Is this a real thing now? I just got this new product notification from Holley...

[folkenheath]

I asked them if it was a typo, they said no. Anyone know of someone that did this?

It's a long way from April fools, Holley.

Man, don’t see a lot of other motors swapped into chevys…

 

[Chickntrk]

Why? I mean an LS already bolts in, bolts to your trans and is a Chevy….seems like a major PITA to swap in a Hemi and for not much gain unless you get a hellcat engine

 

[tRustyK5]

Holley has been pushing the Mopar Hemi swap stuff the last year or so, but this seems dumb even if you're brand neutral.

 

[Greg Ducato]

Seems like a great way to lose a boatload of money on a build that would have no appeal to a Chevy guy or a Mopar guy, but maybe I'm old fashioned.

 

[folkenheath]

That's what I was thinking, I don't see the point as I don't think LS and LT are more expensive than the modern Hemi, and I don't think there is much benefit to it.

Only thing I can think of is just to be different, and using production parts isn't being different, ha ha. I want to build what I want, I don't care if anyone else likes it, or if its different or the same, I just want it. And I only want a Chevy engine in my Chevy.

And yeah, they have the hellcat engine, I'd rather have the LSA or LS9 comparatively speaking.

I totally get it in an older Mopar, makes a lot of sense and is a cool combo, but not a Chevy truck.

 

[Chickntrk]

As an owner of both chevys and dodges I have no interest in combining the two

 

[ktmoutfront]

I could not imagine anyone doing that combo. Someone must have though.

 

[tRustyK5]

Well, there is "Blasphemi"...but that is a way cooler Hemi in a way older Chevy.

That was old school hemi. So it is OK.

When I was kid, a friend of my dad, put Chrysler engines in everything. Had a 56 Ford put with a 413, every boat he had also. I never understood.
Oh well to each there own

 

[Chickntrk]

The old 331 hemis in a rat rod is cool, I will say that the RB big block engines (440, 383, 400) did have very stout bottom ends….I guess when you think Jeeps, everyone has swapped everything into them

 

[Blue85]

Probably somebody who works at Holley did the swap and is trying to recoup some R&D? (oops, rolled my Dodge, now what to do?) I mean, the listing is oddly specific. How do they know which headers are on the Hemi? How much different is the outlet compared to SBC/BBC/LS that they don't just offer some adapter or front-only piece?

 

[folkenheath]

I looked at the part number, they make the swap headers too. But I did think, that's a dual 3" exhaust, would be handy for many header back C10 setups I would think.
