I have to agree with you about the potential these Hemi's have! If Ma' Mopar was to put one in a 3200# car, lets say a new Dart?? That my friend would be the fastest thing on the street coming off the showroom floor!! The FJORD 5.0 would be a speck of dirt in the mirror LoL...
I don't see why the stock 6.1 shorty headers wouldn't work in a A-body?? They dump the same way stock smallblock mannies do!
I thought I might regret trading my BB Cuda for my SRT8, Not a chance!! 12.70's in a brick with a/c, comfy leather sofa seats, 2 screens with DVD including 600+ watt 5.1 Surround and 13 Kickers bangn'. Not to mention 160mph+ capable when I feel like it!!
When I do decide to build another "OLD" Mopar, it will have a SRT8 Donor car for engine/trans and anything else I can make fit!
