      Amazing! I thought Chevrolet was stepping it up with the LT5 crate engine!!!

      All the electric cars at sema makes me think we are at the last hurrah of engines like that. Could that be the last of a dying breed?

      It wouldn't surprise me if hot rodders of the future were computer nerds...clearly the motor technology is already here. Once the battery technology catches up, the internal combustion engine will be relegated only to very niche applications. Having a 100% electric powertrain is very efficient and more simple in overall design.

      I agree. I think my question is how fast is it coming? I'm starting to think sooner than many people think.

      I'm no Mopar fan. But that is impressive.

      I have no problem going electric on my Daily Driver, so long as I can take my Hot Rod out on the weekends and burn some fossil fuels.....

      Funny enough Im reading this today as I started a new job...I say this because where I started has a sister company that does just that, they buy new Dynacorn Mustangs and build them up with an electric drivetrain...

      4" stroke and 4.125 cylinder bore...sounds like a LS rip-off.

      impressive for a manufacturer crate engine.

      That bore and stroke combination goes back the 427 big block and probably some fords too.

      Thing is the these new engines are SO similar in design, its almost no longer Chevy, Ford, or Mopar...Its just a 427...427...Supercharged etc.

      ...but also very heavy causing handling and responsiveness to suffer.

      The "old" 426 Mopar, wedge and Hemi, was 3.75" stroke, 4.25" bore.
      The 427 Chevy was 3.76"stroke, 4.25" bore.

      I'd love one but my car will likely end up with "just" a whippled 5.7L or a take-out Hellcat engine when I get to Part B of the build.


      As far as aftermarket electric platforms, the battery stability/cooling needs to come a long way before electric drivetrains can really be safely be put into the hands of amateurs. Those batteries get very volatile if charged/discharged too quickly. They're preservation strategy and cooling must be spot-on.
