Pascamp,you maybe right. I remember fighting valve train geometry issues in the 70's. Never had block problem with big blocks, but a lot of crank walk even with arp stuff. A lot of bearing issues too. Never messed with the new hemis. Heard enough bout them to avoid em. Don't have the cash to throw at em,and don't want to. I guess I got enough opinions and made some folks mad. I got a well built LS3 on a stand. Makes 600 on paper. I may put it in my A body. Least it'll look good, sound good, run good, with decent mpg. Also won't need my wallet every time it hiccups. Seen some mopar builds with 2004r and700r4 trannys. That is unless I find a mopar way. BTW, thanks. I was lookin hard at a challenger with a hemi and a six speed. All the bling looked nice, glad I didn't take the plunge.
