I wonder if he plans to get Chrysler's permission to cast their manifold? I'm sure Chrysler wouldn't mind a royalty check.
Nobody at Chrysler knows anything about that, or the 420 W9 manifold he makes, or the polysphere race heads that will be coming out of Austrailia... Nope, nobody at Mopar Performance ever reads any of this stuff or discusses it in meetings. It never happens. Never never never.
Seriously, all he has to do is cast the runners 1/32" longer than stock and make the carb pad 1/32" taller and presto, it ain't "the same" manifold anymore.
Not real difficult for him to get around.
My question is, can he do it forever? If somebody knows Kent, they should tell him to stop casting the logo and casting numbers immediately. He can make whatever parts he wants, but if the wrong people find out about the logo and so on, guaranteed big problems from 'the wrong people'.
He should cast his own logo into the parts, or none at all.
Hell, compare the XV motorsports intake to the old MP 5.7 crate engine intake. There's nothing new under the sun...
