Yeah, I thought that we could find one cheaper, but I have small blocks, not many big blocks. I don't know the current big block market right now...
But it is guaranteed, if you buy a cracked block from craigslist, you get stuck with it...
Also keep in mind that he's a small time, small town, Mopar only salvage yard... How many walk-ins do you think he gets on a daily basis? He has overhead and bills to pay, he needs to make some money to stay open. It is a niche market....
Even Mancini Racing who's been Mopar only for years/decades had to start carrying Ford & Chevy parts to stay alive in the down turn...
