Not kidding about emailing our poll to Kuniskis if we can get enough votes. It seems almost certain that Stellantis forcing the Hurricane on new buyers has killed their sales, and by now they know it. (yes, price is a big factor too)
We already know that if they do bring the Hemi back it will be with mods, and maybe they can make etorque optional.
A few years back I had 3-4 email addresses for FCA top brass, so I'm pretty sure we can get this to them. Just need more votes!
A cam in block pushrod engine is yesterdays engine.
To keep a cam in block engine,the 6.4 would need a serious overhaul to still be a viable engine,they'd have to up it to about 426 cubes to compete with Fords 7.3 monster,there's no way they're going be able to compete against a 7.3 with only 392 cubes/It is, but if I was going heavy duty then I'd still prefer an old skool pushrod like Fords "new" 7.3 in the F2/350 Such a simple, reliable design. Well if they could harden the cams a little better but that's not the fault of the design. And that thing can put down serious power, it's probably capable of 550+ hp even in a heavy duty cycle truck like that, but they already overpower the ram and gm gas options so why bother lol.

The first thing they should do is relocate the VVT tunnel to above the cam,2nd would be to go to direct injection,and 3rd would be to redesign the heads to have a better quence area to utlilize the direct injection to it's full potential,and i don't think Stellentis has the brains to pull it off with-out f l u c k i n g it up by letting the bean counters be the final say in the design
