Back in the late 70's, heard a rumor, that Chrysler was working on a turbo slant. I spoke to Larry Shepard, and another engineer about it. At that time I was told, Chrysler had shelved the project, due to reliability issues. I was looking for some input for my turbo project. None was forthcoming. Three years later, Larry contacted me, thru a Mopar speed shop in my area, asking for some info on my car. None was forthcoming. One hand washes the other.

They needed to get their info from you guys. Then they wouldn't have needed to bring back the "Hemi".
