Never seen this before, wtf.

The top engine is a 383. The other is not.View attachment 367625 View attachment 367624

Agree, but I look at it this way too. The top one is the man's 383. The second one is the kid's 383.

These two are the forgotten 383.

383 MEL Engine. I posted these because most younger people have probably never even seen or heard of them.

I clicked on that site and from what I can see, they are making swap kits for older GM vehicles. I don't see any kit's for Ford's and Mopar's, unless I missed something.

MuscleRods LS engine swaps

I just had to look because I couldn't believe they would actually be making kits that would fit C-bodies. Hell, most companies, AMD for instance, won't even make stuff most of us need so, I couldn't believe some company would make something only a handful of us would ever want. In this case I'm kind of glad because I wouldn't want to see large numbers of LS engines going into C-bodies.

I wouldn’t want to see any C-body with an LS. Ask any Chevy lover if they’d consider putting a gen 3 Hemi in a ‘64 Impala. You already know the answer. And forget about any other Mopar engine. They’d look at you like you have a third eye in the middle of your forehead. Yes, the LS is a good motor, I get it. But its getting to be like the sbc. They’re everywhere. I really like the 46/48 Plymouth coupes and it pains me when I see that someone has spent time, money, and effort on a well executed build on one and they stick an LS or a sbc in it. Nashes, Hudsons, Studes, you’ve seen them. ****, if I got hold of a nice 6 cylinder Dart, I’d keep the leaning tower of power before putting an LS in it.
