Ritter 59 degree iron block

Because it's a pain in the *** to change everything over to the 48* stuff and we are talking about Chrysler guys who squeal about spending $1000.00 for rocker arms and think that what came on a 1967 440 should be able to run mid 7's in a 4000 pound car with a 2.73 gear, a 1850 RPM converter all while getting 48 MPG just like the ford and Chevy guys do.

I hope you get my sarcasm but I'm pretty close to the bone on this.

I get it...and you're spot on. It's a bit more expensive, especially if you're going all out for big hp, but it not any different than building anything else of this caliber. My R3 was a tall deck with the babbit bearing setup. Comp had cam cores on the shelf. No big deal. At 2K, I gave the block away. Can't wait to get it on the dyno.
