Checking out parts for the new Hemis...are you kidding me with these prices??

i see the point here but lets not forget that if you plan on doing serius power,lets say 1000hp then you would probably start to feel that the modern hemi is a gift compared to an old style smallblock, just the design of the block and mainstructure seems to be very well thought out for stuff like this,they also have heads that move some air compared to most smallblocks, just have a good look at what you have to pay for any W series headed smallblock when its all said and done with a block that can actualy take the power for a while. and i dont realy care for the GM aluminum block i have read alot about people who just wont build a real mean LS motor with the stock aluminum block due to the fact that the iron blocks being much stronger
