Thread: big block de anyone?

watcha mean?

The market for these cars is just about gone, at this point even part-outs are not fetching what they used to.

So if you are dumping money into parts and all of a sudden have no need for them you may find yourself throwing parts in the garbage.

I dont want to spend 10k on an engine that I am going to build just to sell. I already have a fully built NA engine that I will be lucky to break even on and then I have this engine. I stroker crank is like $1600 or so alone and Im already into this block for alot of trick machining, customs pistons, plus the sleeves/work.

People never like to pay for doing things right LOL. They just want all of the parts put together as cheap as posible and dont believe in paying for proper machining and prep work...

you're so right. almost anytime ppl dump $$ into 1 of our cars for performance mods it's a losing proposition. but it's that way with most, if not all, cars. a reasonable person should not expect to get much, if any, return on investment.
when i buy go fast parts, i consider the $$ GONE, but for a REALLY GOOD cause.
