I feel your pain, but a Hemi was built for Chrysler well before the merge, so its still an outsider. If your gonna be True AMC diehard, then be that. As for the 6 idea, those 6's make great power with them turbo,s, checked that route out myself, but its just like building a 360-401 up, if your not full of cash or willing to build for a couple years while your sits, then you use what youve already got. Anyone with a 390 or 401 wants to part with one cheap, I promise ya, I'll build it, drive it, praise it and follow the AMC path, but those are the only 2 Id want. ANY ONE WILLING TO HELP? Lets see how serious we want to convert into the AMC way. Let me know.
