Didn't know they made 1gn R/T's in 4 doors.
I bet it scoots pretty well with that 2.4 in it.

Yeah it's actually really fast with the mods it has

Looks good, but:

It looks like it has been run a while without any antifreeze in it. All that rust can't be doing the heater core and radiator any favors. If you haven't given it a good system flush, you might want to consider it, and some antifreeze to inhibit rust/corrosion.

I'll take a very small loss of thermal efficiency over damage from corrosion. Eventually, it will over heat anyways from all the sediment and corrosion in the system.

2.4 is fun i used to drive mine like a diesel shifting at 2200 with no power issues. Nice not to have to rev to 3500-4k for any power

with that much corrosion it might have a slight leak on the water neck too. might want to look into that.

Maybe I'm new 2.4s, but why is there literally no timing cover?

Seems safe and responsible.
