LS engines aren't magical. They don't make any more horsepower than any other modern day pushrod engine.

It's a damn good platform, you must admit. At least until they added AFV to it. To the OP ; NOBODY likes a whiner. Grow up, grow a pair, and build your damn car the way you want it. Of course you're going to catch crap about it, I would give you crap too. But, if you were serious, I would give you all the advice I could and would help you if you were close, as would a good percentage of guys on here. Why the hell do you care so much about the typings of a bunch of people you know nothing about ??? Quit being a baby or sell the Valiant. The car deserves better (I own one, also).
