Will a 383 Need Adjusting - 2/21/2006 3:56:09 PM    yarcli52   Posts: 16 Joined: 1/17/2006 Status: offline I have an '86 Dodge Daytona on my hands and i'm lookin to do something a little different. I've seen exline's work with his 5.7 Hemi. But i'm looking to drop in a 383 Chevy Stroker Engine. I'm curious if the engine compartment would need modified for it to fit and if so how much? I would also need room in the future for the additions of a supercharger and a turbocharger. That is what i have planned for the upcoming summer. Once that is finished i may attempt a RWD conversion. I know this will take a lot of work but it will be something special. Am I completely crazy or am i a pioneer. Give me your thoughts people. Post #: 1

Daytona's just give me the picture that they deserve the old american muscle. Now i'm not putting down the little turbo 4 bangers those things can move the model just seems to be made just how the old ones used to be, big engines and RWD. Where at in Pa are you located? But its either an 383 or a mopar engine thats gonna be going into it. (in reply to exline) Post #: 3
