Blueprint short block

I paid about 7600 for my dressed 408 9 years ago. You can get a 3rd gen for a touch more now. Maybe 9-10 running. 3rd gen is taking the LA’s place.
Exactly! 9-10k for a basic running engine is a joke. A friggin $1,000 for an intake, $800 cams, ect. Only in the Mopar world do these prices seem reasonable. But the Mopar world seems content with half done cars that sit in garages for decades while pennies are pinched.
