I know a guy who's friend's brother once met a guy that said his second cousin had a room mate who's father has a whole warehouse full of 426 Hemis in crates and is selling them for $500....

But when you ask, they will never give you a phone number so you can buy one....

This made me laugh...and made me think of HEMI John. Rumor was he worked in the parts department of the Chrysler dealer on 46 in Parsippany. Heard all kinds of rumors about him. Ends up my Dad knew him from putting gutters on his place. The rumors ended up being true. Damn near anything that showed up at the dealer, HEMI related, ended up in his truck. Customer would order something and he would take it when it showed up. The dealer would then order a replacement. Had all kinds of stuff in his garage when I met him. Dozen or so still in the crate motors, factory headers...all sorts of stuff.
Guy I used to work with claimed to have an original Thunderbolt. I questioned him, he had me meet him at his place. Sure enough enough, he not only had a T-bolt but he also had a 66 GT350. Bastard also had 4 complete 427 SOHC sitting in shipping crates. He was retiring from the USPS and getting ready to move back to the family farm in Nebraska or someplace...
