1965 Valiant LS Build

I agree with you 100% and I'll add.........

Had Mopar not abandoned V8 rear wheel drive cars for TWENTY SEVEN YEARS, things might be different. But that STUPID MOVE put them light years behind Ford and Chevy and to this day, they've never caught up. Yeah. And here come all the "But the Charger and Challenger" comments. Screw those over weight, over priced pigs. While Ford was churning out millions of Fox body Mustangs on the CHEAP for guys to modify with everything under the sun available, and Chevy did the same with the Camaro, Mopar had nothing. ON TOP OF THAT, Mopar gutted Mopar Performance and SOLD the company.......THREE TIMES. There is no Mopar anymore.

The argument against the Chevy engine HERE has been made, It's old. This is page FIVE now. If you don't have anything else but "I wouldn't put a Chevy engine in a Mopar" comments, then STFU and go find something else to do. It's HIS car and he's building it HIS way with HIS money not YOURS. Go FU<K yourselves.
I totally agree. Mopar's V8 technology is archaic compared to GM and Ford, especially when looking at an engine from twenty years ago. An LS engine from 2004 still holds up today while a Mopar V8 from the same year is far behind in efficiency and reliability.
