looking for info

[Hagar1]

As the title says, looking for info on the 5.7 e-torque vs the regular 5.7 .... Are they interchangeable if the e-torque stuff is stripped off? I'm thinking of buying a 5.7 for my 2012 but the only decent low miler is the e-torque model.
Thanks

Will be interested to see what the answer to this is. Never had an E-Torque or worked on one, but just off the top, this sounds like it would be way more work and trouble than it was worth. A crate engine is about $3,000 plus install, which is how I think I would go.

Deleted. Misread post. You are looking at an etorque ENGINE LOL.

I'm curious as to where you will find a crate engine for $3,000, if I could find one I'd be all over it.

Would be interesting to get crate engine for that price. Usually starts around $6K US (sale Price normally $8K) for crate plus any extra stuff.

Maybe he meant for remand Engine, or has special source.

Even for a reman I seriously doubt the $3000 price tag, unless all the replacement parts are pure Chinesium. Good quality parts ain't cheap. For example, the MDS lifter sets are close to $1500.00 from Mopar parts, then there all of the other parts. Lifters, other than the Mopar ones are junk. There is too much work involved to put cheap parts in that engine.

Three grand is a bargain if the engine turns out to be a decent one! I agree with you, unless the OP is concerned with numbers matching. I think not!

Your tag indicates you're in Ontario, Canada.
If you're looking for new, perhaps this business could help.
They may be able to also track down a good used one as well.

Google is your buddy. It is how I found them.

I'd be happy with a good used engine. A new one would obviously be great but, I guess I could always rebuild the one I have. I was just looking to save some time. Thank you for the info.

Not concerned about numbers matching, just don't want to start it up to discover I bought one with a tick.
Looks like I'm back to building my own.

Damn they've either really jumped in price in the last 2 weeks,or you guys out east are getting the Trudeau treatment,as those engines are about 6G on our local market place.The last time i looked at them,was a couple weeks ago at most.

Good ol'e Ontario take it with no grease pricing for sure

reman versus crate, what is the difference? Crate doesn't mean what it once did. If you want top quality new block you want blueprinted "crate" engines. Anything else is just a rebuild.

why are you abandoning your engine, crack?

Have you checked lately? Prices have been increasing. Around here anyway.

Lifter tick and I'm just plain tired of it. I have some driveability issues that I'm now led to think it is part of the cam problem. When it comes to " blueprinting" ... I can do a decent job of that myself. It is after all essentially, just building to manufacturer's specs.
This isn't the first engine that I've built but I've been retired for near 18 years. Still have a decently equipped shop.
It is just at my age, I'd prefer to be doing something else.
