    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    Depending on how much it would be to ship you could still get it! I could crate it all up and ship it freight?

    If you want defrost, I'd just buy one of those aftermarket kits for it. Otherwise, you'd be into finding a tailgate that is in same or better condition that yours with working wiper etc preferably in the same color... and just "not very rusty" ones tend to run to $200.... at least in rustbelt areas.... the "just the glass" approach is also a crapshoot and you'll probably want a glass installer to do it unless you're okay with chasing leaks for 6 months and potentially rusting your thus far unrusty tailgate... this will also tend to run spendy...

    If you had a rotted gate with a siezed wiper, I'd say, sure, look for one with defrost... but if yours is in premium shape already, unless you get real lucky it's just far easier and cheaper to get a stick on defroster.

    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    I had one of them, too!

    Pete Faggella 03 PT Cruiser, 2.4L N/A 5 speed. Daily driver. All stock with baby moon wheels. 85 LeBaron 2.2TBI auto. Hoped I'd see a difference with bumped compression, but I didn't. Still slow.

What a Ride!'"

    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    Put 4 bucket seats in the van today as well as a clean carpet set from the junkyard. Went from manual to power drivers seat. Also grabbed a few missing interior pieces. Lucked onto another SWB van the same color so i grabbed the side molding pieces from that. Shes cleaning up real nice!

    Still havent put gas in so MPG is still up in the air

    pics coming soon.

    Are you intending to somehow mate the AWD to the 8v? There are documented interference issues if that's what you're considering.

    I confirmed a 3.0L block works with AWD, and lotsaboost confirmed the 2.4L block works. Sadly no one has found a way to get 2.2L/2.5L to work.
    Where's the documentation?

    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    Im going 2.4. I have slowly been collecting parts, I have sourced a 99 stratus 2.4 block with SRT rods/pistons. I have pt cruiser head. Just picked up all 16 valves from mopar for a 2005 srt along with the head gasket. I have a 568 sitting under the bench.

    Ive been getting 17-18mpg in town and the last trip down to the track towing the omni i got 21!

    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    Still with 3.0 right?

    If you're going 2.4 id skip the 2.5 part entirely.. I think that's what you're doing but not 100% sure just by reading this.

    Re: Forcedfedmopars VAN

    Stick shift van is so awesome. I enjoy owning a 1992 Voyager factory 5 speed but I really want to find a 94 eventually. Did you know you can easily swap in the digital dash from a town and country or easily swap in the full feature analog cluster? I swapped in the Town and Country dash (and bcm to drive it) into my 92 Voyager and it gained headlamp off delay as well which is a pretty nice feature.

    Springs about the same, brakes about the same, torque.... not so much... probably wanna use truck routing on yer GPS so you get the 5000ft on ramps.
