carbon fiber

Post by Gullwing »

has anyone made carbon fiber parts for a desoto hemi? How much weight do you think could be saved by making the valve covers, timing chain cover, oil pain and valley pan out of carbon fiber? Is there any market for these if someone (me) makes them?

Some guy in LV NV was making Cf parts a couple/few years ago, for Chryslers.

He told me he had lots of interest but no one would pay the prices he needed to get to make them. He made 1-2 sets and ended up selling them at no reserve on eBay, got 600-700 for them, then quit.
