We share the same view here. I think the point of building a Mopar rod is to be different and putting a belly button drivetrain in it defeats the purpose.
I am a rodder and use lots of different things like a Ford differential or a GM alternator, etc. The only thing I am a purist about is a Chrysler engine.
Rodding is a freedom no rules kinda thing and someone is free to build as they choose but why be another sheep in the herd?? Like LS engine hype in a Mopar. I hate to inform them but the 5.7 Hemi is a good engine with lots of power potential.
If the Frames are similar to the '39 to '47 trucks and a person wants keep the straight axle, an LA Chrysler is a drop in!!
You gonna pay for it?
You gonna do the work?
Then who cares what your opinion is.
IT IS NOT YOUR TRUCK, YOUR MONEY OR YOUR CHOICE!
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
