good deals on hemis?

joeboy said

Quite a few show up locally here, even fresh crates and rebuilds... I got mine for a steal on ebay. Shipping wasn't terrible if you have access to a place that can forklift or has a dock. Most of the "hemi parts dealers" are way overpriced in my book.

Good luck, I did spend a few months lookin before I found mine...

That's what they call the hemi mark up. I will say this. Being on the mailing list for some dealer pricing I will say most of the parts are not huge mark-up pieces. So the end user suffers because of lowered demand for parts. And parts suppliers suffer because if they keep prices high they won't get the volume. It's really give and take with all of this. I know there is maybe 10% mark-up on hard engine parts like stroker kits and that kind of stuff. Now heads are another ball game. That's all in the cnc work. You can make power on mildly worked factory heads but to get into performance heads your looking at $2000 for cnc ported factory castings. I would love to get something going to help guys out I just don't have the resources to buy in the minimum for most of these parts manufacturers. I asked a while ago if anyone would be interested and no one responded.
