Let's not turn this into a debate about prop sizes. All I meant was "big enough" in terms of getting planed off fast, AND getting the top speed you want.

That is all

they should have a site like that but it should sell ford v-10 marine motors. Does the dodge v-10 have cams or is it a pushrod motor?

I believe that the Dodge V10 is a OHV or pushrod motor.

Seems like Chevy and Dodge aren't willing to jump into SOHC and DOHC enignes.

I agree, OHC engines are much more technologically advanced and can have variable valve timing applied much more easily. They also have a tendency to have better emissions and probably make more horsepower for the same displacement as a OHV. That being said, I'm pretty sure GM likes the smallblock OHV because of its size, the actual physical dimensions is much smaller than an OHC thanks to there not being any camshafts on the engine. I assume that they also are cheaper and easier for GM to make.
