And yes I still have my 72 cuda....and my 87 Chrysler 5th ave with the turbo smallblock.....so dont they make up for it!
What if I drill some holes in the valve covers and jam some sparkplugs down in them...would that make things all better? 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.

540ci GENERIC RACE ENGINE
Love it, when ever Chrysler did something Chevy, crank flange, whatever they would refer to it as "generic". One of my favorite Drag Week stories as a little different twist. My son has a 68 Barracuda, pretty much 100% Mopar. It does have port fuel injection and coil near plug ignition. He had a guy take him to the side and tell him he really liked his car even if it did have a Chevy engine!

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 Kiddart

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.

My money's on the avenger though. I just checked out the Avenger...bad ass....Is it still around?...still similar setup?

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.

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.

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.
