What I meant by that Bob is that to a budget minded hot-rodder Bowtie stuff is considerably cheaper to go racing with than Mopar. Much more plentiful also! I was always able to get a used camshaft or lifters to make things go. When could afford new stuff there was no comparison due to simple economics and Summit was pretty much bowtie/oval specific too.
Now I am after real power and would like it to last as long as I will! From what I have experienced so far Mopar is a bit more durable once assembled but less forgiving of half-assed construction.
For example; I am building a 512 to go in my Dart. due to the quality of the components used I expect more power and longevity out of thiz motor than I would get from a BBC that would be built of lesser designed components.
I may not be explaining myself correctly but I hope you get my gist!
