Not many people building sbc any more. Just about every dirt track car out there either has a SBC, or SBF in it. PLENTY of guys still building that platform.

My machine shop got so busy building motors for one team, he hardly had time to do any other work. The only reason he stopped building them is because they would come in with a broken motor and demand it repaired by the next weekend. They carried three spares everywhere they went. I have another good friend who builds SBC circle track track motors. He can't build them fast enough. They ran out of used 350 motors long ago.

The shop that worked on my SBF project only builds Windsor motors and currently has a backlog of over 6 months. The Dart block I used cost about the same as the one shown above, and Dart has a hard time keeping up with demand.

The tall deck r3 just sold on Facebook in four hours for 3400 and it's not machined! Ran the part number at work yesterday.... I could have bought that new at cost for $2400.... once upon a time.

[b][/b] And here is the reason they can be bought for less $$$$ . In the Mopar world the demands to bring down the price is not there and never will be unless people will actually start buying blocks. And I'm not talking about a few hundred or so it will take a large demand that is sustainable to get the price to drop. Most Mopar people are just ---- uhhh too frugal ---- to even create a demand

Every class and I mean damn near every class is going to the 604 crate. LS platform is the latest "355" dirt engine. Even the local late model classes run them and are in many cases faster since they can actually plant the HP they make and not over powering the tires allowed to run.

But the 604 crate is a regular old SBC, not an LS.

Could care less if it was FREE Mopar or no car for me............ Don't you shake that finger at me. LOL. I have way to much invested in MOPAR stock to switch now. 42 years and counting for me.
