cost of parts have not went up much at all .think of it this way what is your time worth ? or the guy at the machine shop? i spent as well as others many hours of time reworking stock parts and old TRW pistons . stuff you can buy now needs less then 1/2 the work and 2 times stronger and a way better part for size and metal alloys not to long ago about 25 years you could never buy 4340 cranks and stroke sizes you can fine now. it would be custom billet crank . or pistons or rods . heads and cams have come along way now. were 30 years ago you could not buy a head that flows as good as some of the stock stuff no matter how deep of pockets you had
