I have a 426 Hemi stock bore stock stroke a mopar crate engine and not to happy with its performance if I had my time back i would have had one built. But over the winter I plan to have it modified a better combo. Everyone I have talked to say the mopar crates are a S@#t engine. Im just wondering who you guys would have build yours? but in this combo. A 69 4 speed charger street strip but mostly strip everything else is done on the car hemi trans mcleod soft loc clutch dana 60 4.10 detroit locker and cal tracs mono leaf and slicks. the only street driving I do with the car is car shows. Im thinking of taking it to FHO. Thanks

Where abouts in Canada are you? I have an engine builder here in Lockport NY near me, and not far from Niagara Falls, that does a lot of Hemi's, and man, do they run...Last year I ran his '70 Hemi Charger, mostly street car, down the track and got yelled at for going too fast. At over 3900lbs, and with only a lap belt, I went 11.13 at +122mph with it. It went 7.0 in the 1/8th alone and is scary stock....Bent all 10 rear wheel studs on that launch, 1.58 60ft on drag radials...He lets me drive because I got it going from 12.0's to nearly 11.0's with a few minor changes....

Build it your self. I built my 572 Hemi, turned out great! I can take my time, check, recheck, and check it again. If something isnt quite right, I can have someone else look at, or ask someone who has more experience.

If you're out west, I recommend you talk to Allyn Lee of ARL Racing engines. Genuine Hemi expert, plus has built a large number of record holding Stocker motors. He can build you what you're after.

You won't go wrong with Tim at For Hemis Only. Give him a call 1-905-797-2459 and if you are not to far from his shop drop over and see him and look over his facilities.It would be best to call ahead. Super nice guy and an excellent engine builder.

There are alot of quality shops that can build you what you want. But I can only speak from experiance having had mine built by Tim at FHO and it is nothing short of happy! Tim stands behind his work 110% and that is something that is hard to find even from guys who are known to put out nice pieces. Give him a call you will not be sorry.

You can get burnt bad. I had my motor built and dynoed twice. Only 300 miles on the motor, and its still not right. Both by engine builders who are well known to this board.

Also thanks for all the help i recived from Hemi Fred, Bob Coomer, John Arruzza, and Mantons. Talk to some of the people on the phone. You wont hear much bad stories on here as you will by Phone conversation.
