The motor is back from the machine shop.


Clutch assembly installed:


Still have a ways to go getting everything reassembled on the motor. Did get the tranny back together.

Looking great !!!

Thanks Troy.

I have been moving slow on it but it is coming together.




Bought some cheap headers and short pipes for the initial break-in but still have a ways to go before I put some fire to it.

By the way, I do keep it wrapped in plastic and the holes taped shut. Just took them off for the pictures.

Installed the engine today. I guess I should have washed the engine compartment first to get rid of the dust but I was anxious.





This is the first time I assembled the engine on the K-member and lowered the car over it. I will definitely do this again as it went quite smoothly for a one man operation and no damage to the car or motor.

Some more pictures:








I will need to take some of the right side and a few more with some better angles but I was in a hurry

Looking good.

I know its been a long, long time but I still have this car and thought I would post a new picture.

beautiful car!!!

body color wheels with poverty caps would be perfect on that car. Second to B5 blue I love dark green cars.

Is this car going to be at the Avondale Mopar cruise?

Still have a few more things to do before its show ready.

R/T looks great

Thanks, it still needs few things done to it. Correct exhaust tips, re-chrome rear bumper, and a couple of minor things.
