I loved the FWD Mopars. The Dusters/Shadow are basically the same underneath as the Daytonas. The 2.5 Turbo is reliable, easy to modify, and gets good gas mileage. You can find a decent '80s FWD Mopar for <$2000 and drive it home.

ThAt's great! I never tired of the turbo rush. Try replacing the speed/distance sensor first, if that doesn't work, replace gear in speedo or find one junkyard/eBay

That, and the CS was a no-options car. It was lighter than the Shelbys. Here is a good source of info on Shelby Dodge cars. http://www.dempseybowling.com/sheldodg/ I really miss my Daytonas.

2.5's had the balance shafts, driven off of the timing belt. 2.2's did not have the balance shafts. 2.2 & 2.5 were similar otherwise, kind of like comparing a 318 to a 360. Maybe some small dimensions were different on bearings, etc. but basically they were the same. I think most all external...

The speedo came and went on my 87. I replaced the S/D sensor but didn't help; next I disassembled the speedo itself to find one of the gears stripped. At the time somebody was making replacement gears for sale on the net. I never had any trouble with the turbo's on my cars. Or head gaskets...

Edit: if the $1750 is for a not-too-rusty, drivable car; that is a good deal IMO. If I was looking for a daily driver I would strongly consider it.

I've had 3: an '89 CS, '89 Shelby and an '87 Shelby Daytona. The Shelby's were 2.2 T2's; the CS was a 2.5 T1. All 5-speeds. The only problem I had in about 100,000 mile of cumulative driving were: Broken timing belts (twice, both at ~120,000 miles); broken motor mounts (playing with...

I agree...I like a clean engine compartment, especially a relocated battery, but when I first saw this, I wasn't sure if it was an unfinished engine swap or what. Sure would be easy to keep clean!

Talk about the clean look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/71-Plymouth-Duster-V8-Automatic-Hemi-Orange-in-NC_W0QQitemZ270493752118QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3efaaf1b36#v4-32

I've always heard that mothballs will keep mice away. I found some with their own plastic hangers and hung them on my farm tractors in the barn in the winter time, haven't had any mouse damage or nests in my tractors.

My 07 Charger R/T got 24 mpg on a round-trip to TN last week...with me, wife and two kids, driving the speed limit. It will easily get high 20's with highway-only driving. The local Dodge dealer has 4 Challengers, 2 Black R/T's, 1 White R/T and one Black SRT. No bump stickers. They used to...

I'm either going to use Joe Gibbs BR or Comp Cams break-in oil. Summit has the Comp Cams oil for $5/qt. The Gibbs oil is more expensive.

2 lbs won't last very long. I haven't been able to successfully weld sheet metal thickness with the flux core wire. I do better with a small rod and my arc welder. I've had the best luck with Lincoln wire and rods.

I wondered the same thing about oil leaks. I saw this picture, I think it was on the Hughes Engines web site. Looks killer to me!

What would be an approximate % for driveline losses for an automatic and for a manual transmission? That is, difference between rear-wheel HP and HP at the crank. Thanks!

I run 87 in my 08 Hemi Ram. No problems. My 07 Charger is a different story, it has always been picky about gas quality. It sometimes pinged right before full-throttle upshifts. Seemed to be more associated with fuel quality rather than octane, it did that with every tune from OEM stock to...

One of my coworkers has an 09...Black with chrome 20's, Hemi/auto, quad cab. He likes it a lot. I have an 08 QC, Hemi/Auto. I like his truck a lot, and I love,love,love the center console with floor shifter. I'd trade my truck to an 09 just to get the floor shifter. He obsessed about...

These are all Demons and then some random pics of the F-bodies and rock crawling. I have a buddy that may restore a Demon that is in his family, that is why we took all the Demon pics, to encourage him. F-bodies because I used to have an orange '77 Roadrunner like the one in the pic...
