Oddball Engine Swaps

[justa dumb hick]

CHRYSLER Fire-Power! Now there is something you don't see every day. A wise and intriguing choice in my unsolicited opinion. I certainly hope you will begin a detailed build thread on this fine creation of yours. I have an annoying habit of studying the background of posted images to better understand the individual who is posting, and based on what I see in your shop, the details and quality of this build will no doubt be first rate.

Accepting my own intellectual limitations of being a Dumb Hick, I am painfully curious to all mechanical details. Perhaps this is a conditioned response due to my Appalachian roots and DNA (I was 14 before I realized drinking water was not supposed to smell like sulfur). That being said, I would impress upon you to share additional details such as crankshaft centerline, motor-mount design, vibration isolation efforts, transmission choice and fitment, long-bock weight and subsequent spring-rates/ride height. And so on... I think you have a very interesting build here and others will be curious as well. I for one am rooting for a Chrysler style A-833 overdrive manual transmission like Arne has in his truck.

Good luck, have fun and please start a build thread- you have a great foundation to build upon!

..I'm headed back to the shop now... can't find my damn coffee cup again...
