Default Which Engine

Should I build up the 360 (have done them in the past) or swap a V-10. I am working on finding a 545RE for the hemi swap. I am getting tired of the truck being slow. Now I do know pushing 35s with 3.55s are bad but now I'm pushing Jeep liberty tires (235 75 R16 very small for a truck) and I'm still slow although the Speedo is 5mph quicker then what the truck is actually doing lol. Now this is going to sema next year so my sponsors gave me a warn winch 16,500lbs, ARB lockers, and 4.56 gears. I am mostly making forums because I have time sitting here waiting for answers in a hospital halfway across the country. Also HeyYou I'm going to get them axles just a major family emergency.

Not much aftermarket support for the V-10, and installing the hemi will immediately give you almost 100 more horsepower than the 360...... Could get weird and build a 408...... But, of the options, I think the hemi swap would be the best bang for the buck.

Truck is still here. Take care of your family first.
