Ok, so I have a 05 Magnum with the 5.7 hemi. Afraid of the valve seat drop issue biting me eventually. So been thinking about head swaps, or possibly getting the stock heads worked on. Porting and new seats and such.
My budget really limits what I can do, will have to wait till tax return time. So been looking into it a bit on the LXForums.
I've come up with a few options, but thinking in the short term would just be cheapest getting the stock ones worked on. No idea of anywhere local though.
Other options are:
Eagle head swap (09+) 5.7. This comes with needing a few thing though. Like exhaust manifolds, mid-pipes, custom pushrods, and to take advantage of the heads an intake manifold, and a tune obviously.
6.1 heads, haven't researched this much, but again should do an intake manifold, and would need a tune. Probably the exhaust manifolds and mid-pipes as well. I'm sure there's other stuff, but haven't looked into it much yet.
Aftermarket heads, near $2k price range just for the heads alone. But the other options will probably run near that anyway, or more.
So question is, anyone have experience with these on here? Any thoughts or something I haven't considered?
