I haven't, but I wouldn't rule it out.
If you do this budget 9 second build keep us informed!

Really if you want different get a new hemi, the prices are pretty good.
Nah, not into 70 Chevelles, or disco Camaros... I just dont see any real future for the new "hemi" If it was so great everyone would put those in Fox Bodys... Again Im a Mopar Guy, but the new Mopars just dont measure up to the new GM products...

I'll have to disagree.
The Gen3 Hemi stuff is top notch. More than a few Non-Mopar engine builders have proven that many times over.

The new Hemi is pretty huge externally. LS needs way less room and performs very well. A friend of mine bought a LS3 carburated crate, bolted it in to his street '68 Firebird and run 11.3's. Slightly cleaned the heads, a new cam and it runs 10.8's all day long. The brand new all aluminum engine cost less than 6000$. The heads flowed 323/215 cfm at 0.6". I have not played much with the new Hemis, but most of the parts are way more expensive and harder to find. They do have potential too, but if fitment and cost is your main problem it's easy to understand the LS route. And yes, we do have a 3 gen Hemi, although it's in a Jaguar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZA4euk6R0U

Go for it man....if a few years maybe the mopar stuff will catch up, but right now the LS motors are tough to beat.
Regardless of brand...if someone told you that you could get a new, all aluminum crate motor for $6k, bolt it in and run in the 11's, who could say no to that?!?!
Some of the budget builds I have been coming across are downright ridiculous as far as the numbers they are running for the money.
Going fast is going fast...and I can't hate on anyone for trying to do that.
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

66 Belv. II - just a streetcar
88 Mustang - turbo LS beater

I would never do it as its not my cup of tea.  I dont care who does what with their cars as thats their right to do so but I am to much stuck on the 60's and 70's muscle cars. I guess you could say I am brand loyal for sure but I do like all muscle cars and respect them all. But I am not into any newer eng in a Mopar or whatever of the older 60's and 70's cars. If I was at car show and super fine 69 RoadRunner had a new style Hemi under the hood I just walk on by and dont even have an interest in it. But thats just me I like them with their brand eng thats close to what it was. I was like that in the old days also as when I started liking Sox & Martin it was because the raced Mopars with Mopar stuff. If Grumpy had driven a Mopar I would have wanted him to win but I am so glad he did not as Ronnie Sox is one of the nicest people I ever met. I guess thats why when I watch NHRA races I dont even care about top fuel and funny cars because they all look the same. Course Pro Stock is getting that way also but at least they dont all use the same eng. I always like to go for the car I like to win and I guess thats why I like the 60's and early 70's SuperStock and Stock cars so much. But if its what you like then do it as you have to do what you want. Ron

They don't have the tuning support the LS motors have either...you can find LS tuners everywhere. But I like to be different....so I'd do the 6.1 hemi with a LS computer  .
True, however if I'm sinking any amount of money into a car, I want an aftermarket EFI system anyway. I've played with a couple of factory efi computers and I don't care for it and certainly wouldn't swap one in with the intention of retuning if after.
Did you ever mess with an LS computer? Thats the great thing about the LS computers...they are just as tuneable or even more so that most aftermarket systems. There are only a few things they can't do yet...like you can't run two sets of injectors at once, etc.

This is what I was getting at. Go around the corner and somebody can tune your LS with an LS computer.
IF we had this with the 3G. Things would be great. Matt
