There is a guy putting one in a A body on FABO. I don't agree with it but if the new genIII hemis were not so swap unfriendly and expensive to make run with factory efi people wouldn't be so tempted to use brand x. When you get it done park it out front of Chrysler and see how long it takes them to get the hint.
Mopar to the bone!!!

I would never do it, BUT, I wouldn't bust chops to hard if u did do it. The support for the LS engines is amazing and very tempting plus they are a good engine.
Are you going to use the OEM GM electronics or an aftermarket system like a FAST? If an aftermarket I say to HEMI. I know they're more expensive but I think they're a better engine. You can buy a retrofit kit to put the LS1 computer and sensors on a HEMI. If/when I use a HEMI that is the route I would go, OEM reliability and more parts than you can shake a stick at
Honestly, Id probably put a carb on it like the set up in my Nova (LS3)

Thats just it... you can re-cam a junk yard LQ4 or LQ9 (6.0) and throw the L92 heads (big port) and make 500HP, THEN add nitrous it for 800HP... all for around $2K... freakin crazy... Meanwhile I can sell my 340 for $3-4K that would pay for the LS swap and then some... Just thinkin out loud I guess... I never liked mixed breed cars, but just seems you cant beat it for the money...
Really? For 2k? What do JY 6.0's go for, how much are L92 heads? Mopars have never been cheap and everyone knows that but it still gets frustrating. U can get 6.1 HEMI'S for around 5-6 K, sell the intake for 500 ish, factory headers for 200 ish, which would cover the cost of a dragpack intake. TTI makes headers for A bodies so no custom headers needed ($) for the LS. It would still be more expensive than an LS but worth it in my opinion

I would never do the LS engine just for the sake of it being another boring zzz chevy engine, but I will admit that the price and bang for my buck factor did pop into my head...
Thank you...........just go buy a damn Camaro and be done with it.
