maybe a 6.1L with some torque.. they just don't have enough low end torque....the 6.1 isn't even being used in trucks.. the 6.7 cummins diesel is the only current dodge engine that could move that thing without overworking itself.. i bet the v10 in that thing has been modded a lot too for more HP. 488cu in vs 350cu in.... V10 wins...
The no replacement for displacement crap only works for Chevies. The Hemi is a lot more efficient engine than your V10. If it can make the same, or close to the V10's Hp and Torque, in 345ci, the Hemi wins. I dont know that much about either engines, but I have read some reviews on the new Hemi, where it has much more low end torque than the the previous Hemi.

The V10 in the T-Rex has only been mdified by intake and exhaust. It puts out 500 ftlbs of torque. I can spin all four tires in the back on the pavment, and I can burn rubber with all six in the rocks and slickrock. I love the V10, not so good on mpg, but you can't beat its reliability and power. I have a friend who beefed up his V10 to 900ftlbs of torque...
That is cool. I have left mine mostly stock so that it is reliable and easy to fix IF something goes wrong. As you have seen we have torture tested ours.
It has never had any trouble.
