Yummmyyyy, me like it a lot! Any hemi makes me drool...

All your thoughts above are good. I mean you still have to decide what's the most suitable solution for your own preferences. Each of those approaches have their ups and downs, get some loose some kind of. In your case I would go with the SBM V-8 route, for example an injected version outta 90's Ram Van + 4-speed OD automatic. Cheap package from junkyard, quite straight forward installation and plenty of pulling power, reliability and not that bad gas mileage. Even better, find an early 2 wd Dakota and you get the correct width rear axle as a bonus, you need that also. I'm most likely doing the Dodge V6 3.9L (238cid) swap myself, since here anything bigger or more powerful needs extensive hassle with getting it legally back on road. (Our government only allows 20% more HP over original, and +25% volume) It just seems that those engines are hard to find here in Finland.

Warm welcome onboard, from not so warm Finland!

...you can obtain flashing performance... Well, umph.. with flatty and fluidrive that doesn't come into my mind at first:p

Pat... my morning coffee just spew out my nose:D

OK I'm skeptic. Let us know when you get the LA based Hemi motor in hand.

ebay? http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37.l1313&satitle=lh+thread+nut&category0=

Is that guy on the scoot wearing red strings:eek:

BAAAAD:D :D Even us Finns are familiar with the master Helicopterist

Despite the diesel, "me like it a lot"

I know any of these Mopars can easily handle a situation like that, but hey hey hey let's be careful out there:p

Now how cool is that. I find it always interesting to know the history of your vehicle. You are a lucky son of a gun, remember to place your lottery this week!

Dennis that pretty much summaries this, hilarious!

I really appreciate all the words of wisdom guys. I hope all of you understood correctly my Finnish sarcasm, I don't r e a l l y think or feel that 40 is "old". Pekka, soo soo P.S Around twenty friends coming over today for a party, headache guaranteed:cool:

No complaints whatsoever, it's all good. You guys are funny!

Thanks guys! Don, I wouldn't dare to mess up your peacefull life with sending my wife over. She's the boss, no I mean THE BOSS!

I quess my car is such an oddball here and looks kinda cartoonish, that nearly everybody smiles, some even laugh. Or is it me..? Most common guestion is simply, "what's that?" Since theres no Dodge mentioned anywhere in my puppy, people have no idea. That applies from youngsters to elderly as well

Fellows, I turned 40 years today as of 08.08.2008. Please instruct if there is life after that, I can definately see the opposite river bank of my life already;) Or will the afternoon coffee and bisquet be the most exciting thing in my life from now on... Naaah, seriously the kid inside me still has the power. And I don't look a day over fifty:D

Nope, but when I discussed with the owner year ago, he showed me the project pics and I can tell you guys that the job done has been massive. The starting point was quite pathetic, and what a beauty it's now.

There's 318 cid LA motor under the hood in Kakes Plym

Thanks for the pics, really nice color on that Plymouth and that Panel is cool as well

Buy another set of used originals, and cut them. That way you still have a pair of originals unmolested for future.

Thought you gentlemen might like these photos:eek: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/338226/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1

Cool event, wish I was there. Thanks for the pics Norm.
