Where is BBM manufactured?
If China or Korea, it could be expensive in relation to the others.

I understand it's cheaper. But it's made in Asia. Probably more profit in it than the Shelby.

If you're looking for a pond, I can do a bit better than that price.

Thanks, but I am good. Just amazed at the magnitude of the recent price increases.

Amazing. I paid about $5K for my CSX block back in 2007/2008.
Given current prices of parts and Kirkham rollers, I don't know if I would build the same car today.   |

I'd probably use the money as a down payment on one of those Lightweight E-type Jag replicas being produced by Jaguar.  |

A new Kirkham with a few options and a aluminum FE, has got to be $150 thousand.

This whole hobby has become ridiculously expensive. I just can't see the next generation pissing away six figures on these stupid cars. They're not even real. If you look at the prices for used CSX/KMS/ERA cars on Cobra Country it's absolutely nuts. |

The only price increase I see is the pond block, your Shelby block at that price was 8 years ago, seems like with the new blocks at a lower price instead of Shelby or pond, buy a BBM or Side Oiler...

The Shelby block was $5800 a couple of months ago, IIRC, based on their website. At that time, the Pond block was $4700.

So, I take it that you won't be "investing" any new money in a color change for your ERA? 
"They're not even real." Shhh. Hopefully Evan won't read this thread. |
