2020 Model Year. 426/7.0L HO.

And what makes you think that exactly? When was the last time a drag pack factory special engine made it into either of the Big 3 cars?

Let's not forget there's a direct relationship between displacement and emissions. There has been no lowering of emissions standards for US cars. So for them to get a 7.0L without DI to pass will be a feat. The only buzz I have heard regarding new Dodge power plants have been smaller and likely turbocharged engines.

Not saying it's impossible, hell I thought the Demon was going to be impossible to be sold emissions legal. But it is very unlikely that Dodge would spend it's already non-existent R&D funds on a 426 engine that wouldn't be able to be used in the next gen Challenger/Charger which is a much smaller platform.

Also the 426 has been in the Challenger Drag Pak cars for some years now, but never it made it to the street yet. Same with the Viper V-10, and another engine, the blown 5.7L.
