I always wanted to convert it to RWD and drop a V8 in it. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto. Modified 04 Dodge SRT-4 2.4L DOHC Turbo Intercooled 5-spd.

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 $$$$. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.
