The thought process here is that every conceivable vehicle on earth has already been LS swapped, so we need to start switching it up, and what better way to do that than to stuff a Gen III HEMI into a square body Chevrolet pickup that would have come with a small block Chevrolet most likely. After all, square body GM trucks are prime candidates for LS swaps and it seems like it is getting harder and harder to find them with a small or big block still in them at any car shows and events.

I happen to love LS engines, but I own both small block and big block powered rides as well. I’m what you call an equal opportunity GM power fanatic. But putting a HEMI into a squarebody? Hmmmmm. Is Derek going too far?

You know he’s doing this as much because it’s simple as he is because it will piss people off.

Everyone’s LS swapped everything at this point. A guys going to be different. Let’s throw a 2009 Gen III Hemi in this 1982 Chevrolet C10.
