I was looking at their website the other day (contemplating their Hemi kit) and after April 1st their site was down. Thought it was maybe an April fools thing, but the site still appears down. Anyone know what's up?

If I recall correctly, Burnsville Off-road went out of business several years ago. From what I remember reading, there were no reliability issues with their Hemi conversions, but none of them would pass state inspections. I believe they now do business under the Dakota Customs name.

Yup, went out of business a while back. I would highly recommend giving MoTech a call.

And before Burnsville what were they? Sounds like a company that is really good since they change their name every couple years.

Never realized that. I wasn't too familiar with the company, but have to agree if they have to change their name every few years, probably not a reputable company. It honestly boggles my mind that if someone were to drop the coin on a V8 conversion, why they wouldn't just go with a reputable company like MoTec or AEV if they insist on a Hemi. The engine doesn't seem like something Id want to experiment with at a no name company like, who was that, Bruiser I believe. :crazy_eyes:
