Last time I checked, it was either a Mouse (Small Block) or a Rat (Big Block).
Saying "I'll take an '09 Challenger with a 426 Hemi" doesn't make sense. The 426 Hemi hasn't been available in a Challenger (let alone a regular production Mopar) since '71. The largest motor you can order up in an LC '09 is the 6.1...which you know, is the reason I said "6.1L does not equal 426 cubes."
It's like someone saying "I'll take a 2008 Corvette with a 454" or "I'll take a 2008 Mustang with a 428CJ. Both the 454 and the FE 428 haven't been available as factory options for years.
*cough*

TT it and I would have no problem smoking the gtr for about the same price. lmao or just go the easy route and buy the zr1............. whoa getting outta hand... lol 
Mopar does offer a 426 crate motor, but AFAIK that block is an entirely different casting from what I recall. I know they offer it in a 540 cube (and I believe a 472 cube as well) configuration to compete with the BBs on offer from GM and Ford.
Like I said, this is going off of what I know and what I've seen. I could be wrong though.

The largest version of that block I've seen on offer through Mopar is the 392 cube (6.4L) iteration. If there's a 7.0L version of that motor under a hood somewhere I sure as heck haven't seen it. By all means post a link or share some pics because that would be pretty extreme.

not so cheap though. but definitely cheaper than buying a crate 426. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/1...emi/index.html
