I agree! Not to long ago a fellow DML'er Eric Kurtz put a used
360 in his'95 5 speed Dakota from a '93 Dodge B van. I know he
put at least 2 brand new Lightings in their place by beating
them soundly. The only ENGINE mods that stick in my mind was
the intake manifold and TB was ported, headers??. Comparing
the cost of *his mods* to the cost of the lighting would be a
major insult to any NEW thunderchicken owner.
