If he is waiting for a "crate motor harness" and ECM, I wish him luck. We bought the last one out of the entire "nationwide" stock about three months ago. Getting "NEW" Crate motors was not a problem after Daimler-Chrysler went public with them in 2000. The problem now is, since Daimler-Chruysler went to the Gen. III motors there are no Gen. II motors left!
Waiting to build a model DV III as we speak
Instead of threatening D/C again for refusing to sell the first motor outright, we've decided to wait a little and see if they release it on their own.
Maybe a Cp. for a DV III model ?
DV... Lighter than a 460 w/ aluminum heads by over 150 lbs!
