What has suprised me is the number of people on here that said they either thought about it or have/are going to do it.

Yes, I too believe at a certian point, buying brand new parts, the cost can become a wash. But like all things GM, eventually, someone has got to go faster and used parts become available cheaper. And when supply and demand weigh on new parts being produced, well, just like the good old 350, they are going to be much more abundant vs. a more specialty like a G3 HEMI.

Is it for everyone, certianly not, and the posts here are not trying to push anyone in one direction. I think the pro's of it are valid reasons--cost right out of the box in alot of areas is usually cheaper to go just as fast. The con's of it are you are left with a crossbred car that may or may not sell if that is the ultimate goal. That is why I said right from the beginning that if it is done, do not chop the car so it can be returned to stock later. It can be done.
