Maybe an other head producer in the game.

Who badmouthed anybody. And yes, the Ritter blocks have had way more issues than most typical aftermarket blocks. If you aren’t aware of that, I won’t waste my breath telling you. Plenty of guys with horror stories with things they have run into, far from the norm.
And they are expensive. Fact. Probably 5% if that of Mopar small block racers buy stuff like that, even with few other options. So there is a niche for Mopar versions of blocks like I posted. 4 bolt mains, able to go out to 4.185, etc, etc
That 1500 dollar Chinese block has been used in 1500 horse applications, Chinese or not. There are zero options remotely like that for LA stuff


So you’ve machined and built several Dart blocks, some world Stuff and what? Several Ritters so you have something to compare it to, or are you repeating what you’ve heard?

You aren’t a machinist are you?
