first gen like the old 60's models or like the 2006 chargers? cause im pretty sure a couple of people on theses forums have put 392's in the 2006's, i just cant remember their usernames.
edit: I just searched and WitchyWndy put a 440 in her sublime R/T.
im talking like a new crate 392 out of the new srts in the first gen lx models..it is something i have been thinking about rather then pumping a bunch of money into a 5.7 why not just throw the big boy in it.
i know man. i got to looking you can find a crate 392 for around 7 grand... for the super charger i want will run around 7 grand...the new 392 are putting down sc 5.7 numbers out the box...so why not spend my money with one of them...both of them will both require money to install and i understand the wiring will be the main part with a swap...but it just makes sense to me
You can match the displacement easy enough, true, but I think the differences between the motors is a bit more than just cubic inches. One motor is designed by SRT engineers backed by hudreds of thousands, if not millions dollars in testing, the other method gets you a bunch of parts put together by someone with no testing beyond whatever lifespan the other motors they have built have experienced.
The 6.4 is based on the 5.7L architecture and is just a bored 5.7L. Have you looked at Arrington Performance in Martinsville VA for their 5.7L to 392 Stroker kits? They quoted me a price for the kit and intall for less than what you would pay for the crate engine. They also do the tuning for you.

Sure about that? Based on is not the same as identical, and I would venture to say that while the current gen 5.7 and 6.4 are more common than the old 5.7/6.1, the differences are greater than just some displacement. but I could be wrong, I'll see what I can dig up.
I am finding more info on Modern Muscle, thanks. I see an ad of their's on ebay that gives alot of info. Actually, the swap I'm looking for is for a 2010 Charger Police I just picked up. Thanks Tacoma01. I'll be calling tomorrow.
