I just picked up a solid 88 daytona turbo car, and after realizing the "ghetto work" the kid who had it did to the motor/turbo, i'm thinking i might just convert it to RWD and put the 360 i have into it.... Lets see some already done. Thanks-Andy

Yes. Back around '96 or so when Ritter & Weber were big into it if I remember right. It wasn't a lot of parts in the kit, but it had the startings for what you needed...Might even still have the MP catalogue with it in there.

Calling it a "kit" would be generous.

mrRacer360,
Do you have any more pics of your car? How much of the original body has been changed other than the back half job? thanks-Andy

The car still has the stock firewall, struts, stock k-frame redesigned of course, and stock lower control arms reversed on the front. My car also has a fabricated trans tunnel. I will try to post more pics later.

Yes they are, they were built for the car by a guy here in PA.

From the little I can see of them they look a lot like the headers I have for mine. I guess with the stock front clip on the car there is only so many places to put header tubes though.
