Maybe time to unload a few spare blocks but then again once there gone your in that sinking boat of not being able to get an iron block. 1971 HEMI E BODY REGISTRY

I asked him were he got this information and it was from one person that runs a Car. I told him that it does not make sense. Chrysler gets so much advertising from that race in Magazines, You Tube, all Mopar sites. Does not make sense but Chrysler at one time would not build a V8 Car but finally woke up with the Challenger and Charger. I sure hope this is not true, Drag Racing has taken enough hits in the last ten years.

They are not wrench turners. And they are not fact gatherers and won’t do any intel on their own. 2) The top of the house is getting poor information from management below them, those mid level managers won’t rock the boat, too worried about their bonuses. Back in the day Direct Connection was run by people that knew the product and the audience and consequently the demand. They were closely related to the product engineers. Hoover, Maxwell, Gross, Schram, all talked to each other. The new top of the house is all new - they couldn’t find their way out of the building if there wasn’t a red four letter word over the doors. Sad.

If they could most would move their manufacturing to Mexico and pay the auto workers two dollars an hour just like GM has done. How can anyone making 2 dollars an hour afford to buy the products they produce. Likely there has never been any new produce being cast like these blocks. Some blocks were found and they have got rid of them via Jegs or who ever. Nothing new with Hemi stuff from Chrysler. Back in the late 70s Chrysler dumped all there hemi short blocks onto Mancini and they were all gone before the advertisement in the car mags hit the stands. 1971 HEMI E BODY REGISTRY

More support for funny car teams and have they have purchased the naming rights for two more national events. They also are expressing a lot of interest in Factory Stock Showdown but still very low Drag Pack car count compared to the Cobra Jet's and COPOs. FCA has "car guys" in high places. All that being said I don't know anything about this year's Hemi Challenge.

It would be interesting to hear the story behind how those eBay ads came to be, and the delivery date on the website got changed, if there were no blocks available. Twice. An unrelated Mopar Performance-ism....... I noticed than on Mancinis “shop by brand” list........ Mopar isn’t listed as one of them(other than Mopar Dress up items). 68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123 Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads
