How many bracket builds are out there? Hell you go looking for info on these and it is tough to find.

If it wasn't for the few Mopar die hard companies out there, there wouldn't be much...And these are the future as everything else dries up.....

With everyone going to a GM trans in their Mopar, I can't image going to an LS would be too tough of a choice when Mopar parts become impossible to get.


The point is for most people the stock stuff does all of that, blocks readily available handle 1000 hp (there are plenty available if you need bigger HP), stock hydraulic lifter and rockers are fine to 7500 so who needs a cheap alternative (there are plenty of expensive ones), forged stroker kits start around $2500 or about the same as a SB kit and again there are more expensive options if you need it to handle more, eddelbrock makes a great EFI intake, ritter makes a great carb intake but they are expensive, I'll give you that one.


I am not saying they aren't any parts out there, but its still a lot more than a BB stroker. I want to build a couple of them in the next few years.
