I just saw a small paragraph in Offroad Mag. They verrifiyed that there will be a 6.5 hemi for the 3/4 1 tons in 2012. Anybody else hear such a thing?

 

no but that sounds amazing. any estimate on hp numbers?

 

do you have a link to this off road mag article?

 

There is a small paragraph in the Mar 2010 FourWheeler Magazine as well. It reads:

"6.4 Hemi Confirmed

A 6.4L version of Chrysler's popular Hemi V-8 has been confirmed. Although we haven't been able to confirm which model year (our guess is 2012), the more powerful 6.4L Hemi is slated for the Ram Heavy Duty pickups. Buyers can expect approximately 450 horsepower from the new engine."

 

yea there will be a 6.4l hemi

 

seems kinda goofy, they need to offer that bad boy for the 1/2 tons, keep the diesels in the diesel vehicles.

 

This is the mag. and article my bad.

 

I dont know, I think a 3/4 ton with a 6.4 would be pretty gnarly, especially as an off-road vehicle, much lighter than a diesel with a lot of fricken power! And it would be quite the workhorse as well! I like my gassers so having that option would be nice!

 

If they put a better tranny behind it I am in.... Otherwise they can stuff it.

 

Probably just a stroked out 6.1, which is what the current 500+ hp 6.4 (392) crate hemi is.
