Safe And Easy Storage or Transport of Your Gen III Hemi V8 Engine

Debuting in 2003 in the Dodge Ram pickup truck, the third generation Dodge Hemi engine, known to many enthusiasts simply as the Gen III Hemi, has grown in popularity as a viable V8 engine swap candidate. It has shown up in everything from hot rods and classic Mopar muscle cars to the extremely popular early Dodge trucks, and everything in between. It is right at home cruising the boulevard in your muscle car or making 9-second passes at the drag strip. It is a very versatile power plant. Just look at what the factory has done with the Hellcat and Demon versions making insane amounts of supercharged horsepower with a full vehicle warranty! Available in many Stellantis vehicles including Ram pickup, Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger and Challenger, and several Jeep models, as well as a brand new crate engine or custom built engine from multiple sources, there is a Gen III Hemi engine out there for any budget or project need.

Like most enthusiasts, we like to buy the big decision items like engine, transmission, wheels, brakes, and more way before we need them. This means we need to store these items until our project is ready for them. While brakes, and even wheels, will fit on a shelf, it’s hard to get a used engine or a crate engine to fit on a typical shelf in your shop or garage. Having a proper way to store your Gen III Hemi V8 until you’re ready for it, or a way to transport it if you’re taking it for a rebuild or perhaps dropping it off at your chassis shop so that they can mock up engine mounts for it. Whatever the need, a stout BlockDock™ Gen III Hemi engine cradle for storage/transport is an important thing to have.

Designed With Strength in Mind and Built to Last

The Gen III Hemi engine uses an iron block (from the factory) with aluminum heads. A fully dressed engine is nearly 500 pounds. That’s a lot of weight to trust to cheaply made offshore Mopar engine stands made from paper thin metal. Our BlockDock™ Mopar engine stands for the 5.7L Hemi are made right here in Lincoln, Nebraska from quality 10-gauge 2” tubing and steel plate with 1/4-inch steel engine mount pads that are laser cut and hand welded in precise welding jigs for repeatable quality control. Our stands are not universal in design, requiring adjustment of legs or mounting points. The compact design tucks the stand in for a small overall footprint while maintaining stability. The Gen III Hemi engine cradle has 1/4-inch thick mount pads that bolt directly to the block for rigidity and we even include the correct 10mm mounting bolts (that store directly on the stand’s base in threaded storage holes) to mount the stand to your Gen III Hemi engine block, saving you the hassle of bolt bin digging for eight of the same metric bolts!

While we’ve been touting this BlockDock™ Hemi engine cradle dolly as fitting the 2003 to current 5.7L Hemi V8, this engine cradle will also fit 6.1L, 6.2L, and 6.4L Gen III Hemi-based engines, including Hellcat, Demon, Redeye, and SRT version our Mopar engine stands cradle your Gen III Hemi for the perfect solution for storage/transport needs and can bolt up to all of them. If you do not have a way to easily move your Gen III Hemi engine you can always add our engine stand caster wheel kit for increased ease in maneuverability. We have also created a money saving kit with our BlockDock™ Gen III Hemi engine stand with caster wheels included if you know you’ll be needing caster wheels from the get-go for easier movement around the shop.
