Might as well they're putting LS's in these trucks, why not newer Hemi's?
For years the die hard Ford crowd poo-hoed the street rodders for putting small block Chevy engines in Ford street rods too. Didnt stop anyone. If Ford had come out with any amount near what the SBC's had for aftermarket hot rodding (at the time) I'm sure it would never have been an issue.
Having said all that, you wont get many thumbs up on that engine swap I'm thinking.
People dont like to tinker on hot rods anymore, either they cant or dont want to - hence the new stuff.
