With Dave there's no telling.
He landed a ton of money in a very short period of time. The cash got to his head and he started throwing money everywhere.
REAL hippies eschew money.

I can see it now. The car is done and it's very nice, the owner is proud, and now we get the post. "Why does every one call my Imp a Thunderbird?"  Seriously though what's up with use a different car to hot rod. That's what hot rodding is take what you got and hop it up. Different used to be what it's about. I like the idea. Go all out and surprise the boulevard cruisers. I would think a built 360 with all the f body goodies mentioned above. 
I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

A new hemi and 518 would be the ticket.
I've been pondering what I'll get when the lease is up on the smart.
Building a wedge Imperial with that drivetrain is tempting.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

... but on Mopar style dot com, Dave has done a beautiful job with his J Imperial.
... Just go to his site and go to forums.
I used to hang around there I think 4-5 years ago but I thought 2 years ago that site had folded already. Site or forums are nowhere to be found at least.
Moparstyle.com-domain doesn't resolve to anything although it still seems visible under Google.
Did he block foreign countries from his server perhaps?
its still around.

I used to go there sometimes until my account got deleted after I didn't visit for a few months. I never bothered joining again.
I liked Dave's Imperial, he did a good job with it. I have no comment on anything else.

I had an 83 Cordoba for a while and built a nice 390stroker....... 3.73 gear 8 3/4 with 2600 stall L/U a-999......... Ran 13.12 with a crappy 60ft......
A/C worked and I put buckets in with a center console. Welded in sub-frame connectors and big meats on the back the car was very comfortable to drive. This car was a ton of fun on the street and beating up on 7 series beemers was easy! I say stroker gen 3 hemi with an A-518 would be awesome! TBF
