That's awesome that he's supporting the swap. You should start a build thread, though maybe on another site (less off topic banter, I would imagine). Shoot me a PM if you already have one or have pictures, etc.

I'll take it from your lack of response that your stance hasn't changed, and you do in fact stand behind the 5.3/4.8 is superior to the 5.7 Hemi on all fronts. That is 100% false You have convinced me one of the four must be true based on your stance: 1. You've known from the beginning...

She fits great! Way more spacious vs a Hemi. I would tend to agree with you that when starting with a tubular k member, the LSx swap will be cheaper. Let me know how yours progresses!

Lol not my intention. If you're saying it's cheaper to put an LSx in a Chevy than to put a Hemi into a Mopar, I agree (not $5000 worth in my experience, though). If you're saying LSx in a Mopar vs Hemi in mopar- I'm surprised. Which is it? Or was this a different chassis entirely? EDIT: did...

What kind of car?

Last weekend of March I ran the Texas world speedway mustang HPDE. My instructors car was a 97 bondourant cobra with a 5.0 coyote motor (the orange latemodelrestoration.com car). That 5.0 is a fantastic road race motor! 440+ rwhp and 7500+ rpm all day. Wow. My January instructor drives an...

Well spoken DionR. Very knowledgable posts

To clarify, in your opinion, the 5.7 hemi is behind the 5.3/4.8 in all categories listed above? Yes or no.

Forgot Hemi pan and pickup. $400

Alright, so correct me if I'm wrong here: LSx swap, by your numbers: $1000-$2000 in labor for mounts and oil pan modifications $250 shelf headers or ~$1500 custom headers (fair estimate?) Guesstimate: $1250 to $2250 for manual steering and shelf headers $2750-$3750 with power steering...

You asked a question, and I answered it. I went back to the beginning of the disagreement and posted the exact things said, by you and me. Your statements were never conditional to 'only street/strip budget builds that are restricted to stock long blocks'. If you had made conditional...

That's an impressive package to say the least. I can't believe they're offering a 50k mile warranty on it. And to think- the swap parts given you already own an alterktion would be quite cheap. I was actually pricing out a 5.0 coyote swap the other day after riding in my instructors '97...

No, the start of this wasn't specific to street/strip cars. I first posted to contend against this statement: I made three statements here: 1- the LSx is cheaper with stock bottom ends and stock heads 2- to say a hemi 'can't hold a candle to the LSx for anywhere near the same money' just...

My stance has been the same from the very beginning. The hemi head is superior to the LSx head. It has not changed, so you saying 'where you're at now" doesn't apply - it's been the same stance the entire time. I'll take that as a concession on your part that the hemi head is indeed superior...

My only issue from the other thread was magnumdust's statement that the LSx is superior to the 3G Hemi. Sure, there are some things it is better at, and others it is not. *the following is limited to LSx vs Hemi Forced induction, stock long block: Up to 6-8 psi: it's a wash, LSx prob cheaper...

The LSx valiant build thread was full of bickering, so I'm starting a new thread so that everyone can voice their opinions without dirtying up LS1Ace's thread. Two main points of discussion: 1- In your opinion, which motor is superior? and why? or, what motor is best for what application...

I've got plastidip on my wheels, my hood scoop, bumpers, headlight bezels, spoiler, all chrome trim, etc. The grille is actually in a super flat black paint. I like plastidip, but don't go rubbing on it too much. I've 'rubbed' it off the corners of the bumpers walking around the car in the...

x2 - good info here. Here are the charts on a couple "defensive" rounds. The 124 gr +p hollow point 9mm's have a good reputation. The most important part of using a handgun for self defense is where you place your shot. Here is a good place for cheap handgun ammo: www.3gunammo.com...
