Why?

Straightline--If you ever want to make a trip to Wisconsin.I'll be HAPPY to take you out in the country for a ride in my Duster with the 5.7 in it,Hell I'll let you drive it,You will then realize WHY i did the swap in my Duster,I don't even have to open the hood for you THEN we'll go for a ride in a 68 valiant with a built 340 and you will FEEL the difference.I put up with a LOT of **** from people here for putting a carbed 5.7 in my duster--it comes down to WHAT YOU want in YOUR car that YOUR spending your MONEY on,Hell even these so called MOPAR people have the guts to say that the NEW Hemi AIN'T even a TRUE Hemi because of the quench in the bowls of the heads.Before you take any advise from anyone here ask if they have the experience and knowledge you are looking for and there is plenty here and great guy's but beware of the na-sayers that post pics of car's they cut up and sold but still display to make people think "they are the man" if you ever want any question answered about this swap just P.M me I have helped a few around here with there questions.--Steve

What you carbed a 5.7 Hemi!!!. :D I've heard plenty of carbed hemi's on youtube, they sound like a NASCAR when they smash the go pedal. I've posted plenty about my preference for EFI, but in all honesty, sticking with EFI probably cost me an extra year in my build.

I Love your post. Basically it says, Once a naysayer takes a ride they will STFU." As the old saying goes, "When the green flag drops the BS stops."

You're also right about getting first hand knowledge, not that there isn't reliable and good secondary sources but whenever I read a post that says, "I heard...." I think to myself, better verify this before going forward.
