Sounds like Hemi versus Poly is important to you but do not overlook what is probably most important to your Lady and that is the transmission. What does she prefer to drive? The Dodge engine you have pictured is equipped with a Powerflite two speed "full" automatic transmission and the New Yorkers both have Fluid-Matic Drive which in a few words is a semi-automatic transmission that utilizes both a clutch and torque converter. Kind of neat in it's own way since it has 4 forward speeds, but to fully utilize the clutch will have to be used.
