NMNA - - $700. Is a SBDodge a difficult swap?
NMNA - - $700. Is a SBDodge a difficult swap?
I had a 4 door sedan of one of those about 15 years ago. I always thought that that the chassis looked like it was designed to be a RWD car that had a FWD drivetrain put in at the last minute. I had a dream of converting it to V8 RWD and having a very odd sleeper. Age has stolen that dream but I still think it would be cool....
Back in the early '90s, Mopar Performance used to sell a combination of kits to swap an La Small block into the Dodge Daytona for the SS/GT classes. (The Daytona was a G-Body car based on th K Platform) It included a modified K-member, rack, and knuckles, amongst other pieces. Much of the hardware was comprised of pieces from other production vehicles, so piecing one together isn't really too difficult. (The original kits are long gone, and don't believe any of th companies that made their own versions in the early 2000s are doing so anymore) The firewall, trans tunnel, and rear suspension would still have to be fabricated/modified by you, as these kits were originally designed for drag use only.
That's not to say that (many) street versions weren't churned out-
Yes, 3G Hemi, as well.
But honestly, my plan is just a PT/GT swap for my Town and Country. Less money, time, and fabrication.

Look for kit, and kit info under the name Direct Connection.

I know all about the kits and DC, as I lived through that era.
DC was gone by '87.
In reply to 914Driver :
The PT Criuser GT had the same basic 2.4 Turbo engine as the SRT-4 Neon, aside from manifolding. You could SRT-4 swap it as easily, but PT/GTs are cheaper and the engines usually aren't thrashed by Boy-Racers.
