Just curious.......every time there is a block discussion, the $2-2500 price gets thrown around. What deems that as a fair prce for a block? 15 years ago, blocks were 2-2500 new. In these times, I don't see a privateer offering a nitche' market block for that cheap. And yes, in 2016, Mopars are a nitche' market. Also, in the overall cost of a stout engine build, a $1000-1500 more for an aftermarket engine block over the 2-2500 price is small potatoes.
I agree with this, and there is "data" to back it up. Whats the price range on the Arrow/ MP gen 3 blocks, the HHP block, an Indy or anything else? Everything is $4-5K to start and goes up with options.
If he has good core boxes it might save him a couple bucks in tooling, but it's still not going to be cheap to get a run of blocks Cast and to market.
And if they came to Market tomorrow for $1999, mopar guys are still going to cry that a Chevy Dart block is cheaper.
