Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

They were definitely available. However at the price compared to the setup I currently have, it was apples to oranges. Much more cost involved in building a new gen iii hemi and swapping that in than what I have. Trust me I nerded out and did a full blown Excell spreadsheet of costs for gen iii vs LS. LS won hands down. Thus I started the LS swap on jt snd jt germane me a chance to engineer some thing to do something, that at the time I had only ever seen mentioned twice. Never actually saw any really info on making it work.

So could I have done the plug an play that every other mopar owner does and pay more for it, absolutely. Did I want to be like everyone else in the mopsr crowd and put a 318 or 360 in there? Absolutely not.

I could see how that is confusing for a lot of mopar owners. If you need anymore clarification to accelerate your understanding, feel free to ask. I may still have the spreadsheet around somewhere. Have a blessed week my friend.

You didn't compare apples to apples. It's like saying "I compared a promod engine to a super-stock engine and hands-down, the S/S engine was the way to go". Per cubic inch, of course the hemi is more expensive and heavier, too. I don't know what horsepower you really need for the street or for anywhere for that matter, but a really nicely set up Mopar small block, will produce over 1,000 hp. Ok, what ever. I'm done with trying to talk a "Mopar fan" into being a tad bit more loyal. All the Mother Mopar fans I have ever known, wouldn't dream of doing what you did. Shame on you. That's my two cents. I'm moving on and wont read any more of this thread. Enjoy.
