Applications and Fitment Potential
The Mopar 345 Crate HEMI V8 Engine 5.7L Eagle Gen III is incredibly versatile, making it a popular choice for a wide range of project vehicles. While it’s a crate engine designed for custom installations, its core design makes it suitable for:

Compatibility with an automatic or manual transmission will depend on the final bellhousing and flywheel selection.
