I would never do it to a Mopar.....but a Daihatsu....maybe  But seriously......I just dropped 2K for a set of CNC Small block heads for my 414 that flow ALMOST as well as a brand new set of off the shelf LS3 heads  I love the LS2 in My Trailblazer SS "tow car" 350+ HP to the wheels, 20MPG on the highway, seats 5 and tows 6800 pounds AND will easily outrun the 69 Road Runner I had in high school. It'd be an insult  to put one in a Vintage Mopar but I can certainly understand the mass appeal of the motor in terms of bang for the buck

Ultimately it's just a car, and if I was starting with nothing I would consider it, from a price vs. hp standpoint alone. I wouldn't do it to anything even remotely collectible though, and probably not any B or C bodies.
Some people make sure brand loyalty takes a backseat to performance, there isn't anything wrong with it. Just make sure it's quick when it's done!

I get it Dom, just like your all about na numbers, I'm all about bang for the buck... I knew this would stir the pot, but its a legit question, look at all the Mustangs with LS motors... 
Im sure if you where putting a mopar engine in somethings else it would be ok though, LOL
I dont see any harm in it seeing an A Body can be had cheap and theres no shortage of them. Now the GM guys maybe mad you put there engine into a mopar though,lol

Purists  I say do it. I have been a Mopar guy a loong time, but sometimes you got to say the heck with it and try something different--sometimes for dollar sake. My only grip (or request) is make it work without cutting anything on the car so it can be reversed later on. This is in front of an 833 4-speed and is not in a GM vehicle. It can be unbolted and you'd never know it was in there.

The only cars that don't phase me anymore seeing frankenswaps in them is fox bodies, mainly because they are such a bastardized cookie cutter car and they mean nothing...I cringed when they had some nissan motor in a mustang in fast and the furious (as gay as that movie was- and that was the icing on the cake for the entire series), just like I would cringe seeing a chevy motor in a mopar. I have to say, the new hemi can be done for quite cheap- maybe not as cheap as an LS motor, but the potential for them is just as much if not more for the LS. I would seriously look into one of those if I was you. If you can't make the brand of the bodystyle run fast enough, buy a different car- I am a mopar guy through and through, but slovas, slomaros, and shovelles are all good looking cars that would house an LS motor much better then any duster

I hope a bunch of people do it! I think its just the slap in the face Mopar Performance and other people that can bring better and cheaper gen III parts to the public faster than they are. If they haven't noticed already the ls engines are taking a huge amount of their customer base and converting them to bowtie. The new hemis are great engines to but they are way over priced to swap.
Mopar to the bone!!!
