Why would you NOT build a B-1. The bare castings MIGHT cost you a bit more, depending on connections, but otherwise parts cost is a wash.


Rockers, headers and other stuff might be the issue Monte.
Unfortunately this ...like all of my builds will be on a budget. I think in my case sticking with the SR's might be the best bet.


The correct answer is usually at the intersection of your budget and how fast you want to go.
