Favorite Mopar Engine
« on: February 25, 2006 - 10:52:37 PM »
I haven't seen this topic, so here it goes:
What is your favorite Mopar engine? If you can't narrow it down to one, it's okay to list a few.

Mine is...

The 440-4 bbl Magnum (that is, the high-compression HP '67-'71 440).
Plenty of horsepower and torque, well-built and reliable.

The experimental DOHC 426 Hemi. Unfortunately, it never made it to production.

I like 383s myself. They're still a big block so that means decent low end grunt and they have a decent top end.

I love the 440 4bbl magnum engine but have strayed over to the 340 small blocks for there high winding power and a little more gas mileage as I love to drive my Challenger RT.

 :dupe:

Tsk, tsk, tsk.....come on lads, if you start interesting threads like this, create a poll to see who actually is the boards favorite...it will usually go on for about 4-7 pages and in the end no one really knows which is the favorite.....


I'll start one in your favor Fleet.......... :cheers:

Toss up.  Either the 340, or the 360.
