Gas price going up // Rethinking the new project car

Nobody said that's wrong.......slant 6 or a 318 would be excellent choices but it's the dumb suggestions of putting something was a piece of **** to start with from a 90's and 2000's era crap into a classic Mopar

Funny thing is that I watched a youtube video by David Visard just a few days ago on porting a 2.2 Turbo 2 head . It got me thinking about how someone could modify a Dakota 2.5 5sp powertrain in an early A-Body and use a turbo 3 Lotus head and larger turbo . You could probably ring out close to 300+ hp and still get good mpg.
Not to mention shaving 150 lbs off the front of the car .
