He said they can do them, but do not offer them as a standard product, as they do for the Pontiac Grand Am & Cavalier/Sunfire platforms. Those can be gotten as easily as a phone call.

I think we have an idea, but afraid I'm gonna put the front wheels too far in or out.

It would just seem goofy putting big meats out back when the fronts do the spinning. I think its easily the best looking thing Mopar has made since 1974, except the new Challenger now. Looked into V8 conversions and thats just WAY more work than i'm willing to do right now. Funny this thread comes up now though... I'm in the market for a cheapo 4cyl stick car to commute a decent distance. I never even thought ov these cars. They make a 2L 4 in Avengers... Hmmm... Its FWD, but still, Hmmm... Wonder how light you could get a 4cyl Avenger...

I drive a 97 Avenger as my daily driver and never thought about the conversion package, but now since it was mentioned I would think a nice 340 auto with rear wheel drive would make a pretty stout car 416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!
