[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16511775, member: 171475"] There are several conversations going on, so I can understand how you are confused. 1. Ford's 7.3 is being marketed and sold as a F250 engine to rival GM's 6.0 and Ram's 6.4 Truck engines. You've linked both performance car engines just now. (That 6.4 even states not for use in Truck Applications). 2. I never claimed a new Hemi or LS was under $3k. I even listed the part numbers and prices for reference. Yes, I did state a 6.0 is "$3,000" cheaper, and you are right. That's wrong, it's $2,400. Thanks Snopes. 3. I did say a USED 5.7 Hemi can now be grabbed at a Pick-N-Pull for under $1,000. The significants of that is that is the price point that gave us 5.3 Swap Mania where everything from Miatas and Civics to Riding Lawnmowers, Mustangs and Jeeps have gotten the Chevy treatment. So despite having great factory heads, cam-in-block, compact, cheap, +300hp and using a classic bell housing, the Gen 3 Hemis have not really taken off as a popular swap engine. Coyote on the other hand had now been found in at just about every example, RX7s, Toyota GT86, Foxes and New Edges, Rangers, AC Cobras, etc. 4. 6.2 had a lot of hype and sounded great on paper. A few guys swapped them into Mustang and then nothing.... GM had that 8.1 Vortec but that went nowhere as everyone preferred the 6.0 So that's my only thing... I have nothing against the 7.3. I hope it explodes and we see millions of swaps till they make us want to vomit. Lets see some 4th Gen Camaro with turbo 7.3s. Maybe Ford will kill the Coyote and give us an aluminum block destroked 7.3 in the next Mustang and F150. (God Please). Maybe you'll buy me one for Xmas and I'll document the swap into "Satan's" Cobra for everyone's enjoyment, watching me suffer through the inevitable 4 year swap. [/QUOTE]
