Plenty to be found in WISSOTA country, but still way outnumbered by Chevys. My Mopar has always been a good strong motor with multiple wins over the last couple years. Very happy with the performance and reliability of it.
Yes, I ran Mopars for several years. Never ran a small block, but ran a bunch of B and RB Mopars. The 383-400 was an engine that with nothing more than better than stock rod nuts(Dorman CR43N :) and a windage tray, would run all season at 8000 rpm. (and this were high mile 383's with the stock cast pistons still in place.) My RB motors were 426 and 440 wedge motors. I had to turn the RB motors to 7000 rpm to win in unlimited late model class. The stock rods did not like that kind of rpm, but using "440-6 pack" or hemi rods made them tough old screamers.
A good source of engines was junked Dodge highway patrol cars, the cop engines were 440 -6pack with a single 4 bbl in place of the 3X2 setup..
Amazing and gratifying to see how many small block mopars do well in sprint car racing also.
