Stellantis Brings The HEMI Back !!

[multimopes]

I've wondered about that and pondered as to why.
Maybe the buying public felt betrayed with the switch to EVs and just stepped away from Dodge as a result?

In my case, (and probably quite a few folks), it might be because one of them costs more than all the cars I ever bought added together!

Good Question Photon440

Will Ram use the Titan v8?

Some of the tooling discussion starts around post #10. There are claims the line was scrapped and turned over to Hurricane engine production.

I read your link, thanks.

I don't doubt that they might scrap the tooling, but how will they maintain warranty supplies? By law, they have to provide parts for the term of the warranty, which is usually five years. The law doesn't say that they have to make or stock the parts; proper aftermarket items are acceptable. But who makes aftermarket engine blocks? What about the 345 crate motor that Mopar sells? I had thought that all versions of the hemi were produced on the same line, so some tooling should still be in use.

As for the I6, I had also thought that it was built on the old Tigershark facility, since that 4 cyl. engine production shifted to the Dundee plant in Michigan.

Tim Kuniskis said just this month:

"Even if you said let’s do it, we can’t do it right away," said Kuniskis about shoehorning a HEMI in the engine compartment of the 1500. "I didn't say you can't do it... you can't do it right away." According to Kuniskis, the 2025 and newer 1500 features an electrical architecture that isn't compatible with the 5.7-liter HEMI.
