A buddy of mine just picked up an Isuzu pickup with a dual quad 440. Looks like it belongs in a 1993 issue of car craft.

Looks like a good idea, but...
Why do you think the hot ones are stroked 302 engines and not 351 engines?
No room under the hood.
302 deck height: 8.206"
351W deck height: 9.500"
LA deck height: 9.600"

Crossbreed? Heck yes! The fantastic Chevy LS3 engine on the stand in my garage is going to make a very fun enhancement to my 66 Coronet. I'm looking forward to it very much!

If I hear the word "LS" again I'm going to puke. I mean it must be the "only" engine in the entire world. Why would you go though all the hassle? accessory drive, mounts, headers, oil pan, trans cross member, drive shaft, electronics. Non is cheap or fits. To what end? Hell, they don't even go in a Chevy with out a boat load of stuff.

Hood scoop and rear wheel wells to match a '68 hemi Dart. Rump stripe and body color engine bay to top it all off.

Speaking of crossbreeds, look at our country now  Sometimes it is better to not experiment and mess with success, you think     Why would we want to help our opponents get better parts and make there lifes better
Crossbreeding a powerplant is hotrodding fair game and a standard practice in my book. Same logic applies to transmissions, axles, radiators, shifters, suspension, ect.
Aside from your hurt feelings (most certainly not mine), and the generally crappy attitude of most Mopar Luddites towards and regarding innovation, what's not to like about the LS engine swap. Seriously. If you don't understand the appeal and advantages of the LS platform then that is your problem. Seriously.
I didn't post about my LS3 swap to troll for a fight any more than the OP created this post to lure affirmations and create a "rip on brand X" extravaganza. There is a lot of interest in the swap, though most just keep it quiet to avoid the loudmouth haters.
Even though it's the middle of winter and everyone is cranky, lets be play nice and be civil.

Really............how many pics of them do you want with BBC in them with just a small cowl hood. They fit just fine.
As to everyone being sick of the LS deal.........well it is what it is. Excellent motor and dirt cheap to buy
