C18 Or C27 In A 379

"You're going to need a bigger truck."

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

Awesome movie reference lol. Victor, the 18 and 27 are big industrial motors mainly used in equipment, oilfield work and power generation. I'm not sure of the power rating on the 18 but the 27 can push up to 800hp at factory settings. It can easily crank out well over 1000 with an insane amount of torque. They're also pigs in regard to weight and while good for show, you would only really use them in a show truck because they're really impractical otherwise. That was the other reason I would lean towards the 16 and maybe the 18 but the 16 is actually designed for high hp, at 600hp factory setting it'll kick out up to 2700 ft lb of torque.

Yeah I was thinking about the c16 but wanted more torque so was leaning more toward the c18. I know there's gonna be some fabricating that will have to be done but I figure why not.

Why not, indeed. Many years ago a pipeline company I did some work for was putting 12V92s in their highway tractors.
