hello
i have a 1992 dodge dynasty with a 3.3 liter engine. i was wondering
about swapping dodge's big block 488 v10 into the car.
i realize i would probably have to convert to rear wheel drive and
a manual transmission but that's something i'm willing to do. i
would like to make this car into a semi performance. i say semi
performance because i don't want to tub the body and change all
the body panels to fiberglass. i not looking to build a dragster,
just something that can blow the doors of a guy in a mustang or camero.
basically, i want crazy power and this engine is crazy enough. around
here it's cool to take non-sports cars and make them cool and fast. if i did this, i'd be a god.
i also realize that having a fast car is more than just a big engine.
there's transmissions, gear ratios, tires, etc.
the car is driveable right now, and is in great condition, it's
been a daily driver since 1992. i didn't buy this as a write-off or some busted car.
my questions to you are:
is this even possible? (if your laughing right now, it's ok)
will the engine stick up through the hood?
how hard is it to convert from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive?
what other swap in items can you recomend? (tranny, axle's etc.)
***IMPORTANT***
================
will i break the unibody frame when i torque this beast?
will i have to reinforce the unibody?
how fast can i expect the car to go? (other than adding some ground
effects, i'm not going to trim or cut the body any.
this is something i'd really like to do. i really like my car, but
i'd like it to have crazy power so this is what i've thought of.
your help and opinons would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerly,
OffRoad
