Is there an issue with making aftermarket Mopar stuff trademark wise?
Reason I ask is on one of the GenIII Hemi threads someone implied that even if someone made an aftermarket Gen III block they may end up in court being sued under trademark law (not sure if that's he right term but u know what I mean)

You should be ashamed
No sb's avail in aftermarket form or even a vendor to make em
No W9's except for over priced RR
I am done with you guys after this W9 build...DONE !!!!
Apparently they are in talks with they same company that cast the viper engines.
You still have an option with the G3. Heads and blocks are plentiful.

Thats the difference between Mopar and GM. GM says "Hey lets support those guys who race and restore older GM products. It will probably keep them more loyal." Chrysler, with a lack of flowing history and complete disconnect from the pre-Iacocca Chrysler, says "Hey screw those guys who like those old cars, it has nothing to do with what we're selling now." And most GM people own GM daily drivers. I, along with many other Mopar people, feel very little connection to the modern company, as I don't feel that they are one in the same.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

Except for when some donkey in the marketing department suggests they blaspheme every retro name they can and stick it on anything ... and everything ... with 4 wheels and a tailpipe ...

order a block.... at least it will show demand, which is what it's all about. My P4876671AD was one of two left in warehouse. It was oh so tempting to buy the other one, but having $2400 just sitting on the garage floor.....couldn't do it. I watched it sit there for over a year, but last week the "1" went to "-1". That means either A: it showed inventory and it wasn't there so some poor guy got nothing
B: two people ordered and one got one and one got the "backorder" death sentence.
fwiw they show no future supply from vendor on the status, but "IF" there are some signs of demand.....well, it can't hurt. I'm putting another on order to at least help show demand.
I know that's how it works with business, gotta show demand to justify the cost of set-up and production runs, but there has to be a better way. We have orders that I'm sure are because an aircraft manufacturer wants us to see demand and to make a run of parts for them, and they have no problem sitting with unfilled orders.
but the average consumer like us, won't sit there with an unfilled backorder for months and months if not years while waiting on them to do a production run.
instead, we find what we want used, or go another route.
Gotta be a better way to show demand.
