Right so originally, a year or so ago, I wanted a Gen III Hemi. However, when I factored everything you mentioned above, including cost, I decided to go small block as it's a drop-in situation. I was even contemplating stroking it. Then I saw this engine for sale and said it was way too good of a deal so I jumped on it quick and bought it. The whole point was to get the Dart fun and done so I can start enjoying it as a grad present to myself. The shop is taking a little bit slower than I'd like but if I did it, it would have taken me 2-5 years to get it anywhere near this point.
