Well drop a Hemi and a Dana 44 up front and you'll be good to go

 

Wait, Ford doesn't own Cummins. Where did you hear that? They used to own some shares but sold them off. Dodge and Cummins will never kill the golden goose and if they ever get the emissions crap figured out they'd sell a lot more.

 

I didn't say that did I? If I did I meant to say rumour has it that Ford will buy Cummins or has... I didn't state it as fact. Ford doesn't own Cummins right now unless it is a messy deal like the Sears-KMart episode...

 

Sorry about that, misinterpreted what was said. That rumor has been floating around for years and I don't think it will ever happen. Ford bought up dozens of brands over the late 90's and 2000's and is still trying to recover from it. I think they learned their lesson.

 

the hemi is considered a magnum engine

 

and after owning a 2nd gen 360, V10 and a 3rd gen hemi the hemi is by far better than the 360

 

Interesting. do they make any Hemis other than the 5.7? I'd consider buying one if it was larger than 5.2L but wasn't a 6.0L!

I bet this is just the same thing people were talking about when they had the LAs and Dodge introduced the Magnum. Very similar to the LA, but updated. Probably the same thing with the Hemi?

 

Just curious, how does it compare to the v10?

 

They make a 6.1L hemi that I believe will be in the 2014 rams
