And there's a guy on FTE, quicksnake I think is his username, in NC who has single and twin turbo setups for the 6.8. Has a twin in his F250 making stupid power.

8.1 big block

Instant torque. I've owned a truck before with one, best big block ever.

The dodge v10 is surprisingly compact for what it is. Fairly available with low miles because gas hog and in dodges. Same bellhousing as cummins, same tranny actually, so tranny upgrades are available.

Not huge power houses stock, but could probably handle modest boost

 

[Projectjunkie]

That's not how it works anymore old man. A runner is $1500+ these days thanks in no small part to people like you who spent years swindling people out of running vehicles and then selling one door card before scrapping the rest for a cool $100 profit.

You wore pull-ups to 6th grade sleepovers, we get it

I love those big inline 6 engines. Hall Scott made some BIG gas engines too.

327 chevy, 383 stroker or a 8.1 chevy. Pick the trans of your choice.

According to my neighbor that has one swapped into a half ton ram, they have almost nothing on common nor swappable with a viper v10.

I'm not really sure why but he said he hates it and is building a traditional v8 for it instead 🤷‍♂️

I imagine it's because it was always a truck engine with little aftermarket support, it'd need tuning and machining to make it something, or tuning and booooooossst

The viper motor had to be de-tuned pre-production because it was around 800hp. They reworked the cam profile then it all went to torque and was breaking transmissions. They reworked the heads from there to get it something they could sell. I may still have those old mopar magazines with the updates as this was happening.

Ok, now Im intrigued.

 

[mjlogan88]

what about the honda v6’s everyone throws in sandrails and the aussies boost to the moon to get around displacement rules?

Junkyard rwd trans that bolts up? If it has merits over the ford version I’m considering then I’m interested

 

[mjlogan88]

Barra if you can get one.

This thing has the 3.7 V6.

Yea that sounds terrible my only hope would be killing sound with a turbo and a large muffler

Excursion - King of SUVs - 6.8 V10 Twin turbo build begins - Got started on mock up of turbo kit. Managed to get pretty lucky and the stock manifolds will flip fairly easy, i had to massage the ac lines on pass side a bit (down) and on driver side the power steering reservoir hose needs to be...

How are they getting around the weakness of the split pin crank? I hear after 600 hp they don't stay in one piece.

Don’t some Hondas spin ccw?

Some of the four cylinders did

 

[95stepside]

H B and D series all spin the wrong way. K F and J (6cylinder) spin normal

I don't know, I wish they'd address this concern. I haven't heard anything from them about it. I guess we'll see.

The viper engine apparently has almost nothing to do with the truck engine though

I like how they used one dodge neon coil pack, and one minivan coil pack instead of making a 10 plug coil pack.

Supposedly both based off the la platform... where's our dragon slaying mopar guru?

Dodge added counterweight and used 90* & 54* odd fire

Ford went split pin crank with 72* even fire.

Instant torque. I've owned a truck before with one, best big block ever.

400ftlbs at 1100rpm stock.

That sucks.

On the flipside, reading through that thread on FTE, that V10 was putting down 550hp/800ftlbs on 6psi . Granted he built the engine in preparation for 14+psi, I still think a stock engine on 6lbs would survive for a long time.

800ft lbs in that car would be awesome.

 

[arse_sidewards]

huh no shit? bonus for availability

Yup. The only downside is that the more closed "heart shaped" chamber (same as every other 80s Ford) makes it harder to run big valves or open it up because you gotta remove more material which is why the old school hot rodders don't like them.

Ah, yes, the old "I got fucking nothing so I'll just try and say something insulting" tactic.

if the motor is on the driver's side of the engine bay, it spins backwards

 

[shortbus4x4]

What about if it's in the Southern Hemisphere, like Australia?

 

[Leadfoot21]

Coyote is best option for resale value if that’s important . Second option is a 351w based stroker such as a 408w.

that's actually why they did all that, they drive on the wrong side of the car in japan and all
keeps the weight more balanced side to side if the motor's on the other side of the car from the driver
