i think its a good idea. i'd like to see less powerful cheaper versions too.. 9k is a bit steep for a rebut one in my opinion but thats mopars i guess...

modern power plants are the way to go in the future if you ask me... biggest drawback is having to hack the **** out of a mopar to fit a good OD trans in one.


damn gm guys have it nice.. a friend just put something similar to this into a 66 chevelle. says its a rocket ship.. Chevrolet Performance 19370413PAK: LS3 Crate Engine and 4L70E Trans Kit | JEGS

Very familiar with the "connect and cruise" from GM. The thing there is they are just an OEM LS3. I'd like to try and be above that mark.
i do agree it'd be nice to have an OE style 5.7 for less $$....but at that level we're one step closer to fighting with the takeout engines, and the "Mopar" crate offerings. don't know if we'd win that battle. we'll see where the research and future takes us. at least with a forged setup in a 392...we're far enough removed form either mopar hemi crate to be unique.
