Im interested now. you stated " anyone is a GM supplier and would like to donate a New 454 ,502,572 engine ,transmission etc..the whole works to me to install"   

I don't think that's gonna happen anytime too soon  If you do and you get extras I gotta Cutlass convertible that would take that setup too. As far as being interested in Chevys....sure a lot of us are but WRONG site

The fact is that I have had a few GM cars, 57 Chevy, 71 Buick GS and a couple of others. plus a couple of Fords 68 Cyclone and a 67 Mustang GT390 and I can tell you from experience.  Mopars have the GMs and Fords in the BAG just on the sheer cool factor.

A 69 Charger makes a 66-67 Chevelle pale in comparison. 
And a  71 Cuda delegates all the other Pony Cars to a race for second.

As for Chevy engines, the ones I have had were all overrated. Give me a nice 340-360 or fat block mopar any day.


Those have their place in a Chevy. But then I don't even like putting Chevys in Buicks or Pontiacs. or anything else that didn't come with one.
That is just a personal thing to me.

But then I've always wanted to build a 55 Ford F-100 with a 440/727 and 8*3/4 so What do I know???

If there wasn't competition, there wouldn't be a need for performance cars and like any good competition, some of us are going to be rabidly passionate fans of the "home team".  Agreed, the name calling is overboard but at least we don't cause riots like a European soccer match.

Mopar or Sell Car. PERIOD.

I think when it comes to a second gen Charger the power plant is important. People would ask me what's under the hood?
I'd tell them a 400. They would give me a confused look  . Then I would have to explain, the 400 was the replacement for the 383 and it really is a good engine blah blah blah.  After I got a 440.. Nooooo problem with people understanding what that meant .

I've had several vehicle's with small block chevy's, there good engines. But in the long run, you will not be satisfied.

I don't think anyone is really saying that GM engines are junk. Most people are simply saying that using a Chevy engine instead of a Dodge is kind of a dumb way to try to save money given all the hassles it's going to create. Now if the world was clean out of Mopar engines, or even if they were difficult to find, his plan would make sense but last I checked that's far from being the case.

Perfect Bull, and that goes to the heart of the Model A analogy too.  People stuck smallblock Chevys in those things because they were cheap and easy to install in old cars that were cheap to buy.  Chargers aren't cheap but reliable and powerful Mopar engines can still be had which will drop right in.
