Are the Hemis getting harder to find? Have they stopped making them since the 730's are out? Just wondering since I picked up one the other day and it was only one I saw there. Was going to grab a few more if I saw them for down the road. Maybe they will have "value" later on...lol.
60363 getting hard to find?

I don't think that engine will be harder to get in the future.
I would not buy a Chinese engine to keep as an investment.

When they do become investment quality, call me I have some properties to sell you.

New 69730 vs Old 69730
Morning: I spent 4 hours yesterday with a friend who is Mgr; at a HF store, went thru 36 engines;The only sure way to tell the difference between a new series (big valve,big port, 730) is IF YOU look carefully at the box on the specs it says the MAX Rpm is 3800 not 3600 also,most boxes say EPA&CARB Friendly;From talking with him 68120s are gone;And HEMIS------well if you want one YOU better get it Now!!!!! This is in CT.now we have to wait and see what happens in the real world.

HF saturday in macon, georgia....a few 730's, no hemi's. manager said that he was told the hemi is gone for good. i have two of them. i didn't knwo about the RPM on the box tho....jsut wish that i could open the box and see if it has the rtc-6 head on it before i buy it. I was luck, i bought three two weeks ago (one hemi and two 730's) and got lucky, both 730's had the rtc-6 heads. tore them down yesterday and have to say...that head is awesome out of the box! i don't think that i'm going to have to modify the heads very much...jsut knocking the sharp edges off and smoothing the runners....

IF you can tell the difference between 3600 & 3800 you will get the RTC-6 Head
that's why i said that i didn't know about the rpm listing, but i asked my son to look at the boxes and he said that the external description had been covered over with the dang shipping labels.....so he couldn't see the listings on either side of the boxes........
but thanks for the info astro! very much apprecaited!!

The hemis were a supply chain filler. They are no longer being brought in through HF. I have been telling folks for a couple months now.
If you have a Hemi HF, you have a collectors item. Have fun...

At my HF in WNY 7 of 11 predators on the floor are 60363's. I saw a ship date of 2-20-14 on one of the hemi boxes.

Harbour freight and this segment of the US market is so big and the rest of the world SO small....
