Jack,
Your logic is impeccable. I was more worried about yesterdays post re: no
performance parts from Mopar for the 98s. And that from a Mopar perf tech
line worker... Arrrgh. Im mainly concerned about fit in the engine
compartment, Id hate to have to "move things around" to get the 97 headers
to fit. I am ignorant of the changes between 97 and 98 model years... One
of the reasons I am a MOpar guy is that they offered basically any engine in
any body style From 225 slant six to 426 elephants, all wihtout chassis mods
beyond motor mounts and K memebers. Thats the philosophy I love. Thats
also why Im not slamming a 380HP/360 crate Dak transplant concept. It fits
the "tradition"...
What about a v10 in the Dak?
