I estimated the specific density to be pretty close to stabilized hydrocarbon condensate at 700 kg/cubic meter or 1000 liters, or .7kg(700g) per liter. 2.2 lbs. per kg.
My tank is probably close to 100 U.S. gallons or 378 liters. Probably the most I usually get in there is about 350. One liter by my estimate weighs 1.54 lbs., so US gal=5.8212.
According to a quick search, I found the actual weight to be somewhere from 710-770 g/l.

I work in logistics. I checked one of my cheat sheets. One U.S. gallon of gasoline weighs 6.3 pounds, not counting the container. If you go with Imperial gallons, it weighs 7.25 pounds per gallon.

I know that this is an old thread, if it was me I would swap an used newer LS truck engine (5.3/6.0/6.2) with a 6L90 transmission/tcase (get a manual tcase), depending on your wallet. I think your in the Edmonton area, last year I found a 2012 LS 6.0/6L90 4x4 low mile 3/4 ton engine (less than 100000 km's) for $2600, complete with ecm/harness/accessory. Pretty easy swap, just need to get driveshafts built. The 6L90 has a lower first gear (4.0 first gear/0.66 final drive vs. 46 re 2.45 first gear/0.69 final drive)
That 408 engine that lever picked out has a fairly big camshaft that will need a stall converter and some gears. 46re transmissions were never a good choice to add power to. Going the dodge build route is more traditional but pricey/more tricky to get to work in the end.
just my two cents

Not totally opposed to bastardizing, but I don't want to overcomplicate things, and I'd like more than a stock 6.0 puts out, unless maybe it's one of the new ones.
Already have a manual transfer case, and talked to my transmission builders, and I should be good for 450 ft/lbs to 500 ft/lbs torque. Of course if I'm using all 500, all the time, my transmission isn't going to last super long before I'll need a rebuild.

a Chevy in a mopar????!! That’s just not right!! Lol. Like putting a Chevy motor in a ford, in some parts of the country, your personal safety would be questioned!! But hey, I’m always interested in motor swaps, my first was a Chevy 350 into a Mazda rx4!
a hellcat into a second gen truck?? OOOh! Gives me goose bumps!! Lol
