The last few years at the Nats, there has been a real nice Daytona there with a new Hemi in it. I thought I read where they were going to market the swap components but I'm not 100% sure. If I see it there again this year, I'll make sure to ask.

The MP kit wasn't much. The only unique part was the K member and there isn't much to it. The rest was off the shelf parts. I believe the brake/spindle setup was Grand Caravan stuff for the bolt pattern. Spring can be wound at any competent spring shop for the added, if any, weight.

Yea, I have one of these kits. It's set up for a manual steering gear. If you plan on doing a V8/rear wheel drive conversion you can make it yourself. There will be more work installing the rear axle that installing the motor. If you look on u tube for some of the daytona v8 conversions there are links to the details of the build.

TBH there's really not much to these front suspension conversion kits. The front suspensions on these cars are pretty simple and if a guy can't figure it out I would be pretty worried about the quality of the rest of his RWD conversion.

wasn't there a stub axle included to hold the front wheel bearings together and included a tone wheel for anti-lock brakes if so equipped ? one could make those stubs pretty easy from a junk axle and a few minutes on the lathe.

I did make the RWD conversion kits. But have not made any for several years. I never sold a lot of them and I got to busy with metal work anyway. It was not real complicated but it was a lot of work. The front suspension crossmember steering rack location was the critical thing to get right. I still have my 92 Iroc with the V8 in it. Hard to believe I have had it this way for 23 years now.
