Which engine is Cooler?

[Tincup]

I'm starting a new project, I just picked up a 67 Dodge D100 shortbed. It's going to be slammed on bags, with 20" wheels, and a rusty body. What engine would you put in it?

1.) New 6.4 HEMI
2.) Viper 8.2L V10
3.) I'm old school, give me a 440

I want the new HellCat Supercharged engine in my duster SO MUCH!

For me def 440...whats ur choice?

 

[LocuMob]

Haven't seen a V-10 in an old school truck yet, that would be pretty sick if done right.

 

[buckshotbishop]

all ready to many new hemi swaps give us a V10

Viper V10 has been done, New Hemi has been done.

Although the other two would be sweet, the v10 would just be downright awesome!!! Viper gets my vote!

Rusty v10

RB long ram...

 

[PocketAces]

Cummins 6BT

Wow, straight axle, manual steer and the weight of a cummins. Now that would be a hand full to drive!

 

[EL5DEMON340]

440 with a blower or tunnel ram would look cool, and be the cheapest.

440,to go....

I always thought the Viper V10 should have been a Hemi!
They could have developed it for the V10 Viper then spun off v8 & v6 versions for the truck and car engines. Still don't understand why it isn't a Hemi or have much of anything else in common with the other Mopar engines.

Now a mid engine Hemi would be cool in your truck.

The funny thing is that the Viper engines are actually cheaper than the 6.4's...

I'm thinking something like this ( I know it's a chebby, couldn't find any Dodges)

If you have a wallet fat enough that you don't care about the price tag of the build, go with the V10 and throw a ham pater wheel on it to boot! Who's not going to look under the hood and say WOW! That's a lot of work! Lol

Cummins 6BT

Definately cool, but too heavy and toooooo expensive...

no more expensive than a v10 or a 392 swap. Probably less expensive even. I can do a cummins swap on my suburban for about $3500

The late model Hemi looks pretty good in these old trucks. The Viper motor seems like it would be a really expensive conversion in addition to acquiring the engine and trans

Great truck

id have to swap out the truck intake plenum with the SRT intake. I just can't stand the looks of that resonator. This is a photo of a 6.1 intake.

I voted 440 but I don't get the whole rusty piece of **** look.

 

[SpareParts]

I voted for the 6.4 thinking, a 440 was offered in them so that's no fun and predictable. The V10 seems like head aches and a lack of after market or even OEM parts. The hemi however they make every day.

BUT! if it was mine,
used Nascar R5P7 for around $8k and find a circle track stick trans, quick change rear end and now you have a jaw dropper! Just my thoughts
