Makes me miss my old Daytona
 
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.
 
Yup. I’d run it.
Very well done.
Like the guy on the phone,hearing but not believing...
 
Absolutely!! Always thought this should've been done, imagine how the market would've been if we had these back then.
 
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ All it takes is money and you can have one too!

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!

Ans id didn't spin out of control into the crowd like the Mustangs do. LOL
 
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.

They did, they had a k frame at least, because it's in my old mp catalog
 
There’s a K car convertible in my area that is a pro touring car with a 6.1L in it.
 
Here is mine.

78 Challenger 440 with 906's and a .509 hydraulic cam. Just about as stock as it can be and still be a race car. Not enough room for a big radiator or I may try to go cruising. At 3350# it has run 11.04 at 106, running out of breath and rattling the valvetrain but, I usually go 1/8 mile racing, anyways. Wife is the Crew Chief and Daughter is allergic to all the noise. I have tried to convince one of them to drive. I am steady working out the bugs from the former owners(Friends of mine) and I expect 2019 to be a fun year.

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 .
