What Makes MoPar so Badda$$??

I grew up with my grandparents. My grandfather was a mechanic at Bettenhausen Dodge . Needless to say, we were a mopar family . I asked Pop, "why we were better than gm n ford folks? " He went on to explain that the other guys couldn't build a factory engine to survive 7500 rpm nor could they generate 350 ft/lbs of torque til they reached the high end and were about to grenade. He said the reason for the six packs was cuz Chrysler new you needed 2 barrel drivability around town and 6 for teaching lessons .
My Pop did a lot of side work in the garage. All the kids in town knew him. On weekends we were out in the driveway , timing , tweaking, rebuilding whatever anybody needed. He hated Chevys . Why should you have to pull a distributor to change an f'in manifold.
He really didn't want me wrenchin for a living. Oh well. I miss that old man. Back to the point. And it seems very consistent in this thread. The insane torque of a properly built build big block, the horsepower of a high revving 340 and the ability for each to survive.
I would love to find an affordable virgin 340. Yeah , like that'll happen.
