All this V10 talk made me dig out the Magnum book. The firing order is r-l-r-l-r-l-r-l-r-l which would require a flat plane crank for a V-8. Sure would suck to replace the oil pump though.
Wonder how hard a PCM would be to find, and there were headers and catback exhaust packages.
Anyone willing to make a cam? Maybe start with a Viper blank for a custom grind?
Pretty cool torque motors, no wonder the farmer was puzzled by the 3.55 choice. My Dad figured 4.10s in a work truck was for city slickers and dude ranchers, lol.
YUP your Dad and ole Dell would really snicker at the effective gear with 33s on her now.
figures out to 3.23.
Gotta admit you can feel her labor a little stop and go with the new meats, but she sings right along on the interstates.
Running 75 (by the speedo a bit over 2000) she doesn't get passed often?
If you ever drove through NE Indiana NW Ohio you would know there is not even a 100 foot elevation change in 100 miles!
If hills are encountered the old torque is a plenty in 4th gear. (even with an effective 3.23:1)
