so your saying evey post that bashes 440source stuff is about quality and not about being made overseas?

Didnt say that, I just said theres a big difference in a piece of sheet metal compared to an engine, I dont care where its made. Make a boo boo putting a 1/4 on.... no big deal. Make a boo-boo in the engine and it can wipe the whole works out. Quality is quality whether its made here, China, Japan, Mars or wherever.

If the tooling is perfected (and I assume you own it) why couldn't you get a small North American based foundry to pour them? I've always assumed that the tooling was the expensive part of the equation.

Dirt cheap labor is why companies choose to take stuff offshore. They don't do it for any other reason other than to fatten the profit margin.

Thanks Brandon for the response.
I was afraid , the way the thread was going, they we were going to keep going around the "block" with the original question, and not getting an answer until the thread was locked.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Moparts' Members!

That for sure but also EPA/DEQ isn't a factor in most countries as it is in the United States.

Is that a bad thing? The lack of regulation in China is turning some areas there into toxic wastelands. Their greed will end up costing big time if they don't turn things around over there.
