I was kicking the idea around about using a Daytona chassis for a ladder bar small tire car.

Is this a possibility?
Where would a guy start?
I believe Mopar used to sell a kit to convert these to RWD...... What did this kit consist of?

By the popularity of the Fox body in small tire racing I figured the Daytona is similar in size and weight..... It's just the fwd that messes things up.

If you are planning on going out and actually doing some small tire races I would get a new plan. It would basically be considered a back half car which is a no go

A Mopar powered 64 Nova would make an impression.


Mopar to the bone!!!

That kit consisted of 3 tubes basically, front one
was part of a K-member, trans mount tube and I think
the third was the rear upper shock mount... that
kit is no longer available from MP.. but I heard
there was someone making his version... but in
that class I dont think you want to go that way

I have a friend with a Daytona, back half rails, the front suspension kit, and I think a matching axle. He wants to get rid of it. Pm me if interested.

I'm sure you would.. I did on my P-body.. the tunnel
in the G-body was for a exhaust pipe.. and it wasnt
very big.... by the way.. if any one is looking for
a 91 Daytona I have one for sale.. its gutted but
still on 4 wheels and has the ground effect stuff

There's 8 listed on R/J some of those could be bought rolling. Also one listed that needs repair to the front end pretty cheap. There is always a lot of Daytona's for sale.
