OK...why would you say 20K for a Hemi?
I see them in magazine ads for $13-14K all the time.
Are these somehow inferior? And if so, why?
Are iron heads lesser than aluminum?
The price difference lies with the attention to assembly, machining, parts quality and HP target.
If you just want a 4 bbl. Hemi to cruise to the drive in and impress your friends then by all means get a cheap crate version. If you want a quality built piece that makes great power and stays together when you beat on it, then look into Koffels, FHO, Best Machine, CRE. If you choose this route, don't be surprised by a $20K++ price tag. Remember the old adage, "Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."
