I was wondering if anyone can help me with the specs on the 5.7 like comp,bore,and stroke? Its actually for a project ive been working on for awhile im taking a 5.7 and putting it into a 99 Dakota but the catch is the it is turbocharged. Iv already built the manifold im just trying to get some specs. NEED THE INFO ASAP if possible!
Thanks Wade

According to the Dodge web site the 5.7 has a bore of 3.92, stroke of 3.58 and a compression ratio of 9.6. You can go to Dodgecom and click on the charger specifications. Hope this helps.

That helps some thanks alot. Now i need some more detailed specs like on the crank? Is it made out of Cast or Nubulur Iron or do you even know?
Thanks Wade

Think its cast, I've heard a lot of stories that above 500HP the cranks tend to take a dump. Might want to try to find a forged

An article I read discussing the differences between the 5.7 Hemi and 6.1 Hemi said the 5.7 used a nodular iron crankshaft.
