If Ram or Dodge return to V8s, what path will they take?

Sister publication Motales delved into Stellantis’ options for bringing a V8 back to the Ram 1500 and Dodge Charger. Each carries its own risks, costs, and benefits; some (making the “truck 6.4” optional on Ram 1500) are clearly easier and cheaper than others (using the Ferrari twin-turbo V8), and there’s at least one un-obvious choice.

The major choices considered by Motales include bringing back the 5.7 Eagle V8 and/or the SRT version of the 6.4 (392); the Ferrari V8 currently used by Maserati; the surprising Pentastar V8, which was planned but never brought to market; and buying from competitors. One of these competitors stands out as being most likely to provide a good price.
