Good luck Josh. Sounds like you have your work cutout for you.
I've used 2 of their 528 and a 485 Hemis and some other parts and was happy with those products. The few times I did call them, man you'd thought it was the end of the world that they had to actually pick up the phone. Those people sounded like they just hated life or something.

As a bystander, here's what I see -

440source (and others) get bashed for quality-related stuff. Most of the angst is toward the parts, less so toward the employees. This thread, though, really shows where many folks loathe the people as much as the parts. So unless those people stay away from teh phones and sales counter, that'll be a tough turnaround.

so all the people have to do is buy the parts from a indy dealer and get usa made parts and knowledgeable help.
I bought my stuff from Pete at best machine and never had a issue. Not to mention I am helping keep america people working by BUYING parts MADE HERE not just sold here.

Trying to change corporate culture is a major feat, especially if you don't get buy-in from the top to make things happen. Otherwise, it tends to become a frustrating & failed effort to do the right thing vs. the "that's how we've always done it in the past" mentality.

I run a lot of Indy stuff, that being said I buy it from a dealer which machines it as needed. Why deal direct from Indy if you knew from reading here how you would be treated. I bought a Dart block and Brodix heads for my brother in laws boat, they both needed machining also. Good luck on the new job Josh, I will give you a shot.

Good luck with the new job. Now the "what is Mopar missing" thread makes more sense.

Congrats Josh and I'm sure you will help the reputation of dealing direct with Indy.

Now I have an Indy block, heads, intake and even a BIG Indy sticker on my windshield so is there a sponorship coming my way

(next item is changing Indy bathtub intake to Indy tunnelram) Oh and I'll also take a large pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms please

With all that I have going on now(but what I have always wanted) I don't have time come on here much and after reading stuff like this can't understand why I miss it so much but I do.

If you want a Fast Mopar you either buy Indy or B1 and you guys are trying to put Indy the one that's makes & offers the most parts of the two out of business! At the present if you want to run T/D,T/S or any thing similar you either have to run a chevy or ford engine.That right there is enough to make any grown men cry,they make more & better not to mention Bigger parts for fords than Mopars!
If their is a good side to this,its the fact that you only have two to chose from.Unlike chevy everybody & their Brother makes parts for them their is 1,000 of choices,you buy the very latest & very best this week next week someone else has come out with something better.
to everyone!

Good luck Josh
I was lucky enough to never deal with them directly so my Indy head head purchase was one of my most satisfying additions ever
I really am disappointed that this has turned into another "Indy Bash" thread instead of a positive pat on the back for your new endeavor
I will continue to deal with Nick though because I wouldn't think about bolting on a set of heads before he puts his hands on them
Again good luck and nice meeting you a few times last summer

I'm glad to hear that. My job is to support distribution as much as anything.

Distributors are our biggest asset.
