Thanks for being one of the few with an open mind. Most hemis in the junk yard are still way more expensive to buy than an LS. Mods are a lot more too. Mopar ecms are not user friendly. That why guys try and use LS ecms and succeed. If you carb a hemi compare just the manifold cost to an LS. Install, bout the same except exhaust. Again LS is less than hemi,and better fit. I looked at every reasonable way to do a mopar, being a past mopar guy myself. The LS just makes more since to ME in power,mpg, handling and mods for money spent. Not tryin to rain on mopars parade. Just MY opinion and research. I still have trouble with the idea of LS in my 67 cuda,but makes since to me
