The blocks were by Cat.
The heads were actually Pontiac castings with MOPAR numbers on them. This had been the case since about 1996 when Eicke took over the MOPAR banner from Wayne County.
Allen raised cain with NHRA over the new HEMI when it first came out. At that time, only Nickens and Morgan could get HEMI parts from Chrysler. Allen wanted to be allowed to run the older configuration while they sorted out the new HEMI and NHRA said no to his request.
The truth be told, AJ got quite a few parts from Morgan while they were ramping up their HEMI program.



Mopar actually pulled the approval from the Cat/Eicke motors and left Allen and Roy swinging in the breeze. IIRC, Allen won a race and kinda made Nickens look bad.



Yeah and the Mopar/Eicke head at the time was the latest generation of the spread Pontiac head with Mopar stamped on it.
