    The Mighty motor that could...

    For what we are told there are no more, All of Chryslers inventory is gone and they don’t know if they will ever be available again.   :walkaway:

    However we still have a few left in stock so if you where ever thinking about getting one now would be the time.  :cheers:

    Thank you for the heads up, I knew the clock was ticking on these.  Makes wonder what else they are going to discontinue.? Once there are gone ,they are gone, Now is the time to buy

    I am getting tire of of how mopar runs their business. They promised this beast in November, P5156139 hemi (590 hp aluminum gen 3) and from what I hear never made even one. All will, of course be forgiving if they are releasing something better of course

    I am with you there, problem is I already changed everything over from big block to gen 3 hemi, and don't want to have to change back. I did find these though

    I talked to some guys yesterday that said if you buy that motor you better order a cam shaft because it has major problems with drive ability..playing hell to tune it..John's cuda has the first 426 engine Mopar made and it has the original cam and has no problems.

    No luck, I started calling/emailing some local engine builders (thinking maybe rebuilding one would be cheaper) and not even getting any responses.....oh we'll I will keep searching I guess
