It's just reality - they're worth $3k if you actually need them.
Which is why I think there's a market for new Iron replacements. But the guys making them say they're isn't so there's only highly desirable, expensive originals.
I've given up looking for now and am pursuing a set of build D's. I can't spend 3K on west coast cores, pay shipping and hope, they'd need a certification from a shop that they're not butchered up or cracked, so far I haven't found anyone willing to do that. It's buyer beware. If I find some within driving distance I'll check them out.

I'll end with this though; so long as replacement parts like blocks and heads become unavailable or unaffordable, the classic Pontiac engine will keep getting replaced with chevy's or LS's. I have no issue using aftermarket parts, but not everything needs to be aluminum or race ready. I like our options but there's not enough of them. Most everything is race.
