It was just sketched out on a piece of notebook paper, I don't think I kept it.
Thanks, it was quite a project. Kenny fabricated the front crossmember and the rear subframe to my specs. It uses a Mustang rack, just because they're cheap and readily available. The rear end is...

I have more pics, but I don't think they'd help you much, the rear axle of my project is a little different from yours. Still, if you decided to run some braces back that far it wouldn't be hard to...
I used this.

It's just 3 inch C Channel.

It fits perfectly over the existing rails. I also filled the rockers with structural foam. It was a little pricey but worth it in my opinion.
Kenny Exline at www.exlinecustomauto.com used to build them. Last time I talked to him he wasn't planning on making any more, but you could always ask. He does excellent work.
Here's the build...
Yea, as I remember the tweets in the dash are together with the door speakers. You can use regular speakers with the existing wiring, you just have to pick the right 2 wires out of the harness. I...
If there's a lot of slop in the steering, check the bolts that hold the rack to the K frame, sometimes they tend to work loose.
The door and rear speakers are all 5 1/4". Depending on which stereo...
Start at www.thedodgegarage.com. It's a great site that has all the turbo Mopar basics and more.
There actually were a few factory intercooled Lebarons, but they're pretty rare. The J body...
I guess it all depends on what you to spend, and how much work you want to do. You've got a driveline with 100+K on it, so slamming a bunch of boost to it isn't great for reliability. If it was mine,...
Thanks, much appreciated.
You're right about the O/D. With a 3:23 gear I run about 75@2K with the converter locked, very highway friendly. Without having a computer I just have to remember to...
Here's the build thread.

How did you wire the lockup and overdrive solenoids...
Welcome aboard. Nice collection.
Yea, I did mine once. Once. Don't think I'd ever do it again. It was a probably 10 or more years ago, but as I remember it took me a few weeks to get it right. I bought the best top I could find at...
Charger, Challenger meh close enough I guess.

I had one off of a 300 SRT8 that I was going to use on my Magnum but decided not to. It was very similar to the Spirit one, but had a little curve to it. I remember thinking that it might fit nice on...

Hell, if he would have thrown out the floor mats it would have made the 13's. lol

Looks like me and the Sarge are going.
I'm considering a pair of turbos for the 'Baron. Basically just because I can't get the emblems off of the fenders. I do so hate to be dishonest.

How well do those throttle bodies actually seal up? I'd think they would leak like crazy.
