    Wow what a hood! Frakkin HUGE. For some reason I liked it bare metal better than painted.

    Yeah, that thing was hideous. My motor is out of an intrepid and has a low profile intake manifold. I kept telling myself i was going to mock it up in my 93 dynasty engine bay when i was parting it for my 'new' 90 dynasty but i was too lazy to even take out the perfectly good 3.3 that was in there and sent it all to scrap without trying the 3.5.

    I didn't read it all but I wanted to punch the guy who basically said "it aint a swap unless its super custom so you should put a Chevy 350 in it...."

    Re: 3.5l swap

    LOL, because doing the 100000000000000th SBC swap makes you some kind of cool guy, i guess?


    bakes, it would take a pretty big holset to feed a 3.5! I say go for it...

    Coming up blank on a better shape for the hood.. Smaller manifold def would have been good.

    Dual tone with a flat black center might have helped a little.

    Re: 3.5l swap

    I dont think there's any fixing that kind of ugly. But we're talking about a guy who bought a 2g sebring convertible here, so.. i dont think there was ever much hope of looks being a concern.
