Just did a little search to see if anyone has ever given consideration to
installing AMG's 5.5 liter SC engine as a replacement in the SRT-6? I plan
to keep mine, and eventually replace the motor when it wears out. The
obvious choice for replacement would be the AMG 3.2 liter SC engine,
but I'm dreaming about a V8 (476 or 500+ hp). I know this would require
some modification, upgrade to the ECU and intercooler, etc... But I'm
wondering if the 5.5 liter engine would mount up? I understand that it
would be a little longer in the block, and that mount points may have to
be modified. But I think the transmission is the same, so connecting to
that should not be too difficult (bell housing change?)
At the moment, this is more of a "what if" thread, but I'd love to be
educated on this just a bit. I think I'm in the right place for that.
