IMO there already is a Mopar 5.0 and 5.3" bore space block out there. Just because you are used to seeing it in Chevies does not make it a GM engine. If someone made a one piece oil pan spacer cap arrangement with cross bolts main caps would that make you think it is a mopar? How about if they made it fit a mopar bell housing? Do you hear the chevy guys complaining about their shaft rockers or gear rotors in their dry sump pumps complain? In any of these purpose designed and built engines there are a lot of ideas robbed from all three of the big American manufacturers. It just seems the Chevy guys are more interested in going fast and not about whether or not they can buy their valve cover gaskets at the local auto parts store.
