Quote: The 5.7 is significantly lighter than a small block not to mention a big block. Secondly you can easily run a 904 instead of the 727 and lose even more weight and put more of your HP to the wheels. Probably be about as fast as a mild big block and handle WAAAAAAAAY better and get better MPG(don't know how much you drive I am just mentioning it).
Your car will be close to 1000 lbs lighter than a challenger witch by the way can run very low 13s bone stock, you would be makeing more HP to boot.
BS 1000lbs? Last I checked he'll be running aluminum heads, intake and probably H2O pump. Facts is facts the stock 5.7 makes about 340 hp and 375 lb·ft give or take. "And the power plant is 56 pounds lighter than its predecessor."...the 360 magunum. Were's that 1000 lbs at? It still has a cast iron block. Plus they make power higher in the rpms so he will need a expensive stall. The good stall for the newer Hemis start at $800!
