Wasn't there a model that had the battery hidden behind an inner fender?




My 2008 Avenger and her JS-body siblings are that way...

As said...big blocks were awesome! 4 bolt water pump, external oil pump, dry intake, front distributor, all great features!! All water pumps should be this way!! Whomever put the water pump behind a timing cover should be shot...

Engine interchangeability is great amongst Mopars, probably something that we take for granted, but remember when GM built 4 completely different V8 engines of the same size? At one time, Buick, Olds, Chevy and Pontiac all had 350 and 400 cubic inch engines, each of which were completely different from the others. At least a 383 Plymouth engine is the same as a Dodge 383, etc. Ford had at least 3 different 351s, a 352, a couple different 302s, etc. Even made 427, 428 and 429 engines all based off of different blocks!!!
