Just some neat info. There's very little reman content used at this point. With private labeling our own parts, and machining them in house, it cost us less money to use new stuff than to try and recondition in most cases. Like I said before, much of the GM lineup even uses our new blocks. On some of the seasoned block offerings, its pretty much a block, caps....and thats about it. Crazy what all comes into play with volume. Ex: Takes us less time to machine and assemble one of our new aluminum heads with new parts, than messing with a old iron core. when you factor casting price for both new aluminum, vs used iron, and then factor labor in...its not the huge cost difference you'd think. Especially when it jamms up production from more profitable things!

Makes sense really. Sadly , I don't have the coin for a crate engine up front and have to build in stages
