So I'm looking to make some power with boost and was going to go with a Hellcat short motor.
After looking around I can get a complete 6.4 truck big gas engine with low miles for a similar price.
The BGE will give me a Hellcat block and hellcat spec 356-T6 heads which is great for big power.
After reading Rams press releases it seems the BGE had comp dropped to 10:1 for low octane, a special forged 6.4 crank to handle big towing loads, forged pistons and uprated conrods.
Im wondering if the rods are uprated to the point they are reliable @1000hp like the hellcat stuff and the same with the pistons.
If so i can just open up the ring gaps and maybe fit some good bearings and be done with it.
Has anyone had BGE rods and pistons in their hands and eyed them for their durabilty?
The Hellcat oil pump seems to be a upgrade however the HC crank timing gear is a different part to a normal 6.4, is it required to run a HC oil pump given that it drives it or upgraded for other reasons?
