Keep pushing the limits man! A lot of people are learning from your process of building & racing.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Oh, you know, no matter what option I go with, we are going to push it to the limits! 💪

[@dankolicious10]

I feel your pain. A stuck injector killed a piston in my built motor 2 months ago. I ended up going back to a stock long block since I wasn't pushing the built one hard enough to justify another one. Best of luck on your rebuild, I want to see SnB rolling out again.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, sucks when something like this or what happened to you happens. Yeah, all options are on the table, just timeline is what I am working with. 😉

[@hu3.789]

Don - The first thing I would suggest is that you determine what your goals are. If your goal is to run a certain number at the dragstrip, you may consider increasing displacement. I tried making power with a small displacement engine and have been really regretting it. I am at the point where I will eventually return the car back to stock and I plan on selling it. You can build an engine that is a little tamer which will help increase durability and reliability. Missing Rocky Mountain Race Week would suck. However, my suggestion would be to do things right rather than fast. You'll benefit in the long run.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Goals, throwing my own advice back at me. 😂 Yeah, been thinking hard on that one. More to follow on what option I choose. 😉

[@widebody_moparmike]

Slaps new oil pump in , couple oil changes and back to normal with a full Sendit 😂

[@ModernRedHemi]

😂😂😂

[@RealDJEVO]

Thanks for the video! These are always the hardest ones to make but they are the most informative and educational! Thanks man! You got this!

[@ModernRedHemi]

You're welcome brother and yeah, these are not the ones anyone wants to make. More education to come. 😉

[@ramonbauza8461]

Stay with the 5.7 I have faith in you brother

[@ModernRedHemi]

That's an option for sure. Just not sure what is the quickest and safest route. More to come for sure! 💪

[@octanejimmy]

Brother, sorry for the issues. You'll get it all fixed up. Breaking is racing. Hope its not to spendy!

[@ModernRedHemi]

Thanks brother! Oh, we are going to get this right and be back bigger and stronger than ever! 💪

[@brandonmcginnis4610]

Going to a 392 would break our hearts Don lol we really enjoy shake N Bake as a 5.7L

[@ModernRedHemi]

I know brother. All options are still on the table but it really boils down to timeline and what gets me up and ready for Rocky Mountain Race Week. 💪

[@brandonmcginnis4610]

@ModernRedHemi I hear you man do what you gotta do. Lol if you leave team 5.7L I'll carry the torch the rest of the way 😂

[@taxinator5858]

All the best on the repairs…go with the size that will meet your end goals.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Thanks brother! Oh, we will... 🤔

[@redmunds5976]

Darn - that sucks Don. Hope you get it sorted out. Hard decision no matter what at this point. Hoping for the best for you and Shake n Bake.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, sure does brother but it happens. We are going to dive into it for sure. Thanks for the kind words because we will be back bigger and stronger than ever. 😉

[@TrackPackRT]

Oh no, that’s brutal Don! 😢 Damn. Sorry to hear it.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, sure is! Thanks brother but we'll be back bigger and stronger than ever... hint hint... 😉

392🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's a 100% possibility! 😂

@@ModernRedHemi awesome! I know Mack is working on a new combo for the hi-ram 392s. Looking forward to seeing it!

[@IncredibleHemi1111]

Sorry to hear buddy 😞

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, all of us had a bad couple weeks. Your accident, me with this engine, and Frostbite Ram blowing up. What is going on around here? 😡

[@ericdavis9992]

Aww man not the video we were all looking for I’m pretty sure 3 pedal Jay may have a 6.4 jkn I’m here for the redo fingers crossed it want be to expensive either way you have a good team behind you

[@apg1383]

Don, what a bummer, This is terrible. I know you will decide what of your options you will go with and make the best of it. I really feel bad for you, but with your attitude and determination I know you will definitely work this problem out and the new Shake"N"Bake will be better then ever.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Big bummer brother. I thank you for the kind words and we will... WE WILL be back and bigger and stronger than ever... 😉

[@CRASHBERN]

Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Waiting to see the teardown video. I’d love to see S&B stay 5.7, but I understand why you’d swap to a 392 or 411

[@ModernRedHemi]

Thanks brother and that video will be coming. All options are still on the table. It all boils down to timeframe at this point. 😉

[@is3180]

Sucks dude , hopefully u get it running soon....🤞✌️

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, this really sucks. Oh, we will be back soon, you can bet on that! 💪

[@bighomie95873]

Damn dude that sucks. I feel your pain though. At this point, I either get a new engine and start over or bore out my block again since cylinder 5 failed due to the fuel injector washing it out and go with .20 overbore forged pistons. None of it is an easy or cheap fix, but we’ll get through it bud!

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yup, sure does suck but 100% part of racing. New engine is at the top of the list but the current block is already .020 over and forged pistons, rods, and crank. None of them are cheap at all that's for sure! 😉

[@H3mif4v5r]

What's the most u can overbore while staying reliable ?

[@ModernRedHemi]

@@H3mif4v5r .030 over IMO.

[@shaunhilliard2418]

Hmmm.... 🤔

Damn man sorry to hear this. I think if et. Is what youre really after id go bigger.

[@thgilne5060]

Oh dude I'm sorry bro 😢. At the moment I feel like I did when I blew up my transmission. I feel for u 😞

[@ModernRedHemi]

Thanks brother! I really appreciate it. 💪

[@ethankaters1969]

my vote is the 411 stroker sorry about your pockets😭i just think that build is a big next step for the channel, the drag content would be nuts since itd make so much power

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, the 411 is a great but expensive option, but is still an option! She would be a MONSTER that's for sure! 💪

[@Fbody_Omar]

Damm man you put too much money into that block for you to go with a HellCat Oil pump , at the end of the day it’s still a OEM Pump should’ve gone with a High Volume Melling Pump ! Hope you get her up and running asap good luck 👍🏻

[@ModernRedHemi]

Actually, the Hellcat pump pushes quite a bit of oil but the Melling is definitely the move for this new engine! We are getting real close! 💪

[@adamg3911]

Get a redeye long block. Don’t do the MMX 411, because they delete the oil squirters.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Interesting option... 😉

[@skybudd]

Oh no 😢

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, not good at all. 😉

[@oliverajiujitsuandfitnessa8663]

Call Ray at MMX they’ll have you running in no time!

Hmmm... I may have already ordered something from them... 🤔

[@stevestauff2220]

411 All day

Definitely an option... 💪

[@adamg3911]

Did you have GPS fixed to the vehicle while it was in the shop?

[@ModernRedHemi]

I do but I trust Mike 100%. I think it was on it's way out just prior to getting it to him. Once we crack it open that will tell the story. 😉

@@ModernRedHemi 10-4. Can’t wait for the videos.

[@SrtHemiPower]

What’s the cause?

[@ModernRedHemi]

We don't know as of yet. We are going to tear down the engine once we get it out and the new set up running. 💪

[@JohnLittlepage]

Oh no Don, that stinks. At least it didn’t blow on a pull or at the track.

[@ModernRedHemi]

Yeah, sure does and yup, at least it was at the shop already! 😂

[@madness_-yg3lw]

Mr.hemi I think its about time for the hhp 426 short block?

[@ModernRedHemi]

If I do go stroker, it'll be the 411 one. The 426 is great for an NA build but for me the rod angle is just a tad to far for boost. 😉

[@madness_-yg3lw]

@ModernRedHemi is it only the gen 3 426 that have that issue or why not start with a iron block 426 to take the added stress

[@patrickciarcia4100]

Sorry…. Pat…😎

[@ModernRedHemi]

Thanks brother! I appreciate it. We will be back though, better than ever. 💪

[@priapicpear4200]

Couldnt you put some drop-ins with the old 5.7?

[@ModernRedHemi]

That is an option for sure and that's kind of what I meant rebuilding the original engine. All options are still on the table. 💪

[@burkegann8572]

Made alot of passes at different tracks probably time for overhaul alot of abuse at the track

Wow! I bet that thing is a monster and a bunch of fun! I think that would be a bit out of my price range as I a couple options are rather cheap, well cheaper than the others. I really do appreciate the offer though! 💪

It's definitely an option, for sure. You know I love being a 5.7 and hurting some feelings! You are 100% correct, it's all part of racing. That's why I put the back of that shirt on the thumbnail; Race, break, fix, and repeat... 💪
