Its also the sense of satisfaction when you accomplish the task.. Its not a simple swap by any means..

 

so swap a viper engine in that would be unique plus thatsa hard swapnot easy and would look stupid

 

the unique factor is that the motor isnt a direct swap.......i still would rather just turbo the stock 2.0

 

We know, we know .

I've thought about both the 2.4 and the SRT-4 swap, but I think I would like to keep A/C and P/S opn my daily driver.

 

in order for me to get rid of my pwersteering i would have to gain atleast 50hp.....otherwise its just not worht it too me
i just dont see why people think they need a bigger motor to go faster
here i spent less then a complete srt swap on my motor and i bet iwill be ableto beat most any 1st gen with an srt4 swap up to atleast a stage 2[8D]

 

What are you running at the track, Spud? You take it yet?

 

It sin't running yet, but will be a fully built 2.0 turbo engine.

 

I want a swap because I have 141,000 miles on it and I go through a quart of oil a week. At this point, I don't care if it's the Srt-4 motor or not, I just want to go fast.

 

yeah it will hopefully be done soon.....i still am trying to come up with enough money to get the motor back[:@]...then i still need to get my head done, retainers, adj. cam gears, rear suspension nuckle, and a few other odds and ends.......then need to take it and get tuned
i have a guy thats wanting to give me all the money needed to get the car going because he wants to see how it runs, but i would rather wait and do it all without anyones help....actually, the wife would rather me go that route...i would take the money in a heart beat since i wanna drive the car..
but i guess there are more important priorities in life right now and thats why the r/t is still on jack stands with a car cover on it.....
me and a few guys have estimated the hp to be somewhere in the low 300whp range when its done at 15-20 pounds of boost......so i hope its close

 

That's pretty impressive. I hear you on the priority aspect of things. I'm graduating from high school the 10th and am starting a new job. I'm looking for the fastest way to get this car going because I will be traveling every day and I need to know i will be able to make it from jobsite to jobsite.
