[E-Body]

I went around and around with the same battle with myself with both of my Cuda's. In the end the power, reliability and cost outweighed the "Keep it Original" idea.

Unless the entire point of the project is to be bone stock I would not think twice about a built 360 or even a more powerful setup...

NOTE: If you buy the Mopar Crate 360 I would recommend a complete teardown/checkup first. I have heard of too many problems caused by some small dumb mistakes on their part. Overall it's a good setup, just needs some better QA I think.

Good luck!
