Reher Morrison can probably do most anything to an engine block. If they can't they would know someone who could.

I was told by a friend Reher Morrison will not touch a Mopar. I need to call them to find out myself.

Reher and Morrison will happily do it. The build engines for SS/AH I'm sure lifter bushings are a no brainer for them..

Thanks, No problem driving for quality work. Reher Morrison said they would need to check to see if they have the set up and would call me back.

Cannot imagine they don't have the jigs as they do AH stuff...

I'm thinking AH blocks get something non stock for lifter bore angles?

But if they have a CNC, which I assume they would, it should be no problem to get the right program ???


running up my post count some more .

No doubt that RM can do the work but I don't have any idea if they want to or how backed up they are or anything like that. But if RM wanted to convert a Hemi to be an OHC engine they could make it happen.
