Hey Jon -
Here at the cable company , there is an old 89 RC Dak out back that has
been sitting there forever and a day . It is a 2.5 with 90K miles or so .
When I used to have my 1994 4-cylinder Dak , I often thought about trying
to simply bolt the entire head/intake/turbo/exhaust system from a 2.2 on
the thing (they are basically the same motor) . I would still love to try
this one day, but it will have to be a day when I have a whole lotta money
AND an equal amount of Time !
Now , I had also thought about a turbo on the old 66 Dart with a Slant
Six.....and I HAVE seen that done before .
