True, but the Mopar stuff is simply harder to come by. TRY buying Hemi parts or hardcore racing Mopar stuff, then try finding someone who can screw it all together properly. This car stuff is a hobby for me & while all engines suck, bang 'n blow, let's face it--each has their own quirks that seperate a good running engine from a great one. Mopar's, again my opinion, take a little more finesse to assemble & run with a Chevy (not a bad thing) but if you think you're gonna run your smallblock Mopar or Hemi like you run a SBC or BBC, you're crazy. You'll wind up with a bushel of broken parts. THAT'S what I'm talking about.
