Added a 90 spirit es to the family. 3.0 V6, 52mm throttle body, ported/polished plenum, 1" plenum spacers, shorty intake.
Just sprayed it satin black, refinshed the snowflakes gloss black, smoked the tails. It's basically an RT only without the driveline, has every other option and they all work.

My 95 acclaim 3.0 is sitting on, custom intake, 52mm throttle body, ported/polished plenum, 1" plenum spacers, ported heads, diamante cams, 3" exhaust w/ srt4 duals at the back, built trans with 2500 stall. 195k and running stronger then ever.

I have an 86 dodge 600 es turbo that I bought from a widow of a man who had stormed the beach on D-Day. The stepson sent me a pic of him in later years and pointed out that he had lost his index finger that day. I flew on a sat night to minn /st paul and bought it on sunday morning , put air in the tires and 1 qt of oil and drove it two days back to portland or. Since then it has been driven to phx az and then to Dallas tx. I also have a 93 5th ave with 198k miles that I drive and the wife drives a 93 NY salon with 107k miles on it everyday. both of those are white with blue leather.

Also, this weekend I stopped and looked at a really sharp 82 K coupe , RED , with only 52,000 miles on it . 2.2 carb motor. No a/c and stick 4 speed. Cute car. But the guy wanted $2500.00 for it . Crazy !

Just refinished the Acclaim and swapped in the A543 manual. It's a totally different car.

205k and still going strong.

It's amazing how much a 5spd does for the 3.0 cars. They're downright speedy with any amount of modifications. My 3.0 Dynasty i converted to 5spd was one good clutch away from a 14-second 1/4 mile, and still went 15.2 w/2.16 60' with very little mods. That was on slicks. If the clutch would have held a full power launch it would have probably done 14.8.

Default Lets see here

Right now I have a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim 2.5l TBI with the 3spd auto (would like to change to a 4 speed auto since it keeps screaming for another gear at highway speeds).


Did own a 1992 Dodge Dynasty LE with the 3.3 V-6 and 4speed auto....damn I miss that car.

The 4spd auto doesnt bolt to the old 2.5L. They sold a version that did in Mexico and possibly elsewhere, but after years of grumbling i've never seen anyone actually go to the trouble to import one.

As for Dynastys, my first Dynasty was the 2nd k-car i ever owned, i've owned 3 dynastys, and i've had at least 1 every day of the last 12 years.
