Barry White used Jon Barrett engines in most of the TLC "Wrecks to Riches"
buildups with the exception of the '69 Hemi Dart build and the '70 GTO build.
White had purchased an old Keith Black hemi block for the Dart but the block
turned out to be cracked and unrepairable, so he had to settle for a Mopar
crate hemi for the Dart. The GTO used a Butler Performance 461" Pontiac
setup. Barrett doesn't build Mopars or Pontiacs, but Barry White seems to
use Barrett's engines if he can supply the type appropirate for the build.
