    Murilee, my sexy vixen-- did you ever manage to pull off that remote-turbocharger setup?


    By the tone you use now to describe remote turbocharging (namely GODAWFUL) I'll take it you've since given up?

    Yet another kick-ass powerplant from Chrysler. And the government doesn't want to bail them out. Such a waste.

    @DrElectro: Problem is, the last kick-ass powerplant they ever developed was the wedge engine, back in the '60s. I love Mopars, I really do, but the staggering zombie that is the current Chrysler Corporation deserves a shotgun blast to the cranium.

    @D-fktv: snarky comments for almost everything.: I've always wondered about oil leaking past the rings into the combustion chambers while the engine isn't running. Probably couldn't get enough to have hydrolock, but I betcha huge clouds of smoke were pretty common on startup.

    I think I've got to find a chassis to bolt that into.


    Good news, I can probably skip a tranny. I reckon it's got enough torque to yank just about anything I might find off the line and keep on tugging right up to cruisin velocity.

    @Rust-MyEnemy Smells Of Mobil 1: I'm not positive about terminology, but I think an engine with multiple banks of cylinders, each complete with their own crankshaft, and connected by another gear driven common output shaft is called a "U" configuration. The baddest radial multi-cylinder engine is the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major used in big Boeing bombers before jet engines took over. It displaced 71.5 L and put out 3000 - 4300 HP.
