While I can see them dropping the HEMI out of a car like the Charger and replacing it with a high performance V-6, there is no way they could drop it out of the trucks, or a car like the Challenger. The Challenger should be low enough of production #'s that it doesn't matter (I better be able to get a 6.4 Challenger eventually damn it or I will be pi$$ed!!!).

Get your hemi's while you can! Here comes the rebirth of the Omni and K car!
More likely, here comes a hi-po Phoenix-derived V8 that generates Hemi-level power with better emissions and more efficiency. Performance isn't going away, guys, not this time around. And remember -- the Ram DEFINITELY isn't going away, and they've got to power it with something.
Hemi top end HO engines will still be used for SRT-ORT-truck based HD models. These are profitable sellers and customer simply don;t care about cost of fuel.
Challenger auction
To coincide with Petty Enterprises celebrating 50 years of racing at Daytona, Dodge will auction off a Dodge Challenger SRT8 on eBay beginning Feb. 12, it was announced Tuesday.
Dodge will build 6,400 2008 Challengers this year, and each one will be numbered. The 43rd car will be the one auctioned, and the proceeds will go to Kyle and Patty Petty’s Victory Junction Gang Camp. According to Dodge Brand marketing director Mike Accavitti, the car will be the only one painted B5 Blue, reminiscent of Richard Petty’s successful Dodge No. 43 car.
The winner will be able to get the car detailed as he or she wants. Accavitti said the No. 1 Challenger was auctioned this past weekend and brought more than $400,000.
