im wondering about this kid , er not worred , just very very scared
his idea initally was great (in a FWD mopar matter of speach) but the execution and where it is so far didnt go anywhere near that
i wont rag on the kid , we all have dreams , we all have a first car , most of us never have the budget and a crapload of duct-tape , a few of us have done things like this
im just as guilty , i placed the ever popular autoparts special "Fear This" windsheild banner on my old turbo lebaron
dont ask how i found it , lets just say im still going thru my K car dervitive chrysler fettish , its just a phase
Rice? on a Dynasty?

Poor kid. I don't want to be around when he finds out the hard way that those V6s had weak bottom ends. Did I mention his transmission is going to turn into a box of neutrals too? If I HAD to build a fast Imperial, I would be looking to mod the hell out of a 2.2 or a 2.5 turbo or try and stuff a 440 in it and make it RWD. Dreams are nice though.

Well, I actually e-mailed nthis guy to see what he would say, here it is, it is very funny, so get you giggles in, red what i put first, then what the guy put at the top.
Some people just can't take a joke, can they?
Did it make you laugh? It was supposed to!
Humor is one of my favorite past times (just remeber,I'm the only one who is SANE- its everyone else whosecrazy).
Actually, this is only one of my cars. My real deal isa '67 Saab Monte Carlo (bet you've never been anywherenear one of those).
I actually started the car as a joke, but what seemedto catch my interest was how people reacted to thecar. Some people would actually think the car was hot**** (no joke, but, I must also add that 3.3 Dynasty'sget 17's stock- better then a few ricers). Otherswould laugh, others just wouldn't understand the joke.It became almost a sociology project of mine. Youwouldn't believe the different reactions to this car.Makes it the funnest thing in the world for me to runaround in (assuming I'm not headed to a car show orsuch, hehe).
Actually, I've proven that much of what the "rumors"of these "bad mopar v6s" are false. Week bottom end?So what. Maybe if you run a stock 3.3- but come on,what kind of an idiot would not modifiy the enginewhen modifing the car? Simple trick cures all of the3.3's short comings.... ever heard of the 3.5 Moparv6? The one in some of the Prowlers? It's based off ofthe 3.3 block and has all forged internals. Boring andstroking the 3.3 to 3.5 specs allow for using most ofthese forged parts, including the crank et al, andstrengthins the engine & increases displacement whilemaintaining the stock compression ratio. Shelby sawthe possibilities of this engine and actually had arace car using the Mopar 3.3 as a base ('course theinternals were different, but same **** no matter howyou dice it). As for the transmission- all the 3.x's gotA604/41te's. Those were/are the worset transmission line inMopar history- possibly auto history. But there areways around that too (ever heard of a transmission adaptorplate? Believe it or not they exist).
So the car won't get 10's like Donovan's(http://www.thedodgegarage.com or something like that) k-carwith the 2.x (believe he's using the 2.5 varriants).But who ever said cars should be judged solely ontheir 1/4 mile times? I could build one ugly arse carand get it to do +/-10's, and that's nothing special.Just as buying a civic and ordering the whole line ofricer products from some catalog isn't special. Take acar with the 3.3- one of the most unsupported enginesin Mopar history, and actually get it to work in aperformance application- now there's somethingspecial.
Besides, that was just the car when I first aquired itwhen I was having fun with it. After I realized whatI'd created, hahaha (<-evil laugh), I decided that I'dundo this creation and actually "make it work". Notthat hard to do either. Gut the car like anyone elserunning with one of the 2.2/2.5's, slap in an EatonM90 blower from a t-bird, add a second set of #19injectors (control them with an MS), do some minorengine work (what's the matter? Does no one know howto do their own machine work on their enginesanymore!?!?!), then bolt on a different transmission (5 spd)using a fabricated adaptor plate. Cheap, works, allgood and true.
As for all the **** piled on the car now, while, thegauges are all true, funtional pieces from pastprojects, "decals" except flames were freebies from Iforget where (had them a while). Bumper stickersexpress my political stances, and so on.
The flames were custom- as they are actual vynaldecals, not "stickers" or "magnetic decals" fromcatalogs or stores. They too were lying around in myjunk pile, so I threw them on for laughs.
But hey, at least it's fun (nothing is funner thenthis car- scares the ricers in the area, gets laughsfrom the other enthusists- all of which I know from myother past rides, like say the ol' 68 Charger...etc.). Budget? Hell, I'd spend more getting a 6 pack!
