New Duster
I did not mean for that to ask what it will take as skills or parts to do the swap. I was just curious since its all original what would you do? If it was your car lol.
If it were MY car, I'd put a single 66mm turbo on the 225 slant six using FABO member "PISHTA"'s J-pipe setup that uses the stock exhaust manifold.
It's not a race setup, but will allow the slant six to breathe well enough to make enough beans to give the stock 340s and 360s fits.
I like something a little different in my MOPARS and the "swap in a V8" exercise has been done to death... while turbo slant sixes can run very well (at least, well enough to be a lot of fun) and are rare enough to turn a lot of heads at a cruise-in or car show.
The 2-bbl carb on a Super Six intake manifold, and water/alky injection will allow a stock cam and head to run low 14's and maybe even quicker, on pump gas. You would need to swap in an 8.25" rear end, but they are numerous and cheap.
I think it's a viable alternative for someone who wants something a little different. It's surely no harder than rounding up all the many parts necessary for a successful V8 swap.
Food for thought...
There are several people on this board who would be delighted to advise and help with information if you decidsed to go that route.
I had never owned a slant six before, nor a turbochargeds anything when I decided to build one. You don't have to be an expert, going in.... but, you probably will be, coming out... LOL!:violent1:
It's something to think about...:D
