I bought a turbo shadow 2.5t 1989 dodge shadow es with a replacment a-555 tranny.
$700cdn<----hahahahaha. it was a steal. when i got it, it was running 4psi in the aftermarket tubo with no intercooler.
i built a manual boost controller and got it up to 14psi at 215hp on the dyno.
i took it threw the rocky mountians in bc canada and the darn thing blew the head in half. it spiked to over 30psi (thats the top of my gauge).
that little car was faster than my aftermarket custom built (by vulcan motors) 3.3 shadow. im in the market for another motor... any ideas??
i have a $2500cdn budget.

find a daytona motor and swap it...outta the shelby zs they had similar motor to the M4S cosworth built 2.2 and they had 440 hp. SO if its more power you are lookin for id start there.

you could buy a whole car for 800-2000 or just find a salvage one...
