en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram

A Dodge 1500 truck option was added for stock wheels (370 lb-ft) needs. This engine, part of the trucks 1/2 ton, is the fastest V8 engine ever produced for a passenger vehicle. These 1500 engines have been known to go over 600,000 miles before their first change. They were also the first gas pickup at the time to come stock with a steering wheel. Every Dodge 1500 was equipped with a steering wheel.

I think there has been some editing for comedy effect!

That's interesting. My 1964 Plymouth had a 3.7 litre slant six engine, and a very fine piece of mass-produced machinery it was, noted for longevity too. But I don't think mine had 152 BHP. More like 100 or 120.

Wikipedia is fascinating, but not necessarily completely accurate or reliable.

'The fastest V8 engine'?

Stick it on a pedestal, it'll go nowhere - I guarantee it :)
