No, no, a Hemi swap, including the Torqueflite 8HP70. An LS swap would just be too easy

I like the godzilla idea, but not the 10 speed. For some reason, the latest trend of those things seems stupid. I read an article written by an engineer stating that anything past 7 forward "gears" is a waste of time and money for an auto trans. May be an older article but it was in response to the Ford and GM joint venture for a 9 speed or something like that.

I've driven some of them and the rapid shifting is really annoying.

I frickin' hate those new auction websites and what they are doing to the used car market. I just don't see why it sold for that much. It's not fully stock and is not the 7.3 Yes, 12k miles is low but not THAT low. If it was a bone-stock one with delivery mileage yeah but $70k for that??!!

Also, nice Ex you get there!
