    Which would make you happier? Having great mileage, and saving some money... or the satisfaction of seeing that classic Hemi in there?

    Your own satisfation with the car is what should guide you.

    To me, this hobby is about having fun.... but it's your project

    Your exactly right. I love to drive the car, but hate the mileage it gets and before it was a pooch. It's pretty bad when the coolest looking thing you have is also the slowest. LOL If I do go the cummins route and down the road I don't like it, I can always put the Hemi in. The only thing that I will have to change will be the engine mount locations. We'll see.
