In Reply to: 400-500 hp in 735i--possible? posted by art p on July 13, 2001 at 04:02:14:


Just curious with their motors carnking out
that HP; Do they they they get that from
their older chrysler 198 or 225 slant sixes
(love them they take all the abuse and heep going)
or the GM straight sixes the infamous big bad
250 or ford's 200 stright six that was popular
with the "3 in the tree" . Am I showing my age or just being an pain in the butt? Just think alittle of what you really want and what you want for reliability and/or driveability do you want a 4 cyl screaming at 10,000 RPM and making 300 horses or a six pushing at 6-8000 rpm or a big
bad big block thumping at 4000 RPM making the same
or having it scream at 7000 and go throw a rod through side of block etc anything is poosible if you want to spend monet time etc. go for a v10 viper or something. SORRY IF I WENT IN A CIRCLE
