Is it possible to change out the engines in the MM to something better suited to a car of her proportions?
A swap that would just drop in W/O a ton of ghastly mods?
5.0??? anything??

yeah a trilogy kit will drop right in.
also a 4.6 DOHC stroker (5.0) will "drop right in"

Do both, then you'll never not have "enough" power.:burnout:

What type of mods do you consider "ghastly" ?
Lidio (http://www.alternativeauto.com/ ) can set you up with a big bore 5.3, supercharged...... that'll get things rolling!

I had a 5.3 (same setup as Lidio is now selling) awhile back, in N/A form it ran mid-to-high 12's in the 1/4. Plop a small blower on it and you're easily in the 11's.
Put a big blower on it and hood mods are required, but it's easy to make over 650 rwhp.

agreed, I am blowing 9psi through mine and making 520+ at the wheels as far as I can tell from doing some mph math. Only problem I have now is no traction to put it to good use :help:

Ask Tom Doan how easily an '03 Cobra dropped into his MM. He calls his beast "Shamu".

What is the approximate cost of the 5.3 project?
Kinda thinking its time to dump the MM and buy something else.
Costs thousands to get this one up to speed.
Soon as you do something quits. Leaves you wondering.
Whats next? LCM..BCM...MAF...IAT...frustra ting.
New stuff is begging for a sale. Even Lidio got me thinkin....G8?

Yep, time to dump that slow piece of crap and get something faster.
There are GTO's, Vettes, Challengers, R/T Chargers and Magnums.... AMG Mercedes, M Series BMW's ..... all kinds of rides out there.
What the hell made you buy a crappy Marauder to start with? Bad move, Bro!

What fool would drive a Marauder.:confused: it’s a 4500 LB unattractive unreliable slow car. I would never drive one.
