Quote: Just throwing this question out there? Is there a definite advantage of a lets say 500 hp Gen III EFI Hemi vs. an old school 500 hp EFI small block?
Don't get me wrong, I was planning to get the Mopar All Aluminum Gen III crate engine and drop that in my car but when I found out about the Ritter Aluminum small block I figured it would be an easier and less expensive route to go to.
My reasoning is that I already have the Edelbrock heads, headers, transmission placement, blah blah blah, etc.. Besides buying a forged crank, rods and pistons, I basically just have to swap out my current cast iron block with an aluminum one and add a FAST EFI kit that I already have.
Am I missing something here? I know basically nothing about Gen III engines thanks
There is no huge advantage at 500hp other than maybe fuel mileage. I wanted in the 600+ range and I think there on up it starts to shine price wise and still using a hydraulic roller with 0 maintenance.
