I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) that is my beloved project rig. I do not like the 4.7L V8's that came in those and I am _going_ to swap in a different V8. I'd like to keep it Mopar (too many LS swaps out there already). I was going to ask in the comments if the Eagle heads would swap but, you just clarified that for me. I'm also considering a 360 Magnum. A strong, low RPM idle and off idle torque are far more important to me than upper RPM horsepower. Do you think a stroked Magnum would be best for me? Or a Gen3 Hemi? I just wanted to say, thank you. Now my head is spinning with ideas. SWEET! . . . do you have a channel or website? . . . greetings from Alaska.

It's the perfect swap if you want to improve an old 6-cylinder Challenger/Charger/Barracuda/Valiant while keeping it in the Dodge family. 470-500hp is more than enough for a chassis of that age (might even need some additional bracing), and it will sound and look the part.

Great video David, This is one of your best episodes!!!! I learned so much.

Thanks for doing this comparison, it was super interesting, I thought it would be a lot closer than that! I remember when I got my Challenger R/T back in 09 I went to a car show with a friend who bought a 07 Charger R/T and he was complaining that his 5.7 felt kind of slow all I could remember thinking was "man what are you talking about this engine is a lot of fun!". This comparison just shows how many differences between the 2 engines there really are! Now having done a cam swap/headers and 3" exhaust to my eagle 5.7 I've got to say it's 10 times more fun than it was back then. Great engine, great comparison, thanks for the video!

Albeit 2015 and up..i had a Charger Daytona with the 3.06 gears and had a little more hp than the regular RT,my Challenger was a daily from 09-16 with 185,000 trouble free miles..My nephew bought it from me(stole it lol) he ran it to over 200,000..He sold it for a new Journey RT awd for the wife as they had a kid,hey they were 22 at the time.

LOVE the info and definitely feel you sweating it out in the shop. Much love

I can finally relate to one of your shows. Thanks for the working man’s engines.

Yep throw on some eagle or 6.1 heads, flow is nearly identical, slight edge on the intake for the eagle and slight edge on the exhaust for the 6.1 heads and both raise the compression on the early motor with no VVT to worry about and the block and rotating difference are negligible. If your planning to stroke one really makes no difference besides the eagle version is now easier to get aftermarket parts for. I'm in the process of getting parts for a 396ci stroker pre eagle with ported 6.1 heads with claimed 370cfm on the intake side with compression in the 10.5 - 11.0 range with 237/251/113/+3.5 camshaft and a ported 6.1 intake.

I guess it depends on what your baseline is. If I was considering a Hemi swap, it'd be in my Dakota R/T and the stock 5.9 already has the torque covered pretty well. Same would be true for an older Mopar with anything bigger than a 318. I think what makes the Hemi worth considering as a platform is that high-end breathing. If it's not going to spin then I don't see the point of choosing a Hemi at all as opposed to low-buck LA or Magnum motor. Also, the big thing with the modded Eagle motor was they put a bunch of cam in it. The stock one really did have buckets of torque everywhere. Personally that's the one I would choose, just so I didn't have to tear into the thing. Although what I'm REALLY going to choose is to keep my stock 5.9 because I'm poor.

This isn't the full episode. It's the meat and potatoes of it. The full episode is 35 minutes long. But ya, you're not missing much.

I had an 08 pre eagle engine with ported heads, long tubes, and a custom cam with the same lift you used and 214/222 duration at 112LSA+3° ground in that laid down 360hp @5500 and 360tq @4500. Bone stock the truck laid down 260hp@5000 and 275tq@4200. That's roughly a 100rwhp gain and if you do the back math to the engine that was rated at 345hp and 375tq, it's producing 477hp and 477tq. I think y'all probably chose the wrong cam and the carburetor was a poor choice vs the stock EFI and manifold. The answer is still unequivocally yes, the eagle engine is superior to the pre-eagle engine.

With 6.1 intake. It be cool to swap an 8speed with the vvt in a 3rd gen but I think it's a lot of trouble and more money to do. But can be done though.

When shopping for plugs, if you're not using nitrous or a supercharger or turbocharger stick to OEM plugs. Even when guys run those modifications most of them stick to the same design and manufacturer plug that came out, they just have to use a cooler heat range. The engineers did their homework to make the most durable and consistent performing engine they could. Also in my experience, running an "upgraded" plug that's made out of a different material changes the resistance of the plug (usually decreasing it which means the coils have to work harder) causing intermittent drivability issues and premature coil failure.

Agreed 100% Without that it is not an accurate comparison.

I disagree, yes the 2003-2008 is down on power, but it's far far cheaper. Sitting stock, it makes better torque earlier, swap in a set of Edelbrock heads and the 03-08. you might pick up 50 of the lost 100 HP. If you get the 03-08 with computer, wiring and everything for 400-1,000 dollars, do the same cam with Edelbrock heads and a proper oilpan, this could be a solid streeter in a midsized to early small car such as a Volare/Aspen or a Dart/Valiant. Honestly the early gen 3 hemi's had possible issues (didn't always happen, but enough for concern) with exhaust valve seats popping out, you need ahead swap anyways, may as well get a set of Edelbrocks or any other performance based decent priced head. Not a huge fan of VVT anyways, if i had it i'd be eliminating it, so for a streeter with occasional drag runs, the older one would be perfect for me

@3pedaljay231

I was thinking nearly the same thing. This wasn't a fair comparison IMO. The Pre-Eagle engines need some modifications to keep it an apples to apples comparison, mainly better/aftermarket heads, and a better cam choice. Both engines need spring upgrades, which most everyone does with a cam swap regardless. At the end of the day, They compared stock for stock, with an improper cam swap. If this was done correctly with proper springs, Both engines would make a bit more power, and the Pre-Eagle unit, give a fair cam swap, would have done a lot better. Still not as good as the Eagle but better.

I'm glad they did this test. For me I have an '05 Hemi in a '67 Dart post. Converting it over to carburetor was more expensive for me. I wanted the motor but I wanted it to look like a classic motor. That's why I converted over to carb. The difference is I bought a throttle body fuel injector with fuel rails so it's not really a carbureted engine. Obviously you lose a lot of horsepower going this route as proven by this video above. I have a small cam in it to make enough HP power for me to spin the wheels and sound the part. It's not a world beater but it's a ton of fun.

To fit either foolinjected engine to an early car is that you need at least the computer they come with. Then you have to wire it into the car. Expensive! Using a Holley set up is more expensive and doubtfull any better on a stock engine. My suggestion is use a carby 360 with good aftermarket heads, carb and ign. And it should bolt in. The same with SBC V LS in a GM scenario. By the time you buy everything to fit the LS spend the same money on the SBC and it is as good. And fits the car!! The only adavantage is the weight of the alloy enegine,,, but people are not using them!! The later efi engines are excellent in a car they belong too. Though it costs plenty to extract more power

Mine is an eagle engine but hard to deny how cost effective the old ones are provided you don't modify.

Yeah the eagle head basically flows what an Apache head does on the intake. Exhaust is a lot worse. I think realistically. A 243 maxed out with a crazy port job from either TEA or AI is the best you can get from a factory cathedral head. Which is still not as good as a stock Eagle head. Being able to run more cam on a LS would make up the peak power. but torque would be lower down low. The older 03-08 Hemi is more evenly matched since they're relatively the same age. Have similar head flow numbers stock. EFI, non VVT, etc.

@Lacy Gilmore they seem to have all their [power Nation franchise] based off carbs. It is faster to build without showing vehicle specific engine management. They give a baseline figure for "no prep, 1960's racing" and can get more power on dyno without heavy fuel management. All the engine builds where they show "and it comes with pre-cast holes for fuel injection, if you choose to go that route, but we're opting for blah blah blah carb", it would be nice to see a build where they actually used them, and built a motor to go into today's muscle, as there is not as many yesteryear vehicles [left] being modified.

Will the eagle engine bolt up to my 2008 ram transmission? I have a 2wd and thought why upgrade the 3rd gen? Just put a mod eagle in! What about electrical harness hookup? Merry Christmas everyone!

I want to see the gen 3 car vs truck 5.7 I'm having to do the swap now from my wreaked 04 ram to my 06 charger RT

Long tubes, a cam and most importantly, port and polish the exhaust ports as much as possible, and you get massive power out of a 5.7 HEMI. Easily in the 500 - 520hp range. The entire engine is so perfecf for making horsepower... except the exhaust tract. The intake flow numbers are insane. The port angles are perfect. The intake valves are nice and big... but then they put a somewhat small exhaust valves, with a tight exhaust port, a stock cam with not enough exhaust lift or duration, and absolute garbage exhaust manifolds. It's clear too me Chrysler wanted the 5.7 held back for a reason, and I get it. If it had even half decent exhauat manifolds and more appropriate exhaust ports, the 5.7 would turn out an easy 410hp with nothing else. When they upgrades rhe 5.7 in 2009, the 6.1 was making 425hp for $10,000 more. They handicapped the 5.7 because they knew they would never sell the 6.1 for $10,000 more, kf the 5.7 was making only 15 less hp for $10,000 less. That's my theory.

I really want to see you guys put the Holley sniper intake on early gen 3. I want see if it's worth my money and time 😉

Wow, 500 horse power! I own a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 5.7 liter Gen 3 hemi, I might upgrade it with the Comp Cam camshaft , lifters that are solid ported rollers non MDS, intake upgrade, cylinder head upgrade with the twin springs each valve, mds coil packs, headers, racing fuel injectors, and dual flow master exhaust.

The thing you have to consider is that these engine dyno runs are gonna be different than a dyno running numbers to the wheels. Also your Jeep is AWD with that crawl mode. If you wanted to make yours more akin to SRT8 performance, you’d probably be better off selling yours and getting an SRT8 when you see the cost of it all. Engine wise, yeah you could build your Jeep. But you’re also going to need to account for what your drivetrain will take. I had an 06 Overland so I know the desire to add some gusto to your WK.

They're not mentioning the cost of a stand alone for the efi. Would love to see a carbed 6.4.

And with either Tri-power or dual quads!

Efi to efi and carb to carb comparo of each engine using a cam of similar lift and duration specs would have been an apples to apples comparo.

You know the saying" there's no replacement for displacement"..well compression ratio (meaning more) is a close second.

Do some 6.1 stuff!!!

Starting to like my 2013 even more now. if you run 87 in this dont try towing or driving it hard. Manual recommends 89 or higher for towing

Did I miss something? That eagle hemi is running almost 50hp and 50lb/ft more than factory claimed. The the "car" eagle hemi was rated at 360-375 crank hp and 375-390 lb/ft. The truck was 380-395 crank hp and 407-410 lb/ft. The pre eagle hemi in the LX cars was rated 345-350 crank hp and 390 lb/ft of torque. So, a peak difference of 25 hp and equal torque between the two "car" engines. These numbers seem to be on par with a lightly modded pre eagle hemi and theirs, but the numbers on the eagle hemi look way inflated unless those are some incredible headers they have on there. From my personal experience, my L92 Escalade ESV absolutely embarresses my wife's 2012 5.7 JGC in acceleration. And, I also have a lightly modded (LMI intake, suitcase delete, hemifever 93 tune, 180° t-stat) 07 300c AWD that has repetitively pulled ever so slightly on my buddies 2013 AWD 300c with just a muffler delete. There is a negligible difference, as the new cars got heavier. But, I can't see 440 crank hp on a "stock" 5.7. That's more than the 6.1 ever made.

No, factory HP ratings are NET not GROSS. Meaning they are tested with all accessories being driven off the crankshaft. On the show, they are using an electric water pump, with no alternator, A/C, Power Steering etc.

Far too many differences tp call it a comparison. EFI to carb, much different cams (.600+ on one to .520 on the other) VVT to adjust cam timing. More like Apples to lemons than apples to oranges.

The earlier model was basically at the limit of what you could do with it (excepting EFI). If you put EFI on the 03-08 would it make up the 100HP differential? And don't forget, you can't put a bigger cam in the 03-08 - it was already maxed out. Not apples to apples for sure but I feel the point was made that the 03-08 is cheaper but tops out way sooner than the eagle version of the GenIII.

@@bgausden I would have been more interested to see them take the Eagle motor and drop a similar system to the older model and see what it did as a more relevant comparison. You can lock out the VVT which would cost top end power and torque, but would have been rather close to the EFI. EFI on both, carbs on both with the same internals would have made more sense IMO. Reminds me of their Windsor vs Cleveland comparison they did where one was a mild motor and the other a stroker kit with more cam and aluminum heads. Yet, as with this it was a comparison LOL

I'd love to see the apache (392) just built stupid power N/A vs forced. I have a 2019 charger 392 ScatPack. "Allegedly" direct connect is bringing back the hellephant and will install it in vehicle without voiding warranty. And MMX has a 426 (hellcat/392 iron block). Of course I would be looking for a difference on build with VVT phaser lockouts and MDS delete (programmed out of an unlocked computer) vs what dodge would "allegedly" install. Not that I could afford this, but just to see.

For a swap into lets say a 79 D100 you still need to consider the cost of a ecm, harness and fuel system for the eagle

@glengallwas6283

Agree, the power the carb motor made is still a step up over what a stock D100 engine makes. Its probably easier to live with at that power level than a LA or RB motor too. Begs the question, how much work does one need to do to make the eagle engine happy in an otherwise stock D100? Is the throttle still fly by wire? Will an off the shelf fuel pump do the job, or does one need swap fuel tanks or buy a pump accompanying the management system? Are you going to have to pay someone to tune it? All things to consider for a swap. To me, the point of having a 79 D100 is it's a simple truck which makes the Eagle a little counter intuitive. Therefore, I think the value of both engines has as much to do with its overall purpose as it does hp per $.

have a question how much horsepower do u lose by locking out the vvt ?? like to put new motor in older car ? but older will not run vvt ? pcm? yes can change pcm ? but emissions is a problom here in ny ??

Question, I have an 06 Magnum, 5.7 , can the Eagle Heads be swapped onto the engine with the intake of a 6.1 or 6.4?

Can y’all do a video of the gen 3 6.4 hemi

Did they upgrade the camshaft oiling so it does not eat camshafts?

Could y’all do the Toyota 5.7 that’s in the 2021 tundra??

I would get an Eagle engine and put boost to it. Hellion twin turbo or cheaper supercharger kit.

I have a 2010 challenger rt 5.7 manual so no vvt. Would it have the eagle heads on it?

I had a 2005 Chrysler 300c early build 07/2004 (I'm talking 16x2 foot long(+-😆) sparkplug wires). @ 120k, I wanted to have some fun, I called up Inertia Motor Sports and put together a plan on a super budget! Purchased a used Eagle intake manifold had my 5.7 heads hand ported to match the eagle intake manifold milled 40 over, a Super Spartan (something something 🤷🏾‍♂️non-mds) this was NOT a rebuild , same 120k rods, pistons,rings, crank NOTHING else! At that time (2011-ish) I was told she had the record for highest HP cam only 5.7 Hemi @ 404rwhp? and she was a lot of fun!! I also had an even earlier build 2005 Magnum R/T (05/2004 build) maybe something about those "SPAGHETTI" wires draped over the manifold 😆 (UGLY engine compartment very basic full exhaust, cai and a hand held box tune and she was fast too for want it was.

So what you're really saying is that even the legendary 340 is a, wait, what was your word..."POOCH" compared to the 2009-Present Hemi. Because a 340 with a cam and bolt on's, using stock cast iron "X" heads, typically only made a little over 400hp.

As I want a cruiser, not a racer, I would go with the earlier engine. The older one seems like it has more low end - important for me - and it is simpler. I don't want computers or EFI, nor do I want VVT, and I don't want double-digit compression ratios.

Didn't hear your talk bout valve Train issues on the later model.??

My junk yard sells engines by number of cylinders not what it is. V-8 short blocks run under $200 and a core drops it more. Hemi's are gone the second they hit the ground.

I’d still go with the older engine cause no MDS

Stroking is always compatible correct?
