This is a Dodge 5.7L Hemi from a 2003-2008 Ram 1500 truck. A guy left it at the shop after he bought a new custom motor for the truck. I think that the truck had 64K miles on it and ran well, but I'm not 100% sure about that. He was saying that he sent it to another shop for work and they substituted it with an identical engine that had more miles on it and he could tell by how dirty the intake manifold runners looked, but that sounded crazy to me, and the guy who was doing the work had some issues and told a lot of crazy (and untrue) stories, especially about why he couldn't pay the rent, so I really didn't believe anything that he said. The rings and valves seem fine (0% leakdown on #1-#7 and 1% on #8), so I'd remove the oil pan and plastigauge the rod bearings before I put it in a vehicle, but it will probably run fine. It's been sitting indoors in a corner for about 4 years gathering dust. It spins easily by hand and I checked the leakdown a couple of days ago. What's included is what's pictured.

You'll have to pick it up in Raleigh, NC if you want it. It's on a stand and I have an engine hoist that can get it in the back of a truck.

Here's what it looks like:

Again, I have no idea what one of these is worth, so make me an offer or bid on it on eBay:

Yes, that's what the Duff car is missing, Chrysler reliability.
