Want to be different by installing a Chevy moder in a Dakota??

This is a post from another site that I replied to.

There's nothing different doing what you want to do. I'd do a highly boosted 4BT engine before doing a Chebby moder.....if you want to be different, then be different. I'm so sick of seeing SBC engines in everything from go carts to motor homes! There's NOTHING different about dropping a Chevy motor into anything.

Cheap and easy... disappointing, boring , dull and the band wagon effect... it’s as bad as putting a Chevy trans and 9” ford under it when we already had far better stuff from the get go...? Sorry my rant, can’t forget the Chevy tilt steering column too, the one that always has the screws that fall out and it flips around like a fish outta water.

Putting a Chebby engine in your Mopar is like putting brussel sprouts in your lasagna!!

The Cheby small block, LS etc etc etc everything!!! I put a Ferd 4.6 DOHC 4V w custom intake manifold for a blow through carburetor, turbo in a jet boat. That's different.

Don't get me wrong: a 396 in a 67 Chevelle... fine. Nice car. I'll give you that. But Mopars deserve Mopar plants. Keep your cotton-pickin' bowtie out of my Dodge.

Seriously, how can a guy who cannot even spell or string a coherent sentence together be trusted to do an engine swap in the first place?

Shade tree crack heads?

It's all good, I can hardly wait until he tries to sell it though. No Mopar guy will touch it and neither will the GM guys.

It's neither novel nor new

just lame IMO

--------------------------------------------

I prefer a MoPar in a MoPar
a Ford in a ford a GM in a GM/even
I prefer a Pontiac in a Pontiac, Olds in an Olds,
or Buick in a Buick even
but it's more acceptable to have a GM/Corporate combo in a GM

---------------------------------------------

a racecar is one thing
but;
lots of Ford bodies with GM/Corporate drivetrains
usually that's budget limited too, big huge $$ to build MoPars
Even Ford's at one time too or use to be unavailable even...

when GM
that stuff is cheap & really easy to make power
900hp+ easily with out of the box 'catalog ****'
1/2 the price of doing it to a MoPar & far more parts support too
anybody with a min. of half a brain can do it
to do that with a MoPar takes $$$ & some actual talent

I've done it myself, not much was Ford other than body style
I'm so ashamed

----------------------------------------------

but not a MoPar with a Chevy ever, never ever
IMO that's just sacrilege (call me a hypocrite I don't care)
when there's so damn many great now even cheap
MoPar drive-train possibilities

sand in my lasagna is bad enough........ don't torture me with any green stuff

It's the beautiful expensive mopar street rods with 350/350 combos i dont understand. You can do all that work to a make it a great hotrod.....and you cant put the effort in it to put a mopar in it? Why bother?
If you want to NOT get me to look at your street rod.... put a chevy in it.

I wish I could agree multiple times

There's a local here with a gorgeous green Duster. Every mod done to the inside, suspension, brakes, etc... n he put an LS in it. Don't get it.

SBC's are soooo.........kindergarten

Sounds like it's time someone got a beating....better round up the posse...

I think of all the hemis that power top fuel and altered cars ... it’s not as many as Chevy in our stuff probably but there is nothing like flipping a lid and seeing someone fall over dead that their precious shivvy is mopar powered ... I’ve seen it in rare occasions... also seen a 440 powered kit car Cobra in the St. Louis area years ago too.. I hate when the heart of the tin Indian is replaced by a belly button and likewise with the Buick and olds engines... Chevy means cheap and easy like a hooker that gives you special gifts. IMO

I concur. Spelling and grammar DO matter. Proper use of the spoken word is important as well.
I know a guy that says stuff like "needs fixed, needs restored" and such. He texts with no capital letters or punctuation. Great guy but that **** just drives me batty.
A guy on Youtube that does a LOT of metal replacement videos on Chargers ALWAYS says VAY-lence instead of Vaaa-lence.
I wish that I could tune out that stuff. I wish that I had the ability that some mothers and dog owners do where they tune out screams and barking. I don't.

Awww, cut Chris some slack. The man might be goofy and mispronounce words intentionally for attempted
comedic affect, but he's doing some incredible work, too.

Can we leave the politics for the PF?
