and controller?
I like the idea of a complete ready to install package.
But I see you need to change the oil pan, any other gotchas?
Does the crate motor have all the front accessories needed to run?
I know I'll have to get a compressor if I want to keep my AC.

I just finished installing the crate 392. https://forum.e-bodies.org/your-restoration-project-roseville-moparts/10/a-g-a-r-this-just-in-week-thirty-five/19258/

The motor comes with manifolds that need to be swapped out. I used TTI headers and sold the manifolds for $350.

The oil pan needs to be swapped out, Holley makes a real nice pan, I sold the original one for $100.

I also removed the oil cooler, although it would have fit with my RMS front suspension, I don't know if it fits with a stock K Frame...I sold it too...you need to buy the filter adaptor fitting.

The crate motor also comes with a dual disc clutch and flywheel set-up that won't fit in most aftermarket bellhousings, so depending on your transmission choice, you likely need a new set-up. I sold the original set-up for $1000.

Along with the engine, you need to buy: The control wiring kit with the gas pedal etc..., The alternator kit, the PS pump kit and the AC compressor kit.

Yep, we have harnesses available. I'll be at Moparty this week if anyone wants to check out my car or ask questions
