    In reality I don't think that it is that "Mopar" IS that much better. It's just that "I/we" want to be different. I have always gone against the norm. Shop your parts til you drive yourself crazy looking for that "Best deal"! I bought my new parts at cnc-motorsports.com when I built my engine in 2012. They were cheaper than anyone else at the time.

    Why would you buy that? 25k will buy you a hell of a lot more then 850hp.

    Lots of hemis in the junk yards now a days. Heads flow insane amount as is.
    I just need to decide on a trans for mine.
