So, I am buying my first Crossfire on the 22nd. It's an '05 6 speed with 10,000 km on it. I got it for an incredible $15,000 CND through my dad's buddy who owns a dealership. I guess they seriously hosed the person trading it in... and everything on the CARFAX comes up A1, So I'm confident I'll be ok with it.

Anyway, I know there is a Mercedes V8 swap project underway here on the forums, but I'm wondering what others think of putting the crate 5.7 Hemi from Mopar into it. My brother in-law works for Chrysler LLC and he gets massive deals on that kind of stuff ($4,000 for the fuel injected, computer and all, more than half the MSRP) - And I know STARTECH makes a 6.1 at some ridiculous price... so its doable.

Any thoughts on this? And if someone has already made a thread on this, sorry for the dup.
