better work at a tire shop!
Where's he located? I've got a 95 Lebaron convertible that I've kicked around the idea of throwing a small block in it, make it a drag car. Stuff some Weld Draglites on it would look cool and classy!I have a buddy that builds conversions for installing a small blk to a hemi in Shadows, LeBarons, and Daytonas. He started with a 360 in his, now a 6.1, in a 94 Daytona. That's been my plan for my 87 LeBaron cp.
I believe dodge used to sell rear wheel conversions for Daytonas back in the 80's so you could put a v8 into the thing. I agree it's a very nice build, but a ton of effort and money spent.
It was built and marketed for ss/gt racing,It cost me about $600 in 1992 money. I had serial #006 kit and installed it in a 1986 340 Laser. It used a custom k,stock a-srms (switched from right to left for front steering) ,brakes and struts (all to be upgraded) ,included a pre bent and indexed drop tube with mounting ears for the motor mounting (spool) and a trans mount. Trans tunnel needed mods, and I had an 8 3/4 rear welded to the stock trailing arms and modified the panhard bar to clear the housing bump. Cop 15" wheels fit under the car. It used a Dakota manual rack and a modified lower shaft converted to front steer. I traded it for a 66 sport fury convertable 4 speed car before I was done. I believe Quantum 53's buddy is Exline fabricating and they made nice kits .I believe dodge used to sell rear wheel conversions for Daytonas back in the 80's so you could put a v8 into the thing.
