dalola - the stock wheels looked to me like they were slanting the wrong way, almost like I'd have to drive backwardss for them to look right
The motor is basically an Explorer motor (DIS, coil packs, Explorer intake - but different heads I think)
trularin - I'll keep visiting Scott's shed, but I might leave the wallet at home for a while!
Ernie - Chrysler were pretty big over here in the 60s and 70s. We're seeing ads on TV for the new Crossfire - it'll be out here in 2 months. The E49 Charger was the most famous Aussie Chrysler, a 265 Hemi powered 2 door, and it made most of the V8s of the time look pretty mundane.
http://www.valiant.org/charger.html tells a bit of the story. In fact, the 6 cylinder cars of today are looking pretty good. Ford have brought out a turbo 6 that's making over 300hp. I'm picking it as our next "cult car". Already, guys have upped the boost and they're making around 600hp !!!
