tell me why

To the original poster.
Don't listen to the naysayers who have been giving you a hard time.
You have asked a very good question,that SHOULD be able to be discussed like adults.
It's BS like this that is turning this site into a skeleton of what it once was.
If you have nothing to add to why a mopar bb is more expensive to build than a Chevy bb,than you should move on, because your doing the website an injustice.

In reality it's not just a Mopar bb that is more expensive to build.
As we all know,it's the whole (Mopar) car that is more expensive to build. Wish I had the answer why that is,but I don't. It is what it is. We love Mopars,so that's why we do it.

The best and cheapest way to build these cars IMO is Craigslist,EBay,swap meets,websites,car clubs,junk yards,recycler,ect. Collect parts this way,and put them on the shelf. Use the aftermarket as a last effort,to pick up the slack. Money is king right now,so if you take your time,look around,there are great deals out there.
