There are opportunities with this motor. First thing i would do is , make an intake with port fuel injection or water injection to keep the valves clean Oil pan modification to accept a dipstick.
Lets hear what Mr Mason has to say... I can't believe it's almost 20 yrs, but it is. So I purchased my 2005 Magnum rt new. Over the yrs, by picking and choosing, I purchased an entire 6.1 hemi top end. You name it I got it, lifters cam rockers, head, springs, pushrods, intake, injectors, TB, I've collected it. of course over the decades I also have the have the diablosport, and the Tranformer. It's 20 yrs, and time to refresh to old wagon. maybe do some bodywork. I do understand mopar's old 6.1 cam needs to be advanced 4-6 degrees. This is not a race car.. Should I just reach into the pats bin, and deplete the inventory? Is there any boost in there, I'm 59 yrs old, and don't care what I purchased at swap meets.
Yeah, I'll never be able to understand that. As a side note, my video on the hurricane 6 engine having no dipstick was the most watched video in the shortest amount of time frame that I had ever put out.
If it was a Dodge Engine instead of stellantis Engine I'd have a lot more faith in it, but all I've been hearing is these engines popping, In the trucks mostly, And they haven't even been out that long. I was kind of looking forward to leasing another Gladiator with the high output, but I think I'm gonna skip it, Wait and see what people think of them in a Jeep.
Total slow garbage.i can't believe everybody thinks you are just gonna throw 25 lbs of boost at it.The last thing on dodge mind is modifying it for performance.JUNK

Oil pan modification to accept a dipstick.
I'd be more concerned about reliability and longevity vs the tuning potential.
No reliability.i don't think you can even unlock the new pcm.
I am curious to see what it can do, but (like everyone) do wish they would have kept the Hemis along side, Lol

P.S. for street cruising, and driving around.
Another downside, no dipstick. Why complicated such a simple thing like that...
