New Gas Engine for HD Rams...

Been doin' a lot of research, and here's what I've found...<br><br>Looks like the current 8.0L V-10 is discontinued.<br><br>Many of us had figured on a &quot;truck&quot; version of the current Viper/SRT-10 8.3L V-10...but I've been told that same technique of conversion won't apply to this new one.<br><br>Talked to a couple of guys in the &quot;know&quot;, and they all agreed on a stroked version of the current 5.7L (350ci) Hemi V-8. Wanna take a guess on the (rumors) cubic inch size of the new engine? <br><br>...I'll give you a hint...when you take a 350 Chevy and stroke it out, what do you get?<br><br>To me though, this still seems too small to compare to the 8.1L (496 Big Block) Chevy that is pushing out 450lb-ft, and who knows what the next generation of Ford's big gasser (Either new V-10 or big V-8) will put out torque wise.<br><br>Any thoughts? Comments?<br><br>Justin.

Re:New Gas Engine for HD Rams...

I think they should outlaw gas motors in heavy duty trucks. :P
I could never understand why anyone would even think of
running a gas motor in a truck like this. ???
MPg is less empty :'( Now put a load on and watch it :'(
Cost of operation and maint. of gas 'V' diesel should turn the thought lamp on ??? ???
IMHO ;D
