Will the 5.7 HEMI be available in 2024?

February 10, 2023. The General Motors Holden brand may have been killed off back in 2023 but the HEMI name lives on. In fact, the GM Holden division was renamed to the GMC brand and a new lineup of trucks is now available. The next generation trucks, the Terrain and Canyon, are powered by a new 7.0-liter V8 engine that has a distinctively different design and output than the V8 HEMI engines that were used in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models.

For a few years now, there has been speculation about whether or not we will see the new 7.0-liter HEMI engine in the 2023 model year. That speculation may be confirmed as the GMC Canyon is set to get a refresh soon.

As for the next generation Canyon and Terrain models, it's highly likely that they will get a new HEMI-powered engine. There are even rumors that the next generation Canyon will get an entirely new body which would explain why a new engine is needed.

That all said, there are a few reasons to think that the new HEMI could be delayed and the 2023 model year could come with a different engine. The current truck lineup. The current trucks are some of the best-selling vehicles on the market today and the 2023 Canyon and 2023 Terrain are no exception. The trucks have a distinctive look that appeals to the truck buyers, there are four trim levels (including the base model) and the powertrains are all good performers.

However, the current HEMI-powered trucks only come in two cab styles, the short-wheelbase versions and long-wheelbase versions. It appears that the new HEMI will only be available in the long-wheelbase versions. That doesn't mean the short-wheelbase versions will not get a new HEMI engine. Instead, the short-wheelbase versions may get the updated version of the 6.6-liter V8 engine that's currently powering the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon.

In addition, the long-wheelbase version of the truck will likely get the new 7. That makes sense as the current HEMI-powered trucks are pretty heavy.

Does Ram make a 6.4 HEMI?

I've seen some forums talking about how the Ram makes a 6.4 HEMI but I'm not so sure I believe it. There are so many other differences between them and the difference between a 6.4 and a 6.2 is huge. The difference between a 6.2 and 6.4 is huge too but not that huge.

So I guess my question is: Does the Ram make a 6. I'll say it, and I know that this is wrong, but I have to say it anyways. The 6.2's are made for racing, and they were built for that purpose alone. Racing uses a certain type of piston heads that the 6.4's are not compatible with. If you want to build a 6.2 motor for racing, then by all means do so. It will perform great for what it was designed for.

On the other hand, if you want to build a street/strip type of motor, then I'd suggest using a 6.4 with a standard piston head. I don't think that the compression ratio of the stock 6.4's are good enough for a street motor, and I think that they'd be bad for racing too. I'm sure that you could get some 6.4's with an even higher compression ratio but that is at the expense of horsepower.

I'd also suggest doing a bit of research on the different types of piston heads and find out which one fits your application. Thanks for the reply. I agree with what you said about racing and street, but I just want to see if it makes sense. I've been wanting to build a 6.4 HEMI for a while now and was just wondering if it makes sense to build a 6.4 for fun. I mean obviously it would be much faster than the 5.7HEMI I currently have and that's what I want. I'm not asking for it to be faster than any other motor though. Just wanted to know if it makes sense to build a 6.

is ram getting rid of the 6.4 hemi

Fully loaded Ram 1500 with Cummins diesel is outselling Dodge 3500 v8 in some markets, with v6 outselling v8. Now, this might not be the case for the US market or for the Canadian market where diesel is cheaper than gasoline, but I was just wondering if the 3500's v8 will be phased out, because I have seen so many posts of people talking about how good it is and how much more power it has compared to the diesel in 3500s. Somebody said they saw a ram 1500 that had a v8 that was stock but had the option for a v6 engine. What's the story on that? Does Dodge make a full size truck that does not have a v8 engine? Also, are there any other trucks in production besides 3500 and ram 1500 that don't have v8s? I can't imagine them doing this, since a diesel is significantly cheaper than gas. If they were going to ditch the V-8s, they would have done it a while ago. Dodge took a while to phase out their EJ models and their last Dodge truck was a 6.1 V10. They had to wait until the last generation to go to diesel. They are finally phasing that out with the new Ram 1500, but they do have some great diesel engines and it looks like a much bigger engine is coming in the Ram 2500.

I don't think they are going to change their product lines that dramatically, but even if they do there will be a few truck models that retain a V-8. They could do it in one of two ways: They put in a V8 that runs on diesel. This would be pretty easy, as there aren't many diesels out there that have a V8. Some current and past MOPAR vehicles have had this (notably the Ram SRT-10). A V8 that runs on diesel would be extremely expensive and require extensive and expensive R&D to put it in. So it wouldn't make sense to do it.

They put in a V6 that runs on diesel. This is actually possible, as there are some diesels that have a high enough compression ratio to run on diesel.

Is Dodge killing the HEMI?

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye will soon be officially unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It will be the most powerful Dodge to date and, if the previous model's sales figures are any indication, should prove a huge success. That's not the only reason this new Hellcat is interesting, though. While it will be a powerhouse for certain people, its performance has actually been pretty much the same over the past few years. In fact, since it came on the market last year, the 2023 Challenger R/T Scat Pack has actually been slightly faster around a race track than the Redeye, despite having a much smaller 3.6L V-6 under the hood. So what gives?

We know that when Dodge originally designed the Hellcat and ordered it for production, they wanted the V-8 to be "the strongest engine of the century" -- hence the name. With the 2023 redesign, they've decided to drop that title, which I assume they will take back in 2023 or 2023. They've also decided to call the V-8 in the Scat Pack "The Challenger HEMI." As a "hemi," it's part of the legendary Hemi family that has been around since the 1950s. So, will the Hellcat be the last big-block muscle car?

In its day, the Hellcat became legendary. After all, there is only so much you can do with a naturally aspirated V-8 and it can become quite expensive after a while. With an engine this large, it becomes difficult to find additional power, especially if you are looking for one that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. However, we know for a fact that there's a way to make more power while maintaining the simplicity of the V-8. It's called forced induction, and while it may be more complicated to work with than superchargers or turbochargers, it can create amazing amounts of power and torque for a very economical price.

So is Dodge killing the Hellcat? At least temporarily? This isn't necessarily the end for the Hemi V-8, but it's beginning to lose its luster. As I have said before, the first Hellcat was the fastest naturally aspirated muscle car ever made, but as the years went on and other supercars came out, the Challenger just wasn't quite keeping up.
