Q: Does this crate engine come with everything needed to run?
A: The Mopar 345 Crate HEMI V8 Engine 5.7L Eagle Gen III includes the complete engine assembly, water pump, and either a flexplate or flywheel/clutch assembly. However, it does not include accessories like the alternator, power steering pump, intake manifold usually (unless specified by Mopar), or the engine management system (ECU/PCM) required for operation. These components must be sourced separately to complete your build.
Q: Is this engine suitable for daily driving or just performance applications?
A: This brand-new 5.7L HEMI is designed for both!

Q: What kind of fuel does the 5.7L HEMI require?
A: The 5.7L Eagle Gen III HEMI typically operates efficiently on 89 octane (mid-grade) gasoline, and can use 87 octane (regular) with slight performance differences. For optimal performance and to utilize its full potential, many enthusiasts choose 91 or 93 octane premium fuel, especially if custom tuning is applied. Always refer to Mopar’s specifications and your ECU’s requirements.
Q: What is the warranty on this Mopar crate engine?
A: As a new Mopar part, the Mopar 345 Crate HEMI V8 Engine 5.7L Eagle Gen III is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty.
