5.7 into 69 Charger - which is better: car or truck engine?

[professor-patrick]

Putting together info on a 5.7 hemi swap into a 69 charger.  Wondering which 5.7 is better for the swap in terms of accessory drive and intake manifold - the LX (car) or DR (truck) engines?  Any insight is appreciated.

plus side of the car 5.7 is the lower mounted accessory drive and cooler looking intake manifold ---  downside is tighter fitting on the K member with the A/C compressor.

Plus side of the truck 5.7 is the high mounted accessories with more clearance around most things ----   downside -  hideous intake manifold.
