Re: Width of new Challenger Engine Bay ?
The Challenger is nearly identical to the Charger.

Although I love the look of the old' HEMI, the New' HEMI actually is a better design. Our 426s make approx. 500whp and there is about a 20% drivetrain loss. So 600 BHP on pump gas, daily driver, doesnt overheat & idles like "nearly stock". Did I mention that they get 21+ mpg on the highway? It would hard to get the original 426's to come anywhere close.

Dont get me wrong, I love the old HEMI. I just wouldnt swap it in a New Challenger body.
