Long time, no chat, Moparts! So...I've wound up in an interesting place or two in life and I'm looking for ideas to pursue. Without question, the engine of choice as of late is the Gen III Hemi. The 5.7L in my 2006 300C has been anvil-reliable, and I've driven 392 and Hellcats, so I know how wicked they can be. I'm looking at cars that nobody does swap stuff for. I know there are companies that do A-bodies, but I'm strange in that I wouldn't want to own one. I know they do B-body swaps, D-truck swaps, Dakota swaps. But I don't know...not enough scratching that itch just yet.

I'm looking for ideas for what you'd dump a late model Hemi into. I'd love to shed at least 700 lb of weight out of that battle tank of a 300C...what is a 13.16 car now would be a real treat in something even 3,500 pounds in weight. What would you do? Hemi-swap a ZJ Grand Cherokee for off-roading chops? FWD LeBaron or Daytona? Conquest or Mitsubishi-sourced Challenger for some trolling? Stealth? Really irritate a few nerves and find the cheapest Mustang shell possible?

I'm just looking for ideas and suggestions. What do you have?

There is a gentleman that lives on the outskirts of Carlisle who put a 5.7 in a infinty g35 2 door.

A Pacer would surely turn heads.

I'd love to have one in a 56 DeSoto Fireflite Convertible. One of my favorite '50s cars and a great tribute to a former Chrysler brand.
I'd love to have one in a 50s-60s Fargo pickup for largely the same reasons (former brand).

Plymouth Duster would be fun
70s Dodge pickup
B Van (any year)
A Van (any year)
late 80s Plymouth Gran Fury/Dodge Diplomat/Chrysler 5th Avenue, for the ultimate sleeper...:)
maybe a RWD conversion on a Plymouth Acclaim (just because I owned/drove a 91 Plymouth Acclaim for 8 years and absolutely loved that car).

Well, I have a 51 Plymouth Cambridge if you are looking for a huckleberry.

Nobody does Gen III swap stuff for that.

Mitsubishi Challenger I think is your best idea to tick off the Water Buffalo crowd.

Something from the 50's would certainly be cool and different.

I really like the '60-'62 A-body idea - still want one of those in 2-door poverty trim.
Probably the lightest Mopars ever made.
Keep it quiet and the hood closed, and troll... laugh2
Mom had a black '60 4-door, 170 & stick, that I drove a lot when I was 16-17.

Why just one? I'm thinking something like the Hurst Hairy Olds. Go ahead and use the 300.

I have no idea what transaxles you would use though.
