Nice and cheap Dakota sport with a Viper engine and 6 speed.

pfft,

a late model Impala V6 puts out similar performance #'s with a few mods.

I was also let down by the numbers. You're telling me with 8 liters to mess around with, 350 hp is all you got out of it!?

Lame.

Would not buy.

Good lord, why put that in a Dakota? Also, "tork."

[Exodus_2pt0]

Pretty cool, though I'd probably opt for a ls2 S10.

with all dat tork the driver must have gotten turnt up before he wrote that ad

Because............................... Idaho....

Seller was all like "boysy, I da ho."

44 HP/liter. I think my Briggs and Stratton lawn mower makes that. (half kidding)

For reference, a m20 makes 168 HP at 2.5L = 67 HP/liter

S14 is 2.3L at 197HP = 86 HP/liter

Guys, that's 350hp at the wheels. And I'll bet a truck has more drivetrain losses than the average car.

[Restoman]

I'm sure the torque curve on that engine is impressive.
Unfortunately I lost hope when he misspelled torque. Just sad.

You can talk shit about that thing making 350whp all you want, as far as I can tell it's faster than the E30s owned by the posters in this thread (up until me that is ;)) and probably a good deal more fun because a light truck with loads of tork is a tail happy machine.

talking about HP/L in reference to a viper

Missing the point.

If you want HP/L you buy a Honda. Nobody who wants a V10 powered pickup or a Viper cares about HP/L.

I can appreciate the specification there.

I gotta say, for a purist this is a good swap. Dodge truck, Dodge engine.

Still though, that engine really is quite unimpressive considering its displacement.

Thread derailment about to commence.

That impeller oil cap is badass.

While my E30 wasn't always supercharged, it was SC'ed (C30 rotrex mated to my S52) for a while.

Definitely faster than this poor truck.

Viper is very cool, but its engine output is just laughable.
