Small Block, 426 Hemi, or 5.7 Hemi

[racerdude5]

Which is best? Concerning economy, power, weight, and ease of installation in a Duster.

Small Block for ease of install and $$ to get it done.

5.7 hemi would take 3 out 4, I'd think. I have no clue how hard they are to install/get mobile.

 

[swinger340]

I vote small block..

small block. you dont need no ridiculous elephant motor.

Small block stroker. Easiest to install, least money and makes great power. It's a no brainer.

(where's the duck and cover smiley??)


All kidding aside, what about a turbo small block? Couldn't be an easier install since it's all bolt-in, a turbo could turn a very basic 318 into a monster, and if you use aftermarket efi you could easily tune it for both power and economy.


Btw this is the 3rd thread you've started asking this same vague question.

A Hemi is the worst bang for your buck imaginable. Sink a third of the cost into a small block and run circles around those other two choices.

Actually 4 ... but who's counting. Whoops ... I guess I am.

Doesn't the 5.7 basically bolt in where a small block would?
