Dodge Engine Built From LEGO Bricks

LEGO bricks can create almost anything these days. We were excited to see this ‘working’ V8 engine built from LEGO bricks and parts. Following the build, it’s easy to see how many transformations that this engine has gone through before the current pushrod version, which operates pretty well at an indicated 1,780 revolutions per minute. This is a fitting engine design, considering that it’s slated to get dropped into a Dodge Challenger replica.

Dodge Challenger To Receive Drag Pack

Chrysler will be offering a drag pack for the new Dodge Challenger. It will be equipped with a hi-po version (which is also on the Hemi V8 and the 5.9 liter Magnum). Before it can be sold it first has to pass inspection by the National Hot Rod Association.

If approved they will certify it for racing and will be entered into the Stock Eliminator class. Patricia Georgevich a spokeswoman from Chrysler stated that Chrysler is plannind on introducing the new car in July.
