Subject: 528 Hemi
IP: Logged

Message:
I was looking at Mopar's site and found a 528 Hemi that puts out 610 horses and 650 lbs-ft torque. Would this be too much for a Dakota? or would it be one hell of a fun time?

Yes it would fit. Sport Truck had an article in July of 2000. Hot Rod Magazine was the company that put the 528 hemi into a 2000 Quad Cab. They put a 727 Torqueflite manual trans to back this up. The headers and exhaust had to be handmade. They claimed it made 640 hp. Also a custom crossmember, and oil pan had to be made to fit. Obviously, this was a lot of work and skill but it looks and sounds great. Hope this helps.

I hope they back halved it while they were at it, otherwise there is no way that it would hook up and use most of that power.

If your looking to put 1100 hp in a dakota I would suggest a tube chassis with a cage, a strut or mustang II front suspension and a 4-link with coil-overs and a fab9 rear. Probably should look into a Lenco if you like shifting or a JW powerglide if your looking to run brackets.Sounds like a killer project.

powerglide?!? what about a 727 torqueflight?

remember "the chain is only as strong as its weakest link", and any GM part would be the weakest link.

Actually I was looking to use the Lenco transmission, possibly a underdrive adapter for racing,and use the Hemi with a Blower. I expect to start work in spring. Also thinking of puting a hemi in the wifes Durango. I will of course have to use a automatic transmission.

Student loan collections? What do you do? Do you call the students who havent paid thier bill, get them to pay directly into your bank account?

If something is too good to be true, it probably is. You must be the .00000001 % that actually got lucky

Yeah I would suggest a JW 'glide it has no GM parts in it.Seen a few 727's suffer from sprag explosions in apps. with over 800 hp and the damage is not pretty, Last car had a hole about 3 ft. in dia. in the floor, most of the dash and windshield were gone and the roof was severely dented with a few silver-dollar sized holes.One of the local racers runs a 1,800hp pro-5.0 'stang with the 'glide and has very few problems with it.Also seen a few behind very stout 440's and Hemi's. A 727 would be fine behind one the crate Hemi's , but if your going to double the hp I would seriously think about using an aftermarket billet-cased 'glide.

It's no 528 but my dad has a 90 dakota convert and found a 426 hemi kit for 13 g's. I'd like to get it for my 96 dak but it has a new 318 crate engine in it... have to wait for that to go... don't think it will anytime soon, it's too good of an engine if that's possible...

528 is too much. Anyone know if the new 354 Hemi will ever be able to retrofit in a '99 Dakota R/T? I've added a ramair hood, computer, headers, dual exhausts, but my 360 R/T just doesn't seem quick enough. (Or will Dodge put the new Hemi in a future Dakota?) Then, I'd have to buy another truck. It'd be nice to just buy a motor, though, instead of another vehicle.
