6.1 engine swap

I've been seeing alot of messages talking about a 6.1 cam swap in the 5.7. But I'm just curious, anyone swap a 6.1 engine into a Ram yet? Anyone plan to?

I think the HEMISHOP has done one or two 6.1L swaps... they also build some CRAZY engines. Not the nicest people in the world but they build some bad *** HEMI STROKER engines.

That's what is in an SRT-8 Jeep...a 6.1, in fact a slightly DETUNED 6.1 (means less horsepower...). Personally I'd get one from a Charger then play with it.

RE: 6.1 engine swap

what about the rumored 6.4? anybody hear anything about those? I wouldn't mind waiting a little while if I could get my hands on a 6.4 in a year or two
