Does anyone know why these engines are not being used by Workhorse as a option to Big Block Chevy? Thanks for all opinions!

Well yes and it is easy. Worknorse used to be GM, they are a Spin off of GM (Beofre Workorse they made GMC, Same plant, Same people, Same designs) SO Workhorse is set up for GM engines. always has been.

HEMI is not a brand, it's a design, and it's the engine design CHRYSLER uses.

So for Workhorse to use Chrysler engines.. not likely going to happen. at least not in teh Gasoline engine class.

In the Diesel class you often find alternative companies. For example a FORD chassis, with a Cummings engine, and an Allison tranny is not unhead of,, But never in Gas less it's an after market mod.

Thanks John! Workhorse stated when they get back into the RV Chassis sometime in the future there going with two gas engines a 6.0 for the smaller coaches and a 8.8 for there larger coaches but they wouldn't mention the engine brand? Possibly the Ill. engine?
