Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

In my opinion, if you plan on driving it, a Gen III is the only way to go. I purchased my "New" 2005 5.7 LX (car motor) for 3K in the crate. Of course there are a few additional items you need like alternator, different oil pan, exhaust, but you will need that no matter what you build. The motor will still utilize the MDS along with an overdrive automatic, this car will have 350hp and should get 25mpg on the highway all day long, Let's see you do that with a 440.

I cant see me doing that cause I can't see my speedometer and fuel gauge to tell what kind of mpg I get from my stroked 440 BB...........I'm always blinded by white, thick, foul smelling smoke that seems to be coming from the rear of my car near the point where the tires used to be making contact with the road......It won't stop even when I shift up into 3rd......These #$*$&@!* big blocks are nothing but trouble I tell ya.

If I went 3G I wouldn't have to deal with 700HP and almost = torque. It's NOT WORTH IT.....I only get 12 MPG on top of that. I feel this way every time I get in and it fires it up on the first try. It's a crappy feeling no doubt.

Your right to stick with new technology and sacrifice brute HP and torque for economy and better traction.:snakeman:

It's the green thing to do.:toothy10:
