After market aluminum heads are another problem, they are too big for stock, so to make them right it costs way to much. Hemi shootout guys should be allowed to run aluminum heads, everyone else can & it would greatly reduce their costs.
Its great to see the support seems like Mopar has by far the most support for sportsman racers, both new and old......R3 blocks should not only be affordable, but available....even the 360 dragpak R3 block falls into the not available catagory....If the foundries are going to get active again, might as well make some R3 Gen3 blocks too, more HP potential for the now older product dragpak and streetcar 5.7-6.4 crowd.
