No like I said in other comments I’m an engine builder so yea, I take my parts to work and machine them myself; I fabricate headers as well. Engines are all I do from exotic cars to pre war stuff at the shop and track cars, I have a decade of porting experience; we hold a contest every year to try and get 1hp per cube out of an engine NA with only the parts that came on it and we’ve done it with a 318. You don’t have to go that crazy to make good power with these. I never said that budget was totally possible for everyone but that’s my budget personally. Also I use junkyard heads, junkyard blocks usually, marketplace you can find an edelbrock 4 barrel with an intake for 75 bucks for small block mopars all day long. I make my own headers since I do it for customer cars
