It has to do with re inserting the manufacturing into the supply line. I have seen no significant price difference between Chinese stuff and American stuff. If there is any savings, they aren't passing it on to us.

I was thinking cast steel crank, forged I-beam rods, forged pistons with the high compression. We'll see what he thinks, his name and reputation follows him well.
Scat 9000 crank
Scat 4340 I beam
Probe, Mahle piston, higher end Diamond

Glad I got you hooked up with the best ! Rick knows his stuff....Done, just pm me with quotes when you can and we'll work out a timeframe, thnx Rick
That's slowly changing. Even now, you're able to find more and more stuff made in the U.S. than you could just couple of years ago. It's starting to shift again. As the standard of living increases in China, it becomes more expensive to make things there. Pretty soon, the offset will tilt and won't be nearly as cost effective to ship raw materials over and have finished products shipped back.

Do you have a computer program to toss CC's/quench/gasket numbers around??
SCAT cast steel crankshaft, Probe 4032 Forged Pistons, Probe 5140 Forged Steel Rods, moly rings, Clevite 77 bearings, Probe billet steel flywheel and ProRace dampener.If it is a scat part number, it's the same no matter who you get it from. There are plenty of reputable dealers on eBay. Also, if you got a whole kit for $1200 with flywheel and balancer, I hate to tell you, you got a box full of Chinese crap. My crankshaft alone was almost $800.
Kurt
Yeah, I couldn't go for that. Damn Chinese iron, who knows what is in it. Probably made of an old clothes drier they melted down with the lint still in it.
Kurt
Kurt, you'd be surprised how much "Chinese Crap" you buy everyday with a smile without ever even knowing it....and that includes parts found on your car. You make is sounds as though "Made in America" actually means something anymore?
Of course....

I know dumb question
No rush or mandatory time frame,
my DD runs great right now already.
I'm nervous with the 347 rod/ oil control issue
Feel free to post pics #'s of any combos, cause this recreation of a magazine combo will be done right down to ported iron heads/slightly smaller valves but only EFI.
Which no one will probably ever try to do again and create an iron head torque moster, I just already have the heads that are close, so here goes
****I just felt all the Sighs from using iron heads
ROTFL......as a person who's owned various "American Made" cars and trucks throughout the late-70's, 80's and 90's, you should know better than to make a statement like that. TheActually, it does. Particularly when talking about car parts, it tells me at least, that the thing is more often than not... Over built.
ROTFL......as a person who's owned various "American Made" cars and trucks throughout the late-70's, 80's and 90's, you should know better than to make a statement like that. The ****ty build quality of the big-3 is what let the Japanese manufactures get a foothold on the market in the first place.
Made in American hasn't meant squat to me since the 60's. To me...."Made in America" usually means overpriced labour and manufacturing cost, more than overbuilt quality.
