Picco 26 or sirio s27. There are others but not a 5.9 they suck IMO.

Agreed... I'm not a fan of 5.9
I wld go Picco .26 Red Dot... O.S. .21... or like stated above the Sirio s27...
I think but could be wrong that the Sirio is a little harder to fit...
With the right engine mount (New Era) the other two should go straight in
Hope this helps..

I needed a bb pipe and manifold, a sirio 23 mount from trinity, and a tekno throttle setup, so yes it was a bit more involved. I love the s27 though it's super torquey and sounds amazing. I also haven't had to touch the needles all summer. 159 bucks on ebay.
As suggested, it will require a BB kit (mount, pipe, header, linkage) to get it installed. If you go that route, then there are many engines that will fit the bill without wrecking the truck every time you run it. Low torque and high RPM is what you need from a BB in a revo.
