..mopars have lots of torque.  :2thumbs:


Really.  Do you have any data or reason as to why?

The 383 and 400 are probably the worst "big block" motors ever made for producing torque.  The RBs are middle of the road.  The only thing that helps them (in stock configuration) to maybe look like they make decent torque is the small cam, and restrictive heads.
