[Chrysler Auctioning Off An Entire HEMI Assembly Line](http://jalopnik.com/5108069/chrysler-auctioning-off-an-entire-hemi-assembly-line) 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! ---

They had a whole assembly line they didn’t need? :picard: No wonder they’re against the ropes. ---

None of that stuff is made on an engine assembly line. Maybe the oil caps are put on. ---

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: ---
