Oh so clean.....tis a shame!


What happens when an idiot drives a car for few days after going through 4 ft of water...


We are a mopar family!

Not yet, I thought I had someone interested in a partial trade for my tranny but I think they wanted to trade straight up. Ill make my first gen mani work before I ship a tranny to cali in exchange for a stock manifold.sestormline29 wrote:very nice my friend any luck in finding a srt manifold???
either way the car is coming along nicely
The deal is we still owe the bank like 7 grand on it and we bought it less than 4 months ago. We were hopeing to get around 5500.00 for it and then we would pay the rest of the loan off with some of our savings. Just seems like a slightly better option immediatly to sell either the acr or the rt for profit and just pay off the stratus once tax time rolles around. Personally I want to keep both neons, but I cant be picky when there is always a neon to be had....even acr's.sestormline29 wrote:damn that sucks dude shit well how much are u selling the stratus for?
Yeah thats my current daily! I found it in the same condition motor wise as I found the acr. Both of them came from cregslist. The rt is almost flawless though which is why I want to keep it....having a family and all its just more practical. The rims are gunmetal 16x7 rota's that need new tires. I am going with 245 50's to fill the wheel well out a little better. Right now the tires make the wheels look too small for the car which I hate! Ill get more pics of both shortly.superdan wrote:that black one looks sick....what rims are those? moar pics of the black r/t pleasenewlitemotorist wrote:We are a mopar family!
Yes actually! I managed to pull the engine today. I had another project to complete so that is all I was able to do but it only took me about 2 hours to pull it leaving the tranny in. I forgot to take pics but I will be tearing down the magnum motor this week to investigate and because the head is pending sale so I will snap some pics then. I hope to have the 2.4 dropped in by the end of the week. Dont know if it will be running but it will be in.sestormline29 wrote:any progress home skillet
Havent found one yet....still thinking that an srt 4 intake is going to be the easiest route. I still have a lot to do but I know i need to figure this out asap.sestormline29 wrote:any luck on the intake manifold? j/w ... other than that damn dude car is looking great cant wait for this thing to be done, maybe you can come to the indy meet the FACELESS is having at his house in northern indiana on Halloween.
Yeah......its going to be left na. The whole point of me doing this is to show people a worthy N/A option over....say the magnum swap which could cost 600 bux or more. So far I have spent 300. And thats because I picked up a tranny as well! The 2.4 slipped right in, just have to get a few srt parts to tie it all together.MyNeonSaysHi wrote:Very nice man! Is it going to be 2.4 NA or turbo'd?
There are a few things that have required a little thought, but thats mostly because I want this to look stock when im done. Today I have concluded that with what i have available, it will definitely be easier to run a 1st gen intake mani due to feed neck locations and such. I already have a complete 1st gen intake so that is what is going to happen. I also finished up the power steering set up. The 1st gen dohc reservoir fit quite nicely and the 1st gen feed hose that leads from the reservoir to the pump fit like it was made for it....keep in mind that the second gen has a different motor mount setup but it still fit perfectly. I also had a chance to lay the wireing harness in and have everything that would plug in connected. Now I just need to get the intake ready to go in so I know where to extend the coolant plug and then all that will be left is to get a valve cover gasket kit.sestormline29 wrote:wow honestly this swap seems like eveything just falls into place... either way everything seems to be coming along well, cant wait for more pics/vid this weekend.
My initial goal is just some basic bolt ons. Prabably a lth, better intake manifold, and a 65mm 5.0 throttle body. With the afx-r and that stuff I would be happy if I was getting 160ish to the wheels. My long term goal is 200hp to the wheels with as much torque as possible to follow. I already have a deal going on for a fully ported cylinder head.....that I ported....which also has a full competition valve job which should help out nicely with my goals. Then I will look into some crower 3/4 cams or whatever will provide the highest torque to power ratio.neonpla wrote:I'm just glad we have someone doing something different! good job bro.. what power levels you shooting for?
