Its really too bad that more wasn't done with this engine. No real aftermarket, never put in cars, etc. In my quest for a quick, cool-sounding and extremely efficient V8 for my 70 Challenger i want to daily drive i kept coming back to this one. Its small, its light and being a DOHC it will sound wicked with some dedicated pipes, make very good power and kill anything else in efficiency.
because the 5.7 is lighter, physically smaller, more efficient (with MDS), more powerful AND cheaper to manufacture....
sounds like you need a 5.7 in your chally. my '11 charger is a beast power wise (published times are ~13.7 in the quarter, ~5.2 0-60, in a 4250lb car) while getting 22-23mpg in mixed driving over the 8k miles I've had the car...
