Quote: Yep not much of a market.... the stock blocks, cranks, even rods in mopar sb & bb will handle 400 to 500hp just fine. Add good cranks, rods, with good machining and the sb and bb blocks can handle 600 to 800 hp for years and years!! That power level is fine for 90% of the mopar guys so why bother getting blocks out to that tiny 10% that really need the block.:
It is not all just about power level. Not all Mopar guys are cheap and penny foolish. I do not want to spend $1500-$2000 on machine work on a 40-year-old block that I have no history on. I will gladly spend the extra money on an aftermarket block even in my street builds.
