Thanks, I'll check!

Thanks for the tips!

From info I got the clutch was replaced and then suddenly 'went out' shortly after. I looked behind pedal with a mirror and all the parts/cable looked to be in the right...

Hi all!

Haven't worked on the Mopar FWD cars before. My '86 Omni 5 speed is a project, just looking into it now. The clutch pedal is just hanging & dangling, no actuation. Cable seems to be...

Thanks, Jason, didn't see your reply for a while!

Thanks, just what I needed to know. Looks like I'll be doing some shopping!

Interesting info on other choices! I've heard of the 8 valve and don't really know what it is. Is that the stock 2.2, with 2 valves per cylinder?

On the carb the Weber 32/36 or 36/38 fits right...

Thanks very much for some excellent info, guys!

More details: it's going to be a tube chassis where I've made much more clearance front & rear, like another 10" behind engine and the front only...

Thanks, Dev, and I ought to be ashamed of myself, I already knew the Dakota V6 was a chopped down 5.9! Guess I wasn't awake yet when I posted.

Only reason I'm considering the 3.0L is 800cc's more...

Related question: just saw a 3.0 V6 swap into a Shadow done by Cobra 2411,

By any chance is the 3.0 V6 the same basic engine as used in a '90 Dakota V6?...

Thanks for the further info guys! I was off chasing other stuff and didn't see later replies. I guess it was the transaxle assembly that was the real question as most of these iron/aluminum 4's are...

Hi all!

Hope this is the best place to ask this, couldn't see a better place to ask. I'm new to the Chrysler 4 cylinders but a long time Mopar guy. Building an '85 Omni project and looking to...

Thanks for the feedback and info. This is for a project vehicle that's smog exempt. I can actually get the performance I want with just carburetion but thinking turbo/carb could add a lot to that.

Just wondering if anyone here has built up a 2.2 or similar type engine with turbo but without computer control? Or would anyone have info on same? Thanks!

Few other thoughts: 4BT weighs about 800 lbs with fluids, NV4500 about 200 lbs, flywheel/clutch, Cummins adapter plate, 6BT bellhousing about 80+ lbs. so that's over 1,000 not counting extras like...

Some other notes: I was very fortunate on my swap, some of which is described at the 4BTSwap forums. I got the donor Frito-Lay van for $1,300, and the NV4500 delivered for $800, both rare events. It...

One place to check on some high horsepower 6BT's with VE pump is at:

You'll have to thumb through archived posts there of...

I didn't get back to see other responses! To answer a few questions: the horsepower rating isn't the name of the game in diesels and many make a mistake there. Diesel engines first provide torque,...

It's reported by many guys on the Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel forums that contaminated brake fluid often causes problems. The fluid picks up metal contaminants and moisture which throws off the...

Far as I know zero offset has the wheel center located exactly there, in the wheel's center, not offset. Positive offset in varying degrees pushes wheel center farther and farther out to outside of...

I'm new to this Mopar engine series but on all other Chrysler engines there's a techique for eliminating the possible air entrapment. On any engine thermostat I drill a small hole about 1/8" to 1/16"...

Hi guys!

'85 Dodge Omni 2.2 non-turbo carb engine: is there any type of vacuum advance distributor available so I can entirely eliminate computer control?

Building a project that is 100% smog...

Thanks guys, and thanks for the welcome!

I have a '75 Isuzu 4 clanger that's virtually the same engine design, cast iron block/aluminum head and it weighs 311 for complete engine with iron exhaust...

If at all possible I'd strongly suggest an NV4500 5 spd trans, preferably the Dodge version. Gives you a granny low, 3 intermediate gears and a .77 o'drive. You do need to make sure the NV4500 has...

Hi guys!

Building a project car and need to estimate various weights. Can anyone post the total weight of the 2.2 engine/trans & axles unit, or without axles included? Mine is an '85 Omni 2.2/5...
