Return to Parts List Category : W2- Wedge World Tech HUG WEDGE WORLD TECH A20 TECH INFO ABOUT AVAILABILITY $0.00   WEDGE WORLD TECH From Hughes Engines  Dedicated to bringing news And truth to wonderful World of Mopar wedge engines   Issue #20 Why is it so hard to get parts for Mopars? 14-18 years ago, performance parts for engines such as Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs were common and easy to get. Nowadays, it is not so easy. Why? Manufacturers of these parts like to make large runs of each part to reduce the costs involved with supplies, set-up, and inventory. If the demand for those parts are not good enough to justify raw materials, set-up, and machining costs, the manufacturers don't make them. They can't afford to have them sitting on the shelf. Guess who is next in line? Answer: Mopar Wedge Engines! The writing is on the wall (or in empty parts shelves). We at Hughes Engines will do our best to keep the wedges working - but you must be patient. We have a hard time finding suppliers too! Maybe we should have gone with the Gen 3 Hemi instead of staying with the wedges - but I love the wedges!
