Gas price going up // Rethinking the new project car

Just letting off some steam...i love the old la engines but cost $$$ parts , cores , paying a rusted 340 core for what it is..versus a 5.2 or a 5.9 magnum with roller cam technology, hate it if you want , im very old school but newer engines have roller cams , fuel injection, better machining overall , the cost of a v6 3.6 etc , a srt4 4- banger , v6 caravans ,chrysler turbo engine, even the 4.7 powertech are probably all killing every old stock muscle on the street , im not even talking about lx platforms wth their hemi's , im a big old school fan , but tech as come a long way , as strong as i love a good old 340 4 speed duster with a suregrip a new camry is gonna kick my *** all over the place...and we can hate it , we can piss at them like he said , but fuel consumption and quality is there..why is it so bad to make these swaps if people are able to do it , hard headed as i can be im pretty sure that i will keep the car have a lumpy cam in it and a good old v8 , but i have to find a way to have better gas mileage....my 2 cents
