A couple years ago I purchased a pretty nice 1970 Roadrunner (383 auto). Have always wanted to own a Mopar Hemi car (am getting older and if I don't do it now it's not going to happen) but an "original" one is and has always been way out my price range so the only way to do it would be to purchase a 383 car and hopefully be able to afford to either buy a Hemi crate motor or try to put one together. Well building one from scratch is really way beyond my expertise so the only option is either a complete crate motor or try to "piece" one together buy purchasing a new short block add add heads, rocker arm assemblies, dual intake & carbs, etc.....Want to have aluminum heads, Edelbrock has them now as well as the dual carb intake and carbs.
Rocker arm set/assemblies: Have only found one source, Indy Heads. Are there any others?
A new 426 Gen 2 Street Hemi crate motor is around $16,000 but that is with iron heads and I guess I could replace the heads but I am trying to see if I can put one together for a bit less money. Not looking to put together a race motor just a standard Gen 2 street Hemi. Anyway any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
