How many of you would buy an aftermarket block in low deck height. Aluminum, cast iron, up to 4.500 bore size.

Chevrolet Performance offers an aluminum 6.2 LS block for like 2700 bucks through Summit. The only reason in the world someone cannot offer one for a Mopar at that price point is greed.

I've gotta disagree with that , a little. Development and casting and machining costs should be about the same, granted, but the market, potential sales, will determine if you make money doing a block (or really any parts). If I can sell a thousand LS blocks, and hundred Mopar blocks, the mopars HAVE to cost more. If I can only sell ten, they aren't gonna happen at all.
I don't like it, I wish it wasn't true..... but it is.

Almost forgot. A 6.2 LS aluminum block is a completely stock, everyday production piece, they have done tens of thousands of them, if not 100s of thousands. I have one in my stock camaro. If you could sell tens of thousands of Mopar aftermarket aluminum blocks, they'd be $2700 too.
