Cheap, Hemi, Aluminum Block, low budget, all in the same sentence....LOL

If its a budget build, why not get a chrysler cast iron block? They typically go for $2900 or so, and be done with it....

PS..World was the one stating ARP main studs, and many found out they weren't. Maybe look into the cost of that if it ends up being the case as well...Line boring a Hemi is not cheap.
