What kind of speed equipment would you like to see made?
I work for a company that is casting speed equipment for the dodge and desoto hemi's and is looking into the chrysler as well. Your input will have a say in what gets produced. Thanks for the help.
O.K.,after reading the above reply,why not make the manifold with an interchangeable bolt on top top to accomodate various induction setups?Or a blank top top to let the user determine the end use?Would reduce tooling costs,and make basic manifold base more adaptable to end user.Raised deck maniflods are already close to production by another company.
intakes
I would like to see a four barrel intake for the low deck Dodge Hemis. Also a nice single plain four barrel intake for the Chrysler Hemis. What do you have now for the low deck Dodges?

not gonna happen, but...
I'd like to see a single 4bbl and a 3x 2bbl intake for the 331-354 Chrysler truck motor with a cast in thermostat housing and tall bumps to cover the water x-over ports. I posted this in another part of the forum and only got 1 reply.

I think you're on to something. All 3 early hemi engine families could use some decent exhaust manifolds. It wouldn't be hard to improve upon the factory design and still keep them streetable and affordable to produce. I'd still like to see some more selection for Desotos and Chrysler truck motors in the intake manifold dept.gary55 wrote:Not exactly "castings", but how about Chrysler Hemi headers with primary tubes that are smaller than 2"?
Naturally aspirated low-reving 331's and 354's would do well with 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" diameter tubes.
new castings ?!
While we are dreaming, a new front cover assembly would be nice. I have modified several LA covers for use on the Desoto and Chrysler but a new one would eliminate alot of machine work. I have also adapted the B-RB housing and like getting rid of the thermostat manifold, but again, alot of machine work. I think a small block style with a built-in t-stat would work well and allow use of all of the small block accessories....

That is nice, Jr Thompson has been doing them for 4 years now selling them for for 400 a set. Donovan started remaunfacturing the origionals also, for 450 a set.retro wrote:Patience will pay off on tis request. they are in the works for summer392heminut wrote:I would like to see a set of cast aluminum valve covers similar to the Donovan covers (without the breather holes or bosses) for a reasonable price.

That is why, with a limited market item, no company can afford to produce parts.392heminut wrote:I would like to see a set of cast aluminum valve covers similar to the Donovan covers (without the breather holes or bosses) for a reasonable price.
Maybe you can get some of the recent marchers to hammer out a few sets, and sell them for less. Call their new valve covers Donoman, like those knock off Rolox watches...
Re: new castings ?!
I'm with Wayfarer here. I'm in the process of adapting an LA cover to my 56 truck 354. The machining is turning out to be a major pain in the butt, but I want to run a mechanical fuel pump, which none of the aftermarket covers that I've seen, have.wayfarer wrote:While we are dreaming, a new front cover assembly would be nice.

I also like the idea of using a Mopar water pump instead of a Geriatric Motors piece
