Default 2001 rt 3.0

I have a 2001 Stratus RT3.0 that I want to make a "true" MOPAR. Can anybody give me some ideas? I'm thinking of turning it into an AWD or RWD from an FWD. I'm also thinking about getting a Magnum V6, rebuild it and put a supercharger on it. Please no negative or rude comments. Just asking for ideas. Thanks.

Because what you are wanting to do will literally costs thousands and thousands of dollars, I'm talking 5 figure thousands. . I mean unless you have a FULL shop in your garage or access to one... you are going to need just about every hand, power, pneumatic, hydraulic tool known to the automotive world... as well as a TIG welder... sorry but MIG just WONT cut it as far as structural strength is concerned... so I hope you have all the tools and the $ to do it... its not just the parts that are expensive its the man-hours involved with that project...As I always say, with enough time, money and fabrication skills, anything is possible. Not being negative or rude, just stating facts.

If you insist on following through with this, my suggestion would be to buy an awd donor car and swap your stratus body onto it.

A big ol HEMI will drop right in the engine bay. Then use the channel the exhaust uses for the driveshaft and get a rear subframe from an AWD Eclipse (Thats cheating since its still from a Mitsubishi).

Then do a couple good launches and wonder why the unibody is all twisted up.

The right way to do it, but you lose the daily-drivability.
