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!
And your opinion is worth what I paid you for it as well. I was simply agreeing with Ron.
AZ_A12_BEE so sorry your thread went sideways.
Steve. we were just stating a view on how WE FEEL a mopar rod should be built with a mopar engine and hopefully getting someone to see why a mopar in a mopar is a better way yo go. (especially on a mopar site)
there is no need to get mad and throw insults about opinions.
looking at resale or worth a ford or chevy guy could care less about a mopar rod.
they would not be interested in it because its not the brand they like.
and the mopar guys would not be interested in it because its not mopar powered. so it make more sense to use a mopar in a mopar. just like it makes more sence to use a chevy in a chevy
OK now lets get this thread back on AZ_A12_BEE build Ron...
