You mean besides the 5-figure price tag?
There are early and late Hemi engines. The early range in size from 241(?) to 392. The later 426 would have been the engine that could have come in a Challenger. But there's no way someone would sell just the engine (if an original) from an E-body, IMHO.
392 HEMI
The later 426 Hemi had distributor in front, among other things, but they ALL have the iconic valve covers w/spark plug holes through them.
