Unreal intake manifold cost

Dan the man said

I decided to take my time and do a price comparison between a 318 mopar and a 302 Ford, I looked up the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, intake manifold, and the 318 was higher by $325.00. I did a even comparison of the 2. I'm not trying to argue about it but I knew that the 318 would be more money, true it's not a lot of different but still more expensive. I still prefer mopars over the others, but you have to admit that they are more money.

You need to slow down and read what I posted. I’ll do it one more time though I doubt you’ll bother to read it.

If you are going dumpster dive, swap meet and kick over rocks to buy your parts the Chrysler will be more expensive. Always has been.

When you start building something with other than OE parts the prices are the same.

If it’s so much cheaper to build a Ford, by all means build one. If 315 bucks crimps your budget find another hobby.

This isn’t hard, but it must be too hard for you because even the smallest bump in the road is a huge mountain for you. You’ve been given so much good advice across many threads and yet you still argue and pull another “yeah but” out of your hat and name 10 reasons why you can’t do something. Yet every day, parts are bought and sold, cars are built and people enjoy doing both.

It gets old Dan. Maybe set your project back another year and save up more cash. Or get a better understanding of what budget you really need to build something worth having.
