I think this is a good thing!! ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Oh wait a minute..... it's BECAUSE he can't build competitive sprint motors anymore that he now HAS to build Hemis for something to do.... now I got it.

Quote: Quote: The word I heard was that Gary Stanton would be doing the 426 and 472s but that was not confirmed or anything.Todd No need for me to post since you guys already know everything But yes that's correct assuming everything goes the way MP appears to be planning it. The split from Cummins Reman happened awhile back, they are still shipping a few engines here and there but that's just about to come to an end. There's also one other performance engine build factility in the wings that a few board members know about. Someone in the northern midwest...Go ahead and take a guess, it won't be that hard to figure out....I have leaked enough information already From bitter past experience, I think Mopar has learned (the hard way)to not put all their eggs in one basket when it comes to that stuff. The product line is too wide/too many different crate motors, and there are too many fluctuations in incoming orders for one small facility to deal with. Spreading things out should help out quite a bit. And I don't know Gary Stanton well enough personally or professionally to defend him, but I can say he's been building the 6.1 based 6.4L/392 Hemi crate motor for Mopar for several months. There has not been a single issue with any of the engines that have shipped from Gary. None. Zero. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

I think Barton will do this right. Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451

I haven't gotten any orders yet from Barton but I'm not sure I'd sell him anything anyway. Last time I did business with him he wasn't really very prompt about paying his bill.

He said no one was picked???Interestingly, he said that the parts will not be supplied by Chrysler. You had to buy the blocks and heads and sell the completed motor back to Chrysler. Something about Chrysler not owning the cores???? Mark J
