So please sum up how was the whole Hemi install compared to a LSX in a older car?
or
Should my question be how was it dialing in a Hemi in a old Mopar compared to installing a LSX in a Chevy?

Same, better, worse, or just new and different and climbing on the learning curve?

Wow, I was more interested in the front suspension,
but I really do like that rear setup that you have on there!

Well with the chevy you have motor mounts and a crossmember, on this set up it took all new suspension to pull it off the right way .

You can use the factory Mopar suspension but there are a few more little things to address when doing that . I couldnt have it that way as I did not want torsion bars in it anymore.

The LS is much cheaper. On the Mopar you have to changethe PS pump since the factory is a much higher pressure. LS you can use stock .
Mopar electronics just plain suck, so the option if doing a factory computer was out for me. That leaves a big dollar wiring harness and stand alone computer. AEM engine management and a cable TB was about 4k compare to a similar set up with GM using a stock computer would have been about $1000.
The 5 speed set up was also much more at $5500 to get it in the car correctly. LS would have been much cheaper.

As far as the work its about the same and no big deal really, just the exspense caught me off guard.
I often joked that I should have put a LS engine in the DEMON.

I will say that I am VERY impressed how the stock 6.1 Engine runs with a stick and a good exhaust system. The car is light and you can really tell.
I plan to run it at RTTH on the drag strip to see how it does. I predict about 90 mph 1/8 runs. I think that would put it in the high 11's low 12's somewhere.

The car is like a go cart , precise handling . I am really in love. I just put in some 3 point seat belts and belts in the back for the kids. I plan to use this everyday rain or shine. What fun is it to have these cars and not drive them , right???

It probably will cost less to drive that my Diesel Dually.

The Demon was made by Dodge. Plymouth's version was the Duster.
