C18 Or C27 In A 379

Hey Guys and Gals, would like some input. Currently got a 02 379 and contemplating the C15 out of it and throwing in a C18 or C27 mated to an 18. I know its not going to meet emissions, but wondering what yall think about that idea. Open to all comments on it.

Lots of money, lots of time and lots of fabrication. That is just to get it in there. Now you have to make it all work.

Yeah I hear ya, I'm budgeting about 70 to 90 thousand to the motor and fabrication, tuning and such

Not only make it all work but, find a tranny that can take that kind of torque and not brake on you, and then a drive shaft that you won't brake. I say if your going to go big then go BIG.

Yeah I agree, that has been something I was looking into this morning as I'm sitting, possibly a beefed up 18 from eaton, and I have no idea for a compound for the driveshaft. Any ideas?

In my experience drive shafts fail at the slip yoke/splines and u joint so I would start with seeing what you can get that is beefy enough.

The built 18 can handle it, you just have to realize you can't hammer on it until you get it up on the high range. Personally, I'd go with a C16 though, it's much more common, cheaper and will put down 750hp effortlessly.

What are the benefits of the C17 and C27? More horse power? More torque?

Half the folks on here won't get that...too funny.
