V6 and V8 Dodge Engine Choices

Understand the difference between two primary engine families before you order:

Pentastar 3.6L V6 - Used in the Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, and Ram 1500. It's a naturally aspirated six-cylinder known for a solid balance of power and fuel economy.

HEMI V8 (5.7L) - Found in the Charger R/T, Challenger R/T, Durango R/T, and Ram 1500 trucks. The 5.7L HEMI is a performance-oriented engine.

Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, and Ram Engine Fitment

Not every Pentastar V6 is a direct swap for each other. Calibration differences, accessory setups, mounting points, and emission configurations can vary between the Charger, Durango, and Ram even when they share the same 3.6L block.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Vehicle year and model
• Engine size (2.4L, 3.6L, 5.7L, etc.)
• Trim level (base V6 and R/T V8 applications differ significantly
• 8th digit of VIN

If you're replacing a 5.7L HEMI, also confirm whether your vehicle has the MDS oil lifter system. This affects parts compatibility in some replacement scenarios.

Used vs Remanufactured Dodge Engines

• Used Engines are pulled from lower-mileage vehicles and are inspected thoroughly for internal conditions. They are a budget-friendly option.
• Remanufactured engines are rebuilt to factory tolerances with new internal components. They are a stronger choice for high-value vehicles.

Both categories come with warranty coverage. The better choice depends on your vehicle's value, your expected ownership period, and your budget.

Why Choose DMV JDM Depot for Dodge Engines

DMV JDM Depot is not a single-source supplier. We pull from both inventory and international sourcing channels to maintain availability. Our team provides fitment support before purchase, not just after a problem arises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Dodge engines available for Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, and Ram models?

Yes. DMV JDM Depot carries replacement engines for all of these models. Contact us to check current stock for your exact application. 

How do I confirm Dodge engine fitment?

Provide your vehicle's year, model, engine size, trim level, and the 8th digit of your VIN. The VIN digit confirms your factory engine code and prevents fitment errors.

What is the difference between a Dodge V6 and HEMI replacement engine?

The Pentastar 3.6L V6 is a naturally aspirated six-cylinder used across most of the Dodge lineup for everyday driving. The 5.7L HEMI is a larger, higher-output V8 used in performance trims like the Charger R/T and Challenger R/T. The two are not interchangeable. 

Are Dodge engines sold, tested or remanufactured?

We carry both used OEM engines and remanufactured engines for select applications. 

Can I buy a Dodge engine online and have it shipped?

Yes. DMV JDM Depot ships Dodge engines via freight carrier to all U.S. states. Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days and arrive within 3–7 business days after dispatch. Tracking is provided at time of shipment. 

Do Dodge engines come with warranty coverage?

Every engine ships with a 90-day warranty covering internal mechanical failure under normal use. Full terms are at dmvjdmdepot.com/pages/warranty-policy.  

What information should I provide before ordering?

Provide us your vehicle year, model, engine size, trim level, and VIN. For HEMI applications, also note whether your vehicle has the MDS system. This can affect internal parts compatibility on some replacement engines. 

Can DMV JDM Depot help locate a Dodge engine if inventory is limited?

Yes. If your specific engine isn't currently listed, contact us directly. We source engines on an ongoing basis and can often locate your application through our sourcing network.
