I'm looking for a source for blown Hemi engines. I've got several kits that I'll eventually want blown Hemis in. I also don't really want to pay $25 plus shipping for them. I looked at what is offered on evilbay and it seems the majority of what's there are built engines that aren't necessarily the best looking. I want an unbuilt, unpainted motor. I can't seem to find a source for unbuilt motors at a reasonable cost. Any help appreciated.

I'm not aware of a resin company that sells a reasonably priced hemi but I could be wrong. If you can pick them up for cheap. Strip them down and there are lots of reasonable priced resin blowers and valve covers out there to finish them with. A little more work but hey it saves me money that I can spend on more kits. LOL Seriously half of what I buy are build ups or junk yards.

Thanks, guys. BNL is an option. Some of their stuff is kind of pricey, but then there are also a few that are reasonable enough.
Allen, I'm considering trying a built up to see how well (or poorly) I'm able to make it work for me.

Another option, and less costly probably, would be to find a blower, hat, and belt setup to fit the wedge and Hemi motors in the Lindberg '64 Dodge 330 kits.
If you happen to know where I can get that I'll consider it instead of a whole different motor.

OK, Paul. This may very well be the solution I need. I managed to run across a guy on eBay that had resin headers for the 426 motors, so I ordered multiple sets at a pretty good price. The price of one set of headers plus the price of a blower kit from BNL is going to be a little more than half the price of any of the complete motors from BNL.
And I've still got to make a phone call to another guy about complete Hemi motors. Yeah, this could work out really well.

I've been looking on eBay for old rail and funny car engines. I don't have a single one of those kits, but if I did I probably wouldn't want to take the motor out for another project.
