BINGO....theres a whole lot of truth in that concept.the only reason the predator goodies are that pricey is that nobody has a choice with that type of configuration.and you get what you pay for,the only spread port mopar head available.it doesnt cost any more to produce that head than any comparable gm head.but it costs you way more to buy it just for that reason alone.and maybe a little indy greed thrown in there for good measure.....




I agree as well with the exception of a B1 head top end, pistons, good rockers, pushrods and short block and other parts to finish a build, isn't that much cheaper than the predator deal. And there are a whole lot more B1's than Predators.
If I had it to do over, I would be buying the 5" 4.75X4.75 Sunset Racecraft 674. It's supposed to make 1350 with one carb and get 150-200 passes between rebuilds. $42,500 with aluminum block. Sounds like a deal to me.
I bought predator stuff though, so I'm going to see what I can get out of it.
