Man….some of you guys just can’t let this one go….
LMAO at calling a 510 CI twin turbo all aluminum 900 HP V10 an "overrated MOPAR boat anchor."
900hp with both turbo's cramming air down its gullet perhaps, but that masive 510ci, 8.4L V10 is only rated at 450hp/490lbs ft at the flywheel. A figure that is easily repeatable with a stroked 351W and easily increasable with a similar twin turbo swap.
...so yes, considering its added displacement and 2 extra cylinders and its actual rated N/A power output, than engine is waaaaay overrated!
...especially when you consider a big block 460 will easily eclipse 600hp with very little work and two less cylinders.
Nobody has yet to post up how much this engine weighs compared to an all aluminum 351 SBF stroker. I would be interested to see that. Anybody? Beuller?
Approx 650lbs according to internet sources. That's approx 125lbs heavier than an iron block/iron headed 351W. Remove another 100lbs from that figure for an Aluminum block/heads 351W. Are we going to pretend that that's not a significant difference?
Hell, the previously aforementioned 460 big block with a set of aluminum heads is still approx 40lbs lighter than that.
so...a total of approx 175-150lbs weight savings with an iron block/aluminum headed 351W and a whopping 200-225lb weight savings with an aluminum block/aluminum head 351W!
.....all the horsepower potential, a ton of weight savings and none of the fitment issues.
How's that....Beuller!?!
Or people thinking that a DART 351 stroker twin turbo would "drop right in." Clearly only a few of you have even seen, never mind been involved in, a 351 stroker swap.
Oil pan, mounts, exhaust...done! There are the basics. Not so tough, is it?
As for the turbo....well, that's going to be a plumbing nightmare no matter which engine configuration you go with, but is there any question you'll end up with a lot more open real estate to work with under the hood with the 351W in there, than the Viper mill!
