I understand your Dad's position. Frankly the LA small blocks are SO GOOD, (IMHO), that it's really hard to beat them. They have LS like valve angles and respond really well to turbocharging, bolt in to a chassis, etc.

Let me first say that this is just my opinion and it is NOT a slam on small block Mopars. Bang for the buck, I see the LS as a hard to beat platform, just for how inexpensive they are and there apparent strength. Show me a passenger car LA block that can withstand 20+ pounds of boost, make 4 hp per cube with a rust stained cylinder wall and opened up oe crusty rings.....http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/hrdp_1109_stock_gm_ls_engine_big_bang_theory/
Sure, this only applies if you are going to go down the forced induction road. But it is a hard fact to argue.......
