How much fun would it be to drop one of those in a stock 6 cyl magnum or something like that!? The ultimate sleeper!

Kinda lame numbers, guessing most of the price is for aluminum not performance numbers.

"The new Mopar 426 Hemi Crate Engine is all-aluminum and carries ratings of 540 horsepower and 530 pound- feet of torque for a $13,675 price tag."

Thats decent for a crate engine from them, the aluminum block is a big step foward for them. Block alone my guess is $3300

think i would rather have the new GM crate engine,the LSX454R,around 740HP +.

Your missing the point I think. I agree GM has some more powerful options for sure but there isn't a Mopar guy on the face of the earth that would do that...LOL This is a good step for Mopar, utilizing the name and the aluminum.

But still and all aluminum big block 426 hemi, with performance numbers of a iron SB V8 on pump gas.

Thing should come with 800-1000HP as a base engine.

CC Performance · 12-14-2010, 01:37 PM

That would be nice!
