Most Mopar guys are cheap. I’m cheap.

Whats funny is people will complain you can’t build anything because it’s too expensive, but talk about how great of a deal 20K crate engines available to other people are. Most of you jokers wouldn’t spend 20K anyway, even if you did wear bowties.

There is no “Mopar Tax.” There is a Chevy discount, that is all. Stop kidding yourselves.

Theres LOTS of cheap Chevy guys too (see the popularity of the small block Chevy for evidence), but there are more Chevy guys, and therefore more who aren’t cheap.

Thinking about this more, maybe the Trick Flow knock offs will help drive more affordable blocks, because if they work as good as the TF heads it will put more people in the range of block busting power (especially if they offer a MW version). Probably not, but maybe. I know pulling the caps on my 500 HP 440 scared me a bit when I saw some fretting on them, even with ARP main studs. But I have some TF 270s ready to install sometime soon.
