New G3 Hemi Block...

1. A W2 head will go 300 CFM. CFM isn’t all that and a bag of chips. The hemi is still horribly inefficient compared to a wedge head.
2. I can buy a crank trigger pretty cheap. I’ve tested them back to back verses a distributor ignition and until you get past 8000 RPM and have pretty big spring loads there isn’t 5 HP in a crank trigger.
3. Im not even remotely interested in a cam trigger or sensor or anything else. Unless you want variable valve timing (I don’t) that means nothing.
4. 4 bolt mains are highly overrated. That skirted block is a power eater. You can buy billet 4 bolt caps from Ritter for a really cheap price. If you have an X or R block you can machine them for the 4 bolt caps and have steel caps. Which make the bottom all that much stronger. If you can’t get the 4 bolts in the main bulkhead, you cut off the outer bolts and use the steel cap. Plenty strong. I’ve been talking to Ritter about making a set up of just 2 bolt caps. If maybe he saw a market he might do it.
5. You can buy a roller cam for about anything you want. Do I don’t know why that’s a selling point. I refuse to use hydraulic lifters in anything unless the owner can’t use a pop up toaster. They are out there. They get hydraulic lifters. The rest of us use solid lifters.

You can do anything to the LA engine you can do to the G3 hemi and not have the inefficient hemi head.

I agree with you. Not saying you can't get the same stuff on an LA. Just saying that it all comes from the factory on a G3, while it takes aftermarket parts to get them on an LA.

Dang, I forgot coil on plug, too. Again, easy enough to do on an LA, but it is still a custom deal while the G3 has it from the factory.

And I think you would be pretty close to the cost of a 5.7 crate motor to put W2's on an LA. Even the cost of a set of TF heads would get me pretty far down the road of a full EFI G3 swap.
