BGE Big Gas Engine. That’s funny.

If I read that correctly, the 6.4 Block and heads are quite similar to those of a hellcat. It also has a forged steel crank. They swapped out the Pistons, rods, and a few other things. And didn’t have a whole lot of money stuck in it. Yet

The article stopped. But they posted horsepower numbers, which was kind of confusing. But that thing is 1000 hp monster and should be quite reliable.

I actually read that article this am. Happy to be moving ahead with my 6.4 swap, should be started next week. We'll see what the future holds for mods, but it definitely looks like its the base for some reliable numbers from a daily driver.
