Re: I have Mopar crate engine envy! (Flareside)
One of the possibilities on my list for my next project is an extended cab Dakota with that 500 ci wedge. The other is a full size Chevy or GMC extended cab with a Sallee 502/ 630hp Big Block. Whichever is most reasonable (time and money wise) to build.

Personally I think when it comes to rear ends, Ford is head and shoulders above the rest with their 9"....just my opinion.

The thing that is amazing about those things is how mild the cam specs are to make that kind of horsepower. Guess those heads are really good. I think there is an outfit that makes hemi heads to fit a chevy big block. Anybody ever use these or know of anyone who has.

yeah, these mopars have everything you could ask for....except a price tag...
Bence, I'm glad someone got that joke...I guess the C3 crowd is a little older than I thought...
