On top of everything else it really bugs me he didnt also spray the bumper and inner fender. E: oh haha he rolled it while it was stock, then lifted it, but now its "very solid" just a bit rough in the fit and finish lol. DogonCrook fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Sep 10, 2017 |

Mopar 318/360 have loads of aftermarket support, not sure what a big block or NuHemi swap would be like or how much pain you'd be in for trying to make one handle or sorting out 70s Chrysler build quality issues though.

Hot Rod magazine just did an article on getting something like 450hp out of a 360 for like 4k. That would make that car pretty fun with the right gearing.

The 360 is getting harder to find cheap. 318 was low on power but its a good cruiser with massive torque with some basic go fast bits. Its actually a bit of a problem because at 250hp you are starting to make north of 500lbft. A lot of people just run one gear or a super long rearend and cruise it. Doing the latter you can get 25mpg and still smoke your tires everytime you even think about touching the pedal. Also im not sure if there is a more reliable engine than a 318 and its dirt cheap.

Dagen H posted:https://bangshift.com/general-news/car-features/srt-8-mirada-how-a-2007-dodge-charger-srt-8-wound-up-underneath-a-1980s-dodge/ So what's up with people doing cool projects like this but (imho) missing the mark on the wheels? I get that it's really the Charger underneath there but man, those wheels should be the original ones on it. Oh well I'm always pointing out how getting rid of the stock (or even period-correct) wheels when people resto-mod cars seems so cliche and worse for aesthetics anyway so of course I'd complain about it here. Rad otherwise though!

I get that it's really the Charger underneath there but man, those wheels should be the original ones on it. I think just because it was effectively a well-executed body swap. Unless they made larger repro's of the original wheels, there is no way they'd fit over the brakes (or even have the same bolt pattern or offset?).

Could always do what this guy did, and have custom wheels made that matched the originals but were wider and larger diameter. http://www.transamflorida.com/516%2081%20trans%20am%20455.htm

2008 Jaguar XKR with 169k miles for $10,990 The low mileage ones seem to be around $23k to $27k, so you can save $13k for any needed repairs. I'm glad it's not a black interior, otherwise I'd be convincing myself that a 169k mile Jaguar is actually more reliable than a 50k mile one.
