Building a Boosted Hemi: The Journey Begins

:hammer_and_wrench:We acquired a 6.4 BGE block and a 2020 truck engine, laying the foundation for the boosted Hemi project.

:package:All the components necessary for the build were included, such as rods, pistons, gaskets, intake, and more.

:moneybag:We saved up and sold various items to afford the engine and components, making it a significant milestone for us.

:house_with_garden:The plan is to start with the 6.4 block and gradually upgrade the car's chassis and other elements to handle the increased power.

:heart_eyes:We're excited to learn and work with the Gen 3 Hemi engine, as it's a new challenge for us.

What made you choose the 6.4 BGE block?
