What is the best non-diesel engine compatible with a 98 Dodge Ram?
V8!As factory options, both the 360 (5.9L) and the 318 (5.2L) V8’s are great non-diesel engines compatible with a 98 Ram. They were both available in 1998 in 1500, the 318 (5.2L) V8 wasn’t an option for the 2500 & 3500 Trucks as they do not make enough power t. The 2500’s and 3500’s were available with the 360 (5.9L) V8 and the 488 (8.0L) V10. (As well as the best Diesel Engine available for a pick up truck, and in 1998 it was still an all mechanical 12 Valve with the updated interior for 1998, by 1998.5 the Cummins 24 Valve Turbo Diesel replaced the amazingly simple 12 Valve and offered more power) The V10 is great and very powerful, but they can have more expensive parts and maintenance. I would avoid the 3.9L V6 in the 1500, in my opinion, it doesn’t make enough power. But I still see plenty of the V6 trucks on the road everyday, so they can’t be that bad, I’ve never driven one.Here is a list of the factory option gas engines for Dodge Ram in 1998, 1500, 2500 & 3500.3.9L (238) V6175 HP @ 4,800 RPM230 lb-ft @ 3,200 RPM5.2L (318) V8230 HP @ 4400 RPM300 lb-ft @ 3200 RPM5.9L (360) V8250 HP @ 4400 RPM335 lb-ft @ 3200 RPM8.0L (488) V10300 HP @ 4400 RPM450 lb-ft @ 2800 RPM
Friends, can someone explain me the difference between 6.2L V8 engine vs 5.2L V8?
5.2 and 6.2 are measurments of displacement. This is the amount of fluid that is displaced from the piston moving up the cylinder. Generally, more displacement = more power POTENTIAL, not necessarily more power. There are any number of variables to consider in regards to making power. More displacement also typically means poorer fuel efficiency. The 5.8L is a more advanced engine design and utilizes dual overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder. It's a far more efficient design than the conventional pushrod design of the camaro's 6.2.
What do you think is the best V8 mid engine Ferrari ever sold?
In my opinion the last of the 308’s, the Quatrovalvoli was the best V8 production car.Classically pretty, with its mechanical fuel injection utterly reliable, and as powerful as the early carburettor cars because of its four valve heads.My mate had one. Bought with 11,000 miles on it, he did 100,000 miles before retiring it as his ‘second’’ car and it still went through emissions as clean as when new.he would warm it until the gearbox shifted sweetly, then quite happily red line it through the gears.It ran on Mobil 1 0w-40He kept a complete spare set of Koni shocks and every 20,000 miles would swap out one set while the new re-built second set went onto the carSet up by Nicki Laufer (I think) when you bought the car new it was either shod with pirelli or Michelin tyres and you had to replace like with like or the handling went off.No ABS or any of that stuff, the brakes were so sensitive you could feel imminent lock-up on any wheel through the car and pedal. A true driver’s car with daily driver reliability, and superstar looks … great headlights too, it had Cibie lamps from the factory…The only real flaw was the rust prone metal work requiring very careful attention to cleaning.
Is a Dodge 318 engine a v8? How many liters is it?
I was planning on buying a 5.9l V8 for my 98 Dodge Dakota, but I found on a site that there is a Dodge 318 Engine that is already out of the truck and will fit in my Dakota. I have a v6 mag in my truck right now and I'm looking to beef it up with a v8 so that my truck can get much better sound, power and speed. He is asking $550 for the engine OBO, or I could just get the 5.9 liter for $850. What is better for me to get? Im looking for 1) awsome exhaust sound with a cherry bomb and dual exhaust. 2) Better speed 3) more power. Thanks
Is the Maserati Gran Turismo the best sounding v8 engine yet?
Nah.This question is a matter of opinion anyway; but personally, for every cylinder this Maserati has, I can think of at least one V8-powered car that I think sounds better.For reference, here’s a video of the GranTurismo (Ferrari/Maserati F136Y 4.7L).…Here’s my list:8. BMW M3 E92 (BMW S65B40 4.0L)7. Koenigsegg Agera R (Koenigsegg V8 5.0L twin turbo)6. Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 (GM LS7 7.0L)5. Cadillac XLR-V (GM “Northstar” LC3 4.4L SC)4. McLaren 12C (McLaren/Ricardo M838T 3.8L twin turbo)3. JUN Auto Subaru BRZ (Synergy 2.4L V8 based on two Kawasaki four-cyls)2. Shelby GT350R (Ford Voodoo 5.2L)1. Ferrari F40 (Ferrari F120A 2.8L twin turbo)…Granted, there are some caveats.If we’re only counting traditional cross-plane V8s, only the first four count - the Koenigsegg, the BMW, the ‘Vette, and the XLR. The other four - the Synergy BRZ, the McLaren, the Shelby, and the Ferrari - are flat-plane V8s, which is a different configuration typical of Ferrari and other sports cars.Four of the engines (the F40, the McLaren, the XLR, and the Koenigsegg) use forced induction; the Maserati doesn’t. That said, it’s actually frequently a challenge to make an engine sound good with turbochargers, as turbos get in the way of the exhaust air flow leaving the engine.But there you have it.After some thought, I personally think the Maserati GranTurismo is, at best, the ninth best sounding V8. That’s not too bad, in any case. It’s a great sounding motor.The BMW’s merits over the Maserati are debatable, and mostly only lean on the fact that it revs higher (and that it’s a more affordable car); and the Maserati, BMW, and ‘Vette are all close contenders against the Koenigsegg.The list also omits several things I couldn’t think of off the top of my head.So, in conclusion: a matter of personal taste, but (sufficiently rich) car enthusiasts really are spoiled for choice these days.To round this out to 10 videos, here’s another one of the Shelby - except this time with an aftermarket system that really lets it loose:Everything you could want out of an engine sound, for under 100 grand. Well, except maybe turbo noises, but that’d ruin the rest. This is my personal pick, by miles.
How do I tell whether my Dodge Magnum V8 engine is a 5.2l or a 5.9l?
Identification is not a rushed priority for the repair. The 5.2 and 5.9 use the same TPS. To identify your engine, check the 8th digit of the truck's serial number off the dash or door sticker. If the 8th digit is a "Y" , it's the 5.2. If it's a "Z", a 5.9. If it's a "5" it's the 5.9 heavy duty.
My vehicle has a 5.2 L V8 engine, what does that mean?
I'm specifically wanting to know what the 5.2 liters means. I sort of have a handle on what a V8 means, but what would a 5.2 L do over a smaller L engine? What does the "L" measure exactly, the size of the cylinders?
5.2 Magnum V8 engine opinions ( calling all Dodge guys )?
the 5.2 is a 318 ,and those are good engines they are limited on power though due to their small cubic inch size in bore,and they can be bored a small amount ,their good engines but the best of all small blocks is the 360 or the 5.9.its as reliable and much more powerful than the 5.2 is and easier to build to get horse power from,good luck.
Is Lamborghini really using Audi's engine? Doesn’t Lamborghini make their own engines?
Allow me to take you through a bit of history..Remember this ?This, is the 2003 Lamborghini Gallardo. It came with a 5.0 Lt v10 that made close to 520bhp. Looks quaint, doesn't it ?The Lamborghini built 5.0Lt V10.Now, with Lamborghini being owned by Audi A.G, this engine was also used in the Audi RS6 and the S8, the performance editions of their family sedans (and an estate)The 5.0Lt V10 in the Audi RS6Now, fast forward to late 2006, IAA Frankfurt.That, is the 2006 Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI.This came with a 5.2Lt V10, That was (as disclosed much later) derived by extending the bore of each cylinder in the Lamborghini’s V10 by 200cc.From the above, we can deduce that it was in fact Audi, who stared using Lamborghini Automobili’s engines, but that’s not how that worked out.Audi and Lamborghini worked in collaboration to build that high performance engine so that with minor tweaks, it can be used across their sportscar platforms.Lamborghini may have started it, but it was Audi who have played a key role in its evolution. In fact, the engine was so good that to this date, Both the Lamborghini Huracan and the Audi R8 V10 plus use the same 5.2Lt v10 from 2006, heavily reworked of course.The 5.2Lt v10 from Audi. The original. This went on to be used in Lamborghini Gallardo and then the Huracan along with the Audi's R8 V10.
