Quote: IMO we as Mopar guys are our own worst enemy. How many times have we read "it doesn't look like a (insert head)" so I won't buy it. How can we evolve like Ford and Chevy guys if we expect our parts to look like 60's engineered factory parts? Yes, Mopar guys are the tightest ($$$) of any enthusiast I've ever met. We have held on too long, it's time to move on.

This is also a concern of the block manufactures we spoke to.We at BGR have been trying to find a source for reasonable production style blocks.We already have sources for aluminium aftermarket style blocks at Indy and others.When a iron production and iron aftermarket block nears or exceeds the price of an aluminium Indy block,it's time to move on.Having spoke with a manufacture recently,he said" quote"After reading what was posted on Moparts,hell these people can't agree on anything and all have their own opinions and agendas.Ask 100 people on the site to agree on a block style and ask each to invest $100,000 and we can start tommarrow.When the dust settles you see like a 100 ballless cows or what is called steers walking in line to the slaughter house heads hanging down,tails swinging and the mournful bellowing,"Mooooveeing along". Please don't take offence to this post,we have been trying to support this effort now and before but we just had to share the comment both for the serious efforts and the humorous content as relayed.We have talked to others but there has been no promising results reflected back.
