Chrysler’s figured out how to build the 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter HEMI engines on the same line. Now they’re auctioning off the redundant 6.1-liter HEMI assembly line. What would you do with it?
Chrysler is auctioning off an entire 6.1-liter HEMI assembly line in Saltillo, Mexico. Yes, you read that right; the WHOLE assembly line which includes the conveyor; main bearing cap bolt; oil pump; front cover; oil pan bolt; rocker shaft; piston; pin and connecting rod assembly; and a cold test station.
Chrysler spokespeople tell us Chrysler’s manufacturing team at the Saltillo Engine Plant were looking at ways to be more efficient and productive. After some research, they determined they have the capability to produce the 5.7-liter engine and the 6.1-liter engine on the same assembly line. As a result, some of the equipment for the original 6.1-liter line was not needed and therefore is now in the process of being put up for auction. So, it’s all redundant equipment. Yeah, some of the coolest redundant equipment on Earth!
BUY AMERICAN YOU IMPORT DRIVING FAGGOT (well… american designed but cheaply assembled in mexico :lol:)
woah woah woah… we cant make 2 different v8’s on 1 assembly line, or even offer only 1 v8, FUCK THAT. we have to have 2 separate v8’s on 2 separate assembly lines… one with a bit larger of a bore, DUH. both located in mexico, obv!!! WANT TO ONE UP YOUR NEIGHBOR? GET THE 6.1 NANCY! AMERICA, FUCK YA!
I imagine when production was at its peak, when sales of the 300C/Ram/Charger etc. were booming, that they needed 2 assembly lines, so they simply split the 2 engines. Now that demand is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down, 1 line probably has the capacity to supply both so they just retooled it.
Jam feels the way about chrysler as i do about imports.I guess the trannies that blow up at 100k are better than the 4 honda trannies i have done at work in the last week with 70k on them,3 autos and 1 stick.:mamoru:
