My Dad was an electrician so I have some nice holes saws here I can loan you to make those holes. Just remember if they look like Hemi valve covers you have to keep them waxed. Lol.

You could go the cheap route and just put a MOPAR PERFORMANCE decal on the valve cover. John Force put a Chevrolet plaque across his Hemi spark plug holes. Or just keep your hood closed.

Be prepared to be shunned by all... My local track had brand specific days. They wouldn't let the car run with the mopars, or the oldsmobiles. You'll do fine though... your an instigator.
My money's on the avenger though.

Come on Guys, Its Christmas time can't we all just get a long and agree to disagree. When you start to write checks to him and pay for what he is doing then you can give your direct input. Its a hobby not a living. He wants to go get ice-cream in the car in the summer, what's better than that?


Thank you

Who really cares ????? I’ve seen a ton of Chevy body cars running around with twin turbo Hemis and no one is crying foul about that ... is it keeping the hobby alive ? Yep sure is. I don’t care what you drive, what motor .. I like Mopar .. I will run it till I can’t .. but as long as OUR hobby stays alive that to me is all that maters.. so motor on .. I like it..

Honestly I don't care what he does with his car, it's his. What I am a little fed up with is trying to justify the use of brand x based assemblies by saying there are no brand x parts in them. We all know what it is so just own it.

I certainly agree with you there Mr Jones. No skin off my sack, I'm just extremely loyal to my brand.

I'm Mopar brand only to and I realize my heads-up car will never be up there with the big money ballers but I would like to get it in the high 4's before I die. Kinda tough running at the top on a budget when you do all your own engine work.

As much as it dulls the appeal for me swapping to chevy power, I can't think of a single LOGICAL reason not to do it. Parts O plenty, less cost, and often more power. Hell, if you buy used chevy stuff it's usually 8 cents on the dollar too. Good luck finding something good used in a mope.

Need a chevy block, you have 10 or more choices new, on shelf, same day, and countless used ones.

Hey I need a Mopar block,,,and a time machine.

This is very true, plus a gazillion already well sorted combo's.

But, to me it's taking the easy route. I would rather walk the road less travelled but man, that road sure has a lot of stones. laugh2

This definetly aint the easy route.....i work hard for my money.....I am a small business owner and employee over 50 people and all the headaches that come with it....i actually felt that spending my money on a proven combination would allow me and my family to enjoy the car without as many hassles with the limited amount of time I can allocate it.......and you better believe i spent way more on this motor than i would have just upgrading the BBM that was in the car.
