word of the day,"moparish" because thats all it would be.and why?it would be an aftermarket motor anyway.its either mopar or not.no in between.if somebody were to design another ground up mountain motor,the only reason to use any existing parts would be cost and availability.one can mix all makes and manufacturers parts if you wish.it would be great if mopar actually built some large c.i. parts .not gonna happen.they went as far as they were ever going to go with the 5.0 99 stuff,and its as rare as hens teeth.having said that,i guess nobody will ever be really happy with whats out there until they decide whats more important.race the class,or watch......
