does anyone know of a company that makes a front frame kit to install a small block 318 or 360 into a daytona, i know mopar peformance used to sell one but nomore.......... im kinda thinkin of a supra eatin twin turbo magnum v8 powerd street 89 shelby daytona. supras are damn fast so thats why the v8..ive seen some fast turbo 2 dodges on the net though........ahhhhh the silver 10 second k car... daytonas rock..
no kits huh? that is a bummer. ive been looking at videos of some of thease shelbys going 11s 12s even some 10s i think il build a strong turboII motor ...it just seems easier. thanks for the reply.
nice roadrunner! i always wanted a 68 to 69 road runner almost got a 70 gtx but money was tight. nothin like good old fashion muscle! yeah the daytona is still such a stylish car. i definatly think if chrysler had produced a v8 rwd daytona ..then.let carol shelby get ahold of it it would still be in production today and probably one of the most sought after cars of all time!
No argument. I always loved the Shelby Z, Shelby, Iroc and Iroc R/T Daytona's, the Turbo Z's are not too bad either. They would have definately been legendary if they had V8's and were RWD, but they still pretty much are thanks to the 2.2L turbo II's and turbo III's. I almost had a '69 GTX 440 4-spd. for only $4,500 and all it needed was paint. It had new quarters, new door panels, new dash pad, new exhaust with headers and was in primer just waiting for the paint to finish it off, but I didn't have the $$$$.
yeah! it always seems to happen that way you find all the really good deals on them when you dont have the$$$, but when you do have the $$$ theyre either mint cond 25xxx or over or are nowhere to be found. well i do have to say the turbo II did get me through some pretty nice races. from 5.os to iroc cammaros man thinking back those car i could beat by two to three car lenghts with just a homade ram/cold air intake system. fwd turbo dodges are just a force to be rekond with. most peolple think they are outdated but when you smoke a ss or a cobra with just bolt ons and a simple boost bleed, huh not so out dated now!!! you wouldnt happen to know what movie it was that had tommy lee jones in it and he drove around an old turbo z, well it wasent old at the time , but it was called mercury rising or blue moon rising or something like that any way it had a pretty good chase seen with the turbo z sliding around corners and burn outs n stuff , also one of the cannonball runs had franlk senatra drivend a turbo z passing a vett. and then we all know about the wraith!!! awsome movie.
v8 kit?
