5.7 L Hemi, ZF 8HP70 Swap

Yeah, just what all the other guys do, put an ls3 in it. Why even have a Mopar if you're gonna do that? Better yet just buy an old Pinto, weld in the LS3 and then just bolt your Barracuda emblems on that. Be pretty much the same as a Barracuda with an LS3 and an AlterKtion.......

Because some people like the looks of the mopar and want a proven superior engine. The price he'll pay for that new hemi will be about the same as the LS3, and that LS3 powered mopar will destroy the hemi(yeah yeah, no one cares about built engines where budget is no concern)

Articcolds: An LS is doable with coilover suspension. Kind of a headache with the torsion bars.
