How can one say mopar guys are cheap? We have been paying double or more all my life. Where can you get a 600" 1400 hp mopar engine for double the $9500 big chief?

As for the hemi not getting real R&D in 40 years... we are just waiting for chevy to catch up, the biggest and baddest chevys are moving the valve closer and closer to a hemi arrangement, when they get there they will declare it the latest innovation and no better valve arrangement is possible and it was all their idea.
