No never did. The biggest engine they ever put in them is the 5.9L. A couple of guys have swapped them into their Gen 2 Daks.

FSTJACK said:Have never used it on a street motor just race stuff. Filled a small block 383 1/2 way and the motor made more power and the rings held/lasted longer.
I wish I knew more about how it works on an iron 10 cyl. I will ask around and get back if anyone has experience.
pokeytemplar said:It is not the HP but the TQ I am worried about. The Durango's is rated at 1486ft/lbs in a 5,500lb GVW. The H1 is 2340ft/lbs in a 11,500lb GVW. With the TQ mulitplication of the Converter and Tranny I could easily exceed its rated input capacity with a slightly modified V-10. With the H1's parts other things will break first (hopefully traction):burnout:
Decided to go ahead and upgrade before it left me stranded.
