dodge engine??

[camaromaniac]

this guy i know is getting a new engine for his 70s challenger. he said i could have his old one. he just rebuilt it. could i somehow get it under the hood?

[89IROC&RS]

is it a hemi, or a 440 or what?

[Chevyracincamaro]

that might be more trouble than it is worth, so it sounds to me...

dodge engines are nice, but we all know there trannys go out at about 70k

You can put mopar in a chevy. It just is against some unwritten rule or something.

Well I like that idea about as good as putting a chevy engine in a ford or ford in a chevy. I think if you drive a chevy put a chevy engine in it same goes with a ford and so on. I hate it when you see a really nice 32 ford coupe and it has a chevy engine in it. In my opinoin if you wanted a mixture of all car companys then get an AMC then.

its not a hemi. hes getting some kind of deal on a brand new engine for like $1000.he'll have about 370 hp. and i dont like putting dodge engine in a chev but im 16 and im not rich so ill take anything i can get

It would definately take some work to get it to mount in there but im sure its doable.

If you do it, NEVER open the hood in public. Unless of course you want to be hanged

[Dober89]

Why not open your hood in public?? People dont hang chevy guys for running a ford 9" rearend in the back.

Well, have mounts fabricated and there are adapters so that you can put a chevy trans in there.. The main problem will probably be exhaust, good luck there.

a rear-end is one thing, cause the ford 9" is just manly, but a dodge engine?? hell no, i wouldnt do it. not cause they are dodges and im a chevy guy, but because dodge motors suck. they just dont hold up under the gun...

[chevynutss]

LOL....a dodge engine in a chevy, what is the world coming to. I can see people putting 350's in wrangler and what not, but a mopar engine in chevy is a discrace to the bowtie. And what body style is it?? Because chevy had enought trouble the fitting in the LT-1 into the Z28 through 1993-1997

BS i had a slant 6 that went over 250,000 miles. didn't have any power but it ran forever. the 318, 426, and 440 were good engines. the 360 is junk, and the new hemi is a joke, but dodge had some engines that were just as good as chevy.

although i dont think it would be cost effective to try a dodge swap in a chevy.

well olden engines were descent but i thought we were talking about a newer engine. anything after the sixties is junk. sorry bout the miss-cue
