Not surprised, they are an "all for huge profit" organization. I didnt even know "MOPAR" still existed.

Must be why Indy wants 3650.00 for an R3...Indy has all the remaining R3's and none of them are siamesed.

Sad. Just gotta love the new "global economy".
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

All these nice heads finally hitting the market and blocks are about as hard to find as striped Unicorns. At 60 years old I have one keith black engine, one mega block, and one 59 degree R3 so I'm sitting ok but is been a hurdle even getting those. I would love to have a Ritter block and really lean on one but at my age spending the money and then addressing the issues is young mans work
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

900-1100 horsepower, under $20k. Make a call, give them a CC number and it's sitting in your shop a few days later.
A person has to really want to run a Chrysler product to deal with the issues.

Are there still the 340 resto blocks in the system EDIT I think I will look at the Ritter block post and see what all that takes to make it work... were they a siamese block... I know I will be going to a gen 3 soon but I still have a LOT of LA parts that I would like to use

The G3 hemi will follow closely.
The eyeties have no desire to build Chrysler. It is a wealth transfer.
Fiat has been flat broke more than once. Now they are a global player.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
