Mega BADASS small block.......

you can get a mopar 528 c.i. hemi (10.5:1 pump gas, complete from carb to oilpan) from ray barton's for 20k

i dont see how 25k for somethin else would be a bargain

That's not how I meant it. Sometimes it's necessary to read between the lines.

btw, ....I don't see $20K for a 528 as a "bargain", either.

When I purchased my NEW 1968 Hemi Roadrunner, the Hemi option was $800.00, and I purchased a machined 392 Hemi, set up for a 6/71 blower for $150.00 for everything except the blower, blower drive, and intake manifold. THOSE were BARGAINS.

I'm not a racer any longer, and $20K-25K for a street engine is just ridiculous in my humble opinion.
