Which Mopar engines breathe well enough to make use of 7000+ RPM?
I think it goes without saying that Chrysler has provided many of the absolute best engines ever made, especially when talking about performance engines.
That said it seems like they're often designed to make their power down low in the RPM range...which is almost always more useful for street engines, can be put to excellent use on the drag strip too...but it is still a different experience than what you might get in something like a Boss 302 or a '69 Z/28 where you can zing the engine well past 6,000 RPM, keep making power and not punch a connecting rod through the side of the block.
Sure, having to wring an engine's neck to go fast is not always the fastest way to make power but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.
Which Mopar engines do the best job of this kind of performance? The 340 4bbl and 340 Six Pack seem to be the best candidates but in stock form, both of these motors make their peak power in the mid 5000 RPM range. Still pretty damn good but it's a long way from being useful at 7k.
Has anyone build a Mopar engine to rev like this? Can it be done?
Are the Gen 3 Hemi engines candidates for high RPM build?
