They do lots of Mopar engines and I think the guy that owns it used to drag race a Duster back in the day! http://www.opelengineering.com/index.php

No direct experience but Nice Guy! Dale and Mike are both a class act... They're about 900 miles away from me and I'd still pay the extra freight costs to do business with them.

Also the Hughes people have built a couple of nice motors for guys I know. You may want to post the same question over in the race forum, they tend to do a lot of R&D and have good contacts. My buddy just has a small block done by the Shady Dell guy ( Dale? ) and it is WOW. Video Little Red Wagon Indy Nats,BurnoutContest
