LS swap ?

How do you know that the abortion listed above is the same car and same guy? The OP listed his location as Florida, that sales listing is Indiana.

I don't, I wasn't saying it's the same guy. I was saying that this is a similar type of style as what he was saying, anyways that's a 71 and he had a 73. I was just saying it's bastardized well and good haha, almost like how he'd wanted

Also showing the value, or i should say lack of the car. And not to mention a 71 is more valuable than a 73 by a decent bit

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The whole thing is a **** show. I didn’t look deeper at the details.
At a glance, it looked like a listing the OP could have made after building the car and regretting it.

Well the regret part would be a given

It's not the same car it was more about the combo... lol

In defense of the idiots, who here has looked into the cost of swapping in a late model Hemi?
Sure, there are kits and parts to do it but it sure isn’t cheap.
I priced it out for this car:

I was looking at over $5000 in mounts, headers, external parts, PCM and fuel system
And that isn’t including the engine.
I’m not advocating any GM engine swap into a Mopar but it sure isn’t cost effective being loyal to the brand.

It's not being loyal to the brand, but having a fancy B/RB is being loyal to your own personal standards.

I saw that post.... It firmly squished my ideas of a gen 3 hemi swap with my budget. I thought it would be headers, intake, motor mounts but God damn it's like everything but the long block is different.

I can say I've had my mind changed by people in another thread to keep a small block in my car instead of a big block or gen 3 hemi because of price and I can still get my desired power out of a SBM. Price is primary reason, but a secondary reason is actually keeping characteristics of the car in driving.

All of the money wasted on changing over to either an LS or a Gen3 Hemi could be used to make your B/RB a great engine.

Just think of the money wasted swapping in a 5.0 Phord driveline like they did in the pretty 70 Plymouth that’s on YT.. The guy made the comment he wanted to Coyote swap everything.
