Prices on Redeye long blocks

[Reillyrob]

Listed in the 2024 DC catalog is a Redeye long block for $12,999......You can buy a Redeye long block through any Mopar parts dealer for $5,100. Different part numbers but I assume the same long block?

I'd match up the specs and see how they compare. I'm sure but there must be a difference?

From what I read there are no differences with any of the specs

Difference is you need a vin to buy the one for 5200 bucks

Thats a hell of a markup for not having a VIN

Sounds like it needs more investigation. You do have a vin and does it match your car?

No, I was just browsing the new catalog and seen the $12,999 price tag on the same long block I just purchased in September for $5,200

Was it complete with the front covers, pan, blah blah etc? Strictly 100% ready to go minus the blower?

Cause that can make up the difference pretty quick.
