I have not heard of Dan at Performance Only either. Now I feel sheltered. Hah!
Thanks, where is he located? I am near Tampa, Florida
Well you haven't heard of me either I don't think Performance Plus Cylinder Head and I build Chrysler engines as well. You can bring it to me but I'm in Southern, IL. Don't just take it to anyone go talk with them first and look at their shop and the way they present themself before jumping into anything. Hemi Haines may do some building and may do you a good job but I don't see any shop equipment on his web-site only a run in stand in the drive way. I believe Dan would be the guy to take your engine too.

MY bad! you are correct, Delray Beach,Fl. I was thinking of member challengergary for the vinyl stripes. he is WPB. about the same ride to delray or daytona.IMO after seeing your project,I understand why and how you feel about selecting the 'right engine builder' for your engine.

I do know Duster Dave from his Hemi Duster days, and I really like the custom work he is doing on his Jeep. I would like to avoid driving that far away if possible, but I'll keep Dan in mind if I can't find someone who knows about Eddie Haines. I talked to Eddie, and he uses a nearby machine shop, then assembles the engines at his house. His shop looks super clean, and he passes my test as far as Hemi knowledge goes. He will actually let me assist with the assembly part, which I would love to do...plus Daytona is an easy enough drive to accomplish that task in one day. I'm just not comfortable about Eddie since no one so far has hear of him, which seems odd to me given how many years he claims to be building Hemis. I definitely want to use a person who has experience and success in building Hemis. Ray Barton ripped off a friend of mine. Indy Cylinder, and John Arruzza both ripped me off in the past!
Anybody out the in Moparland know Eddie "Hemi" Haines in Daytona???!
Well did you ask him what shop he uses near by ? He could be hauling parts down to Dan.

I have no horse in this race, but Dan Dvorak has been building and racing Max Wedges for years and is in Florida, I'd look into that or maybe someone on the board has some experience - www.dvorakmachine.com
