An affordable Mopar build, I'd go with an Eagle Hemi though (09+ 5.7) - 650whp

Glad the owner kept the Magnum to stay true to the storyline. grin


I'm with Helmuth Hübener, and no soup is being served today.

You gotta ask yourself 1 question, do I feel fast?

Just great! The 5.9 swap into my 83 D150 has already snowballed into cleaning up the frame and whatnot ( I was outta cash to keep buying parts), and I think this is the right time to do the cab swap it desperately needs, and then I sit down on a Sunday afternoon and stumble across this post! Decisions, decisions... work


Nothing to see here. Carry on.

^^^ Haha, tell me about it...
My 1st Road Runner restoration started with "I'm just gonna pull the rear seat back and get that fixed"...
Within 2 weeks, I'd blown the entire car apart, had the shell in one buddy's shop, drivetrain stuff at several shops, yadda yadda.

Love the idea of the plain brown wrapper that annihilates whatever's in the other lane.

High 12 second passes?! Wow. Very impressive build and I love the stock sleeper look.

Funny... I remember derision and laughter back when I had the 360/4-speed Diplomat.

Not taking anything away from this car though. Got to see it up-close at MoParty. The party trick with the stock radio and horn button is killer!
