Anyone know what happened to the 408 shortblock? It’s not on their site anymore..
Blue print engines
New things coming down the pipe. Correct. With LA cores drying up, and as we transition to a new roller magnum setup, we need every core we can get for long block production. There are plans to get back into a short block once the new long block is up and going.
Chebbie small blocks are drying up too. Damned circle trackers.
Time to start hording 5.2's I guess.That's a fact. Especially the good old 4 bolt valve cover motors. Whoda thunk it? Man that stuff used to be EVERYWHERE.

Short blocks are pretty tight, and the entire industry is kind of dancing around these new tax mandates, tariffs, and freight, but PM me when you're ready and i'll see what i can do! i do greatly appreciate you guys coming to me!Figured something of the sort, sounds good. Hey is there any kind of forum discount like you offered from pace?
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.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.
Ain’t that the truth. KimExactly! 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.
Unfortunately I think it would take a boxcar full of good cores to make it worth BP's time. The deal comes from volume.Hi Johnny Mac, r u looking for 360 cores? Just the block and caps or? Kim
