expense as mentioned is a problem....try buying Hydraulic roller lifters for an example...Mopar stuff is almost double...maybe because of the bigger lifter bore...I don't know..

stock blocks suck!!!...ok, they're skirted but it doesn't extend to the mains...so, more expense, girdles and billet main caps, more machining..

I just got done have an RB block fully machined... another grand that I didn't want to spend...I understand the costs involved with machining no matter what manufacturer it is...it goes with the territory..

cranks are probably all the same in pricing as other makes....cams too...rockers are a real joy to the wallet but that's Parr...

yes I would like to see different configurations in head design also...forget about pricey predators....I mean those things are priced more than my whole engine!! and Indy isn't that cheap..

I can build a small block Chevy with big cubes for a whole lot less than a MOPAR...but ya know what, nothing sounds nastier than a big WEDGE MOPAR!!
