The trend these days in the crate motor world is to punch famed big-block displacement numbers out of small block designs. Chrysler’s the latest on board with their new 440 Super Commando and 392 Hemi crates. The 440 is based on the LA-series 340 Resto Block, but designed to work with later-style Magnum parts for EFI or carbureted applications. It’s bored and stroked to make the magic 440 number, which is pretty impressive, considering Chevy only got 427 inches out of the Z06’s LS7.



The 392 Hemi starts with the 6.1L Hemi block from the SRT-8 editions of the Magnum, Charger and 300C and goes from there. Frankly, we’re just stoked that they brought back the Super Commando name, which simply reeks of badassness. Now all we need is a Six-Pack version. Somebody get Barry Grant on the phone.

 

Are they planning on using the 440 in anything?

 

Beautiful! Just beautiful!!!!

 

maybe the next Viper

 

i heard that there is some new V10 planned for the new viper, and while things can change alot, i couldnt see them going away from the V10...that 392 crate motor is already available as a long block from DCX, and there was a 1970 challenger at the autoshow in the mopar performance display ...here are some pictures...
