You could pull a lot but it wouldn't be fun to drive cuz of low rpm torque very low red line and crap gear ratios. The only thing this motor has is torque every thing else is old technology, it would be a BIG step back.

haha, yah, anybody else seen the new dodge ram truck commercial. if not, its laughs! its got these "JOE DIRT" type guys in this old Charger or somethin, who pull up next to the new Ram at a light. they ask if hes got a Hemi in the car? he replies somewhat confused..."yah..." so the guys rev the car and both the truck w/ trailer, and the charger, take off at the light. the ram quickly pulls away from the old charger. the ram is stopped at the light and the charger finally catches up... the guy in the Ram turns to the boys in the charger and asks...."were u talkin about the hemi in the car, or the truck?"
hahaha, it is very funny..... but i guess you gotta see it to understand what im talkin about....so keep an eye open if you happen to be watchin tv!
