And Hemi heads dump the exhaust down instead of out the sides like an LS. With stock manifolds the GEN3 HEMI is 26" wide; an LS is 22"(ish) without the exhaust manifolds (or headers)on. Add 1 3/4 or 2" Primaries, and your point may not be so valid for choosing a powerplant that will produce less power, turn off most enthusiasts, lower perceived value and take up more space. Cool car; just hate to see all that hard work go to waste.
Fortunately, the car isn't going to be for sale. I'm a "build it and drive it" type, and most folks won't know my secret with the hood closed. Crossbreeding doesn't bother me. Thank you for the notes on dimensions. Appreciate the outline, and if I were to change to another engine, it would be an aluminum block Gen3 hemi.
