[WVRampage]

The rims are a nice touch,It looks like it is ment to be in the older car and not a neon.

[ohiorob]

should be a lot of fun. I know the grandkids will love it.
thanks Bryan for the pics

[Mike_Shepard]

Man-O-Man that is going to be awesome.

OBSTACLES

#1 intake curves in at bottom and the tb will not bolt up, it hits the trans.
so i chopped the end off and one off an old turbo I intake, monday i'll take it up the road to get welded.
#2 the oil filter spins on an oil cooler which is under the pass. axle. the coolant lines from the oil cooler interfer with the inner cv . should be an easy fix. later

Thats going to be a wicked ride. You've got me more excited to get my van done now.

I know what you mean about the oil cooler, I just put one of those engines in a 1st Gen Neon. Got pics of that as I couldn't find where they put one of the lines so I just put it into the heater hose return.

Rob. I have a 2.4 minivan intake that goes over the valve cover. I am sure you have plenty of room there if you want it. Besides, that SRT manifold would fit much better in my charger

The junk PT cruiser intake?

[ohiorob]

Bryan do you have pics of the back of the engine?

[Speedeuphoria]

Its a known thing that the TB hits the auto trans, you can just loose the oil cooler if you want and put a larger oil filter on(I have the big mustang filter on my SRT pan that barely clears the pass axle)

[Dave]

Bryan do you have pics of the back of the engine?

Nope, I'll grab some when I drop off the van.

[TurbododgePirate]

The junk PT cruiser intake?

Nope it's a little different than the PT intake with a small plenum after the TB and long runners.

[Dave]

Well it looks to be almost done. Here are more pics for Rob. He did an excellent job on it!













If anyone wants pics of something in particular or just more I'll post more up. I can take a pic of anything else to help everybody out, if that's okay with Rob.

Good work, Rob! Can't wait to take all 3 vans to the track in April.
