1965 Valiant LS Build

How are they anti enthusiasts? They sell their Gen 3 hemi’s and hellcat crate engines solely for this very purpose. They also sponsor numerous events such as Roadkill nights and Power Tour, they were even the main sponsor for Drag Week last year .

That's all they do. Look at Ford Racing and GMPP for comparison, WAY more support with decent-quality affordable parts for enthusiasts either modifying their cars or swapping older models. GM still makes parts and even crate engines based on the old 350 SBC, Mopar dropped all the SBM/Magnum stuff years ago. Nobody buys crate Hemis at those prices, far more cost-effective to use junkyard and warranty or wrecked pullout engines. I was more against the LS-swapped Mopars up until recently when I realized Dodge/Mopar (Stellantis) doesn't really give a damn about their performance enthusiast customer base except for the ones driving current models. LS also has advantages of being more compact and lighter especially with the aluminum block versions. I still wouldn't do it myself but I understand more now why others would.
