I actually am sharing your sentiments on this. I have been Mopar faithful for a long time and all it has gotten me is broke. I am actually eyeing selling all of my Mopar stuff cheap enough to make it sell and whoopin up a small block Ford to put in something. Maybe a Falcon....or Maverick or even a Pinto. I had a 289 Pinto many years ago I built and it was so easy, I was left wondering why it was not a factory option. I have been comparing small block Ford prices to small block Mopar prices and Mopar has about a 2 to 1 expense rate over Ford. It's stupid. It's not about being faithful anymore. It's about staying in the automotive hobby.
