You know there is a better way of just getting a V-6 3.7 liter from a local
salvage rear-ender.

Hmmmm...aluminum heads, lightened pistons/crank/rods, and picking the
right parts...it's rather easy to get a V8 within the V6 weight range.

Yes, but you're forgetting the weight factor. A V6 will always weigh
less than a V8. In my gen III that might just make a difference if it's
a SC'd 4.9 stroker V6..... Why gain all that weight from the 360 if I
can put up similar numbers with a 6cyl? I think the only thing that may
deter from the V6 is that the V8 will always sound better. Nothin
sounds like healthy Mopar muscle. This line of thinking requires some
serious studying.....I haven't even gotten my bonus check and already
it's burning a hole in my wallet. damn.
