    5.7 hemi eagle/vvt into 2006 300c (new guy, yes I searched a lot)

    Good evening, hemi fans
    I'm installing an 'eagle' hemi into a 2006 300c
    6.0 liter, 5.7 block and pistons, 6.4 crank, rods, and mds cam, 6.1 heads drilled for egr, 10:1

    I could use some advice from people with more experience than me here

    Ideally this swap will have functional vvt when complete
    Is the best plan:
    A- 2009 pcm, 60-2 crank trigger wheel, eagle engine wiring harness and alternator
    (this exists in various forums but it appears that cruise control may not function, which is a big deal to me)

    B- 2006 pcm and crank trigger wheel, rpm switch to control on/off vvt solenoid (advanced position until 4800 rpm, retarded position from there to redline, not much phasing, simply binary state - the question being how much cam/crank sync error can be tolerated by the 2006 pcm, and can that tolerance be adjusted)

    C- 2006 pcm, lock the cam phaser, degree the cam like an old school hotrod, and call it good

    Thanks in advance for your insights

    which ever ends up costing the least

    you obviously are not wanting to spend any money on the assembly

    mds cam

    and you already have the motor outta the car and all apart...

    wow

    maybe re think that part?

    what year are the lifters???

    Well, I have several engines out and apart, and the car is still a driver, but it's definitely due for a rebuild
    I like mds, I'm probably the only guy in the world that does and I'm OK with that
    New 6.4 cams are not expensive, you are correct there. Same with new lifters, but you have every right to assume whatever you wish. it's a free country after all.

    for the record, you vote 'C' on the basis of cost. OK, thanks for the input

    I'm sure you had a good reason for it, its just totally irrelevant to determining a solution to incorporating vvt into a chrysler product that didn't originally have it.
