How does the V10 block size compare to an old 440. anyone ever bought a V10 crate motor.

Ok I'll give you a little more info. The guys on the old Mopar sites don't know much about the V10, myself included. I have a 65' Plymouth Belvedere i thought it would be sweet to put in a V10. So I'm hunting for some block comparisons

First let me say welcome.

Next is I an sorry to say that I can't answer you question about size between the two.

Enjoy your time here and don't be afraid to speak up. :nod:

I know that to put the V10 in a Charger you have to cut the firewall and trans tunnel. So I would think you would be looking at about the same amount of cutting.

Have you seen this? I'm real interested. and do you think it's worth the trouble? I think the coolness factor is high.
I know a stroked 440 is VERY fast.

Let me dig up the pics of it. Give me a few mins.

Will be a lot of work and $ thats for sure. Cool, yes. Work, lots.

PHR magazine did an article on it a while back. Maybe you can find more info on their site.

Give Marko a shout he is dropping a hemi into his Belvedere. He usually can be found posting tasteless pics in the babe section.

Dodge has developed a manual specifically for the Gen2 Crate Motor. It's full of dimensions and all the things you need to know for engine swapping.

Hi Bert,
The Charger with the V-10 in the picture above was built by Matt Delaney in Shreveport. He's a great guy and knows Mucho about Mopars. He builds several magazine quality cars a year and never strays from chrysler products. The actual motor/tranny install was done at B&M performance in Bossier City,LA.318-742-3042 The owner of B&M is Brad and he would be happy to answer all your question, as he has been there and done that. Tell him Kevin Huston told you to call and he will hook you up.
