Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

I don't know why you thought you needed a hemi. Of course they are expensive. That is just one reason why I wont bother with a hemi. I think it is hugely sacreligious to put a cheby engine in a Mopar. Sorry, but I am a real Mopar fan and anyone like me, would never DREAM of doing so. Who care about how cheap an ls engine is. So are 318s, 360s, etc. I've said all I care to on this thread.
I don't get what the issue is, it's not like the car was an original big block Dart, or anything rare. He built it with his own money and time, following in the footsteps of the original hotrodders, the guys that built with what they could find. It's this purist attitude that will drive more people away from this hobby. Everyone is welcome to their own opinion, like it or don't, but respect the effort and work that goes into a person's project.
