Who's done it? I know where a very clean, straight Daytona body is and was thinking my 408 would make it a fun ride.

I had a Daytona once with the M/P rear wheel drive conversion (unprofessionally) done to it, I bought it as is with a 340 in it, the car was a hoot even though it had a real cobbled braking system that almost led to my demise.

I sold the body to RhinoDart, he can probably tell you more, I think he and his buddies screwed around with it for awhile, hopefully they fixed all the hillbilly engineering it came with when I bought it.

There used to be a member here who made a really nice RWD conversion kit.

I've been wanting to build another car for a while and my favorite 68-69 Barracudas are stupid expensive. I thought this may be a fun project. If it turned out well I may even sell my Dart.

Unfortunately, I am much better at acquiring projects than finishing them.

Besides, he said street car.

I have thought of doing this for the past couple years. Time is always against me.

Lots of labour involved in the conversion, but it would be worth it.

I have been hammering on my RWD Daytona now for 14 years, it never gets boring. I originally ran a 360 and 4 speed but now have a 5.7 hemi and 6 speed.
I can still hook you up with the conversion parts.

The Daytona isnt really any different than my P-Body
or even my Rampage... I do a full chassis on them
because I dont care for the few pieces of tubing they
sell in the kits and I wanted it stronger.. I have
a 416 in the Rampage with a 518 trans and a 9" rear end..
by the way I have a 92 Daytona that I gutted to build
up but I cant do it any more so thats for sale with
the ground effects

A Stratus R/T Coupe would be pretty cool with a new hemi and a 6-speed.

It's not like one would cost much more than a clean Daytona anyway

Damn- that's a good looking car! I've never paid much attention to them before.
