Cool project! Looking forward to updates
Cool project! Looking forward to updates
Well I already have a almost new stratus r/t motor and rods and pistons for it. I could send it out and get the machine work done while i'm fabing mounts. I have my header flange already, an HX40 holset and intercooler, trans tunnel from a supercoupe thunderbird looks like its going to work out well. If I can keep up the momentum who knows.....sooner or later I'll run out out of money to buy stuff I'm going to be needing to keep working on it but for right now I have alot of stuff to keep going on it. I have over 80 pics on facebook of it so far.

Pics of the engine mounts fabbed up. I welded .25" thick tubes inside the cross member so the motor mount bolts cannot crush the cross member.

Well I pulled the 05 mex stratus turbo engine apart and it has the older smaller oil pump and no oil squirters. Also the bed plate is broken so I will be using the mock up motor for the race block. I found that a liberty oil pump has the oil filter boss on the right side and faces forward so I've ordered one. That should clear my front cross member but I still don't know if it is the larger capacity pump til i get it. I'm using the steel liberty rwd oil pan and I'll have to raise the motor a bit so it will clear the steering rack. Hope the engine doesn't stick out of the hood!!

Wow looks like its coming along very well
I redid the front motor mounts and now the stock liberty rwd pan fits there like it was factory.
Got my drive shaft and new slicks

I blew the rampage up at Cayuga Dragway last fall
This is the run, check out the guy picking up the wrench that fell out of my car and pocketing it!
