5.7 HEMI

Post by landon1 » Tue May 30, 2006 5:56 pm

A while ago they had a 70 Challenger in Mopar Muscle that they put a 5.7 MPI Hemi and a Keisler 5 speed conversion kit, but it didn't give any numbers. I'm sure it would get better mileage, since it shuts down those 4 cylinders at a cruise, but I was wondering about speed. Supposedly, the newer motors are better and actually make more power at the wheels than the older engines, which I guess is pretty believable. Anybody know, performance-wise, how a 71 Satellite would do with a combo like that? Just wondering...
