I believe if they made a block, at the same price as a Chevy, they would sell every one they make. They don't sell those blocks for less than manufacturing cost, they just don't make much profit on each hoping to sell a lot of blocks. Mopar blocks should cost the same to cast and machine,give or take a little, sell these the same way. Most of us can cough up $2000 easier the $5000 for one, Hec we buy $2000 "heads" and other cheapy things,
