Try joining a Chevy forum and ask about doing a 3G Hemi swap in a Chevelle and see how many positive replies that you get. Seriously...It is just as silly.
I wonder what the responses would be if one was to join a Chevy Forum and post this same swap question or post “I have a Nova that and I want to swap in a 3rd Gen Hemi”. I’d bet that you’d see the same type of response’s.
Sounds like you REALLY didn't want another slant six because it's not fast and loud enough for you so you opted for what would be the fastest and loudest option...
Gotta agree there. Seems like a real leap to jump from "can't find a slant" to "let's swap in an LS". Hard to imagine an LS is cheaper and easier to swap in than even a V8 Mopar, unless that's the desired goal anyway.
I wouldn't have commented on the original thread, just like I haven't commented on the other LS swapped projects. To each his own. Not a direction I would go, but I don't really care what others do in that regard.
Reminds me of my nephew's early Chevelle. The original motor was gone, so my he and my brother swap a 360/904 Mopar combo into it. I guess it was pretty easy to do, too. It was fun to watch the GM guys get green in the face and nauseous when they realized it. Used to go to car shows just to watch them.
