Does anyone know what other teams may be building HEMIs (early or late model)?

[dan miller]

I've heard through the grapevine that one team started development on a fourth generation hemi, and abandoned the project.

We're making good progress on our early hemi entry (4.015" X 3.613"). Fired it on the test stand over the weekend. Sounded good, zero issues. Will be headed for John Becks Dyno (Pro Machine and Dyno, Chico, CA) next week. We've stabbed a bunch more camshaft (266 @ .050"), and lift (1.91 rockers). If anyone's interested in attending, shoot me an e-mail.

Danny,

Any information and/or updates on how you are getting along with this would be welcome !

What's the basic set-up you've got now ?

Just let us know how it comes along over the weeks.
