I think the OP exaggerates almost every one of his "facts". Maybe, you can spend $60k on a SS engine,but do you need to, of course not. I doubt there are any $5k stock heads except for maybe some of the really rare stuff. Plenty of inexpensive combo's out there, but it's not the good old days

I believe it cost me 2500-3000 in 1979 for a complete Ritter and Weber engine.Yes sadly I spend a couple dollars more now. Most of it for myself ends up in the short block. New crank and rods weren't something needed 50 years ago.Still don't spend 5 in the heads. Maybe Aluminum heads are costly. Have no clue. I'm not into that part of stock. An aluminum intake cost me enough to stay away. Every piece on the cars today are more. Buy a wheel.
I surely don't miss a ballast resistor burning out at the wrong time or putting a pushrod through a rocker arm in the burnout. Glad those days are gone. Paul Haszlauer C/SA 7019 |

Sarge bracket racing is a weekly program
Can race any where with any car. Class racing is not bracket racing .have to have a legal rear to race. Billy please continue to point out to Delusion Dan ..Pure Stock don’t count Thank god Nhra is a little picky with what a stocker usually the people bitching about the cost are the same people racing on the keyboard.. it’s cheaper
