I think you pick those engines up used for around 5-6 grand. Could be a good way to go for the power they're making. Definitely have good parts in them.

But don't break it. Things like camshafts cost 2 arms and a leg + first born. Pistons and connecting rods are slightly less, but still costly. We can't even discuss the cost of replacing a head in you need one a few years from now. The Dodge major component parts are already getting scarce.
They are still 150-200HP short of a well build BBC Pro Stock engine. But then so is a legal SS engine, and they own the PS class right now. Nobody is building full tilt Pro Stock engines. Most are just warmed over 496 strokers.

Very true. Ran into the same deal with the Buick stage 2 v6's. some parts were cheap because they were SBC stuff, other parts were god awful expensive.
