Making me want to do an eagle swap on my ‘08 wk

I want to point out, that you can actually put the old pre-eagle MAP sensor into the eagle intake, and won't need to change the connector. I tried this earlier. Both sensors are slightly different but the tube that goes into the manifold is the same.

YEEES!!! I’m glad there will be a definitive how to of this finally! Thank you!

Modern Muscle Xtreme has parts for this conversion....primarily, the intake manifold spacers that allow you to use the pre-eagle manifold on the eagle intake side. I have had this same swap sitting, waiting for a week I can do without my daily.

Thank you for this video! Answered a lot of questions I had 👍

Great video. Looking forward to the progress!

Another great video!

Excellent Video. I love the assembly and fabrication sides. Looking forward to it.

Love it! Tons of great information

Been waiting on this video for months now lol I’m excited!

Another great video Sky

Great educational video and identified some real hidden things with regards to the Eagle heads upgrade. Love these type of videos. Keep up the good work 👍

So cool to see this upgrades on the 5.7

this is my favorite build of yours so far, Super excited for the fabrication portion!

Woohoo!!!!! I haven't watched the video yet but I'm sooo excited!!!!

really enjoyed have been planning on installing a set of eagle heads on pre eagle motor

Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you for your video on the Barton short shifter install I used your install video to install it and my Challenger yesterday it was a lot easier than I thought it would be by watching your video it was absolutely worth every penny I spent on that shifter thank you again

Love this

Nice clean shop,,!

Sky, I love your videos. I’m located in Oregon as well, and I’m curious about those intake plates to mount your supercharger. I’m excited to watch your videos roll out and see the end result

The fans want to see the challenger 5.7 with the 6.4 cam on the dyno!

Great info. My 06 grand Cherokee valve seat drop. Thinking buying used engines and doing some upgrades to it.

Great info, I'm thinking about doing an Eagle head swap on my pre-eagle block and this video will come in handy when building my checklist. Eagle heads, eagle head gaskets, eagle intake and reuse the valve covers. Did you have to replace any push rods after replacing the rocker arms?

Great video!!! Been wanting to see a good technical break down of the swap. What cam would you suggest?

Keep it up

What are you planning on doing to lower the compression? See alot of people run thicker head gaskets but then end up with custom length pushrods to match.

Engine masters made me embarrassed to have a pre-eagle engine! Pooch I believe was the word.

any advice on building a 6.1 with a static 12:1 compression ratio? aiming for the occasional nitrous hit. want to stay naturally aspirated.

Question, is there enough meat on the old style heads to be ported out to match the flow of the eagle heads? and would it be cheaper to buy a eagle engine out of the junk yard as buying every thing to make the eagle head work? By the way keep up the good work in showing the potential of the 3 gen hemi

On adding ring gap. Curious, what would be an adequate on 6.1 hemi?

Finally! I need you to come help me finish my 2006 TT stroker 392 charger

Just released in Dec 2021 Melling High Volume oil pump for hemi engine PN# 10342HV

I have a 6.1 block and heads I want to build something with ! Also have an 05 5.7 complete engine . Still trying to decide if I wanna go nitrous or turbo 😈

Would the valves be longer because the contact point in the combustion chamber has changed? Since they technically sit lower, because of the smaller combustion chamber?

Are the rod bolts one time use? Do the rod bolts need replacement after taking the rods off the crankshaft? Does replacing the rod bolts require resizing the rod ends?

I got that shit on the first time I’m hella proud of myself rn 😂

Hey man, I got a 05 block with 392 stroker kit from Manley, I’m gonna run the eagle heads, just want your input on what coil packs to use, will the 05 truck coil packs work correctly?

I wish u were here in texas… i gotta 2014 5.7, just trying to get a 392 cam put it in, u could even make content out of it lol

I have a ported 6.1 intake for my 5.7 will that fit on the eagle heads

I would also like to understand what tuner to buy?

Please show how to rewire the 3 wire sensor

I've got a couple of questions but first some background. I was a Chrysler advisor for approx 10 years and finally escaped from industry about 18 months ago. Also, I'm not a typical advisor who knows nothing about cars. I've done all the work on this and many other cars I've owned. I have an 06 300 CSRT which is on it 4th set of lifters. However, last year when the 3rd set failed (always #5 intake lifter) it took out the cam and also spun a cam bearing. So, I pulled the the engine and used it as an excuse to do a 426. Sent the bottom end to our machine shop and had them perform all the machining and assem the bottom end. Put it all together and it ran like a top. Then around 3k miles on it I started noticing what sounded like a slight rod knock. UNBELIEVABE!!!! So I parked it considered committing hara-kiri seppuku! Anyway, now that its "cooling off" here (houston) I'm finally mentally ready to pull it and see WTF is going on. So my questions are 1) do you know if the Eagle cyl heads flow better over the stock casting SRT heads? 2) do you know of a way to safely pull & reinstall the crank (assuming I just have a bad bearing and no other damage) without pulling the heads? 3) can you give me the torque specs on assembling the bottom end as I've never done this and no longer have access to dealerconnect.com Thanks for any info!!!

i need some information just bought a 2009 ram 2500 hemi 4wd it has the 235 mm front axle which i think is a 9 1/4" any way it has a raised pinion kinda looks like the diff was turned over but its factory never seen on a dodge seen them on fords am i correct

One more thing that i think may be handy. I thought the earlier like 03 to 08 model heads had a chance (likely when overheated a crap ton) of dropping the seats. Havn't heard anything about that and the new eagle heads. So more flow intake and exhaust, better compression ratio and a more stout head. Got me thinking about my poor old 06 Daytona Charger. Its not bad, but its no power monster.

Do you recommend a tuner for a 2006 ram 5.7?

I don’t know about reusing head bolts usually tty but I have heard lots of people do that

The EGR setup would be nice to delete Skye, but how will it effect my PCM on my 06 Datona R/T?? Will it just set an engine light only or will it run like crap not seeing the signal from the EGR?? I would love to make this swap along with a 392 intake!! OOPS my bad, I missed your answer on the tuner, I have a basic Diablo tuner for the MDS delete but I don't think it will delete the EGR!!

What’s the engine stand you using

Do you have any insight on this engine swap: 2019 ram 5.7 etorque into a 2012 ram 5.7? Of course the etorque will be removed. I believe the crank sensor, knock sensor, flex plate, timing cover and oil cooler are some of the differences. I just completed a full rebuild of my original motor thanks to your videos. But unfortunately I still have a small oil leak into my coolant. Heads went to shop and came back good. Trucks runs great no overheating after 300 miles and ltft are all in spec. No coolant in oil. I suspect a small leak in the block.

When i did the egale head swap on my 06 charger i decided to swap the pistons out to the egale ones as well. Also the pre 2008 fuel rail dose bolt right up to the 2009 up intake so you dont have to mess with the fuel line. also the stock 2009 up exhaust manifolds bolted right up to the cats.

So, HP Tuners? Joker Cam?

Great video. I did this swap a few months back. And basically had to do and swap everything you had mentioned. The one thing i had to change other than that is the springs as i put a comp cam and is needed the higher pressure springs to hold up. All and all, car didnt need a tune to drive but i did get one to have it run better. And with the egr gone and turned off, the car does waste a lot more gas.

Couldn't help but notice you're wearing a hoodie during this whole video. And I just wanted to say I live in Kerrville Texas not far from where you were it's 108 today just a reminder

I have a 2006 dodge charger daytona with a recently built engine. I want to swap the heads to a 2009 so i wont drop a valve seat. Is it necessary with a rebuilt engine

Do you know where I can buy a 5.7L hemi engine for a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Question, I have my 08 5.7 already set up with a 6.1 intake manifold and the mmx intake manifold gasket to get the proper flow out of the intake, will this intake fit with the eagle heads? Just put a camshaft in as well, this sounds like I could be getting some more power let me know what you think please

Great video and I think this eagle swap is going to get you a lot of visitors. (I'd put eagle head swap or something into the title). I do think the 09+ pistons are different though. Not sure if the compression height or even dome volume is different, but the tops look different, and I believe the pre-09 use a 1.5mm top ring, but I think the 09+ runs a 1.2mm top ring. If I was throwing the eagle heads on and not doing an entire refresh, then I would just run the stock pistons though, no matter what kind you got. I filed my first set of rings for my LS build (I'm using 0.030" because it's going to see a lot of boost). One tip I recommend is to file the set and then leave them in the cylinder you filed them for. Because each cylinder is going to be slightly different. Also, go slow when filing, and only file one side of the ring as the factory end will always be more square than the edge you do. For my LS set of rings, the top moly ring was very hard metal, so it took a lot of grinding to size it. But the second iron ring was much softer, so be prepared to take off gap much faster with a softer second ring. You should also rotate the ring filer in such a way that the grinding wheel pushes "down" when you file, so it doesn't try to lift the ring as you go. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

As far as the cylinder heads all you have to do is get them ported instead of getting 09 and newer heads

I want to see that w a 6.4 cam; make a whole stock parts build w some forced induction

Question. I know we talked before about my 06 charger rt with 2013 heads setup. I went with a .070 thick head gasket because of compression ratio being high but would a stock head gasket be fine if i run premium gas. I run premium anyways

ok very good video like the step by step ? i want to ask u say to delete the EGR? but will doing so still pass emissions? pcm has to go through its cycle to do its test ? and sense u have the eagle heads by looking at them can u drill out the hole for the EGR ? sense the bolt holes are there ?

Non mds lifters have no specific allocation right? No rear/front

❤

so when I wanna cam my 08 charger Rt.. after I change the heads to eagle head .....do I get a CAM FROM A 2008 AND EARLIER OR 2009 AND NEWER .. ?? plz lmk

Would a set of exhaust headers from the old heade work with the difference of the exhaust ports on the new heads.

Can I use a 2012 5.7 crank in a 2004 5.7 hemi if so what else would I have to do to make it work.

So if the int/exh ports are larger on the eagle heads and give better air flow but you can use the stock manifolds or aftermarket headers from the earlier 03-08s, shouldn't there be some port matching or else restriction can occur? Also, are head bolts TTY bolts? Why reuse them if they are previous bolts and stretched?

I have an unrelated question I have a 2003 5.7 hemi and I bought a harmonic balancer for it but it looks like the 2009 and up and it’s the only one I can find new for a 2003 would I be able to use it

So I just rebuilt my engine and everything is new.but I can't seem to figure out why my pushrods are loose.tightend to spec but no cigar.got any tips

🔥👍🏽

I wouldn’t reuse the headbolts. The headbolts are torque to yield. And the 6.1 heads flow more than the Eagle heads but not by much.

what parts are you using for the twin turbo setup?

Hey, check the CCs of the heads relative to the pistons on the 2 different engine designs. The eagle ENGINE is 10.5:1, but the engines use different pistons. If you take the eagle heads and swap them to a pre-eagle engine, the compression ratio is 11:1 or higher, which could really be a problem if you're going to boost your engine. I can't find reliable data for piston dish/deck clearance volume for both engines to calculate comp ratio.

Love your info but you did miss a little info. Eagle and 6.1 not quite the same head. Basically they are similar but not identical Also: Have you double checked the math on the compression ratio? Popular theory is, without a thick head gasket you’ll be up around 12:1. I’ve not done one myself but a lot of info out there about this. Just curious….

If egr is really drilled and not cast, is it 90° bend drilled? I need the egr. But I think that some ram trucks had eagle heads with egr too.

So you don’t need to use double head gaskets? From compression being raised? That’s what I’ve seen on forums 🤔🤔🤔

Wow i allways thought the eagle head swap was a direct bolt on

Nice video great info especially being I have an 06 I thought was ready to go. I’ve converted to carb with mds electronics but looks like now I need to swap heads. Thank. It’s headed into my 71 Demon. MOPAR2YA

Never reused the old cylinder head bolts.

Are the lifters for A 03-08 hemi The same as the lifters in the 09 and newer? Aka are there any differents in The pre eagle lifters versus the eagle lifters. Especially in regards to the MDS lifters.

The egr myth us not true. My friend just bought an 09 eagle hemi and it DOES have egr

the eagle heads are 20cc less than the pre eagles.. the eagle heads are oval shaped and not a true hemispherical head design.. according to chrysler, the intake runners were improved on the eagle engines. the eagle heads are said to flow 14 percent better than the pre eagles, BUT, as I said, the eagle heads have 20 cc less volume.. so can u explain how the eagle heads are better than the pre eagle heads? in my mind, they about equal out, due to the chamber volume vs the flow?

Sky, I love your videos. I’m located in Oregon as well, and I’m curious about those intake plates to mount your supercharger. I’m excited to watch your videos roll out and see the end result
