When I purchasing a crate engine for a BBC, I was told by several vendors that all the Eagle, Scat and CAT parts are made offshore. The higher end parts made and sold by Lunati and Crower are made in the USA. I think that there are a lot of offshore parts in a lot of people's engines out there that are doing just fine including me.

Using a Big Block Chevy as an exmaple, the upgrade from a nodular iron crank to a 5140 forged crank is about $700. Add about another $300 for a 4340 forged crank. These seem like reasonable prices to me and I was only curious why this can not apply to FE Fords.
