You might be surprised - the HEMI shares quite a few components
with the other engines; water pump housing, water pump, I think
timing chain, harmonic balancer, and a few other items on the front
end I believe. Seems like I have heard some of the internals are
interchangeable as well. I was looking at a 528 crate motor at the
Nats this morning, and it had the exact same water pump housing I
had just R&R'd on my 440.
