Re: Two door 4k panels, Parting out 5k Turbo

John,

Im truly amazed that someone responded so fast! 

Im VERY interested in your 4k. Is it a rust bucket? wrecked? Just not
interested in it? What color? 

My 4k two-door is a little ratty, but Ive got major plans in the works. The
items listed below I have already aquired, just trying to get time to put
everything together.

*  11" front brakes
*  15" bbs wheels w/205/50/15 tires
*  Bilstien sport struts with adjustable 2 1/2" coil over conversion kit
*  2.0 litre 8v engine (using 16v block--oil sprayers in block for pistons)
*  complete turbo,ex manifold, and intercooler from 5kt
*  2 1/2" turbo-back exhaust system
*  rear disc brakes
*  85 4k complete dashboard
*  custom shift linkage
*  relocated battery (trunk)

I know its no quattro, but I have faith in front-wheel drive. Dodge has
proven front-drive and performance CAN mix--they kicked butt in American
SuperTouring, while it lasted.

One benefit of the manual trans 4k 4cyl is the driveshafts are exactly the
same length, which just about eliminates torque-steer. 

I recently weighed my 4k at a public scale. 2170 lbs!!! (really!) with the
turbo, this thing will be a real screamer.

The 5cyl manifold and turbo literally bolt on. The extra cylinder just
hangs off the rear of the head. I used a small piece of steel to block it
off, and tapped it out for a pyrometer gauge. Anyone interested in this,
feel free to E-mail me.

Anyways, enough about my frankenstein-mobile. Tell me how much you want for
the door panels, the whole door, hell--the whole car!!

Thanks,
Chris Bishop


P.S. I am parting out my 84 5k turbo. The tranny went, and I didn't like it
enough to fix it. Straight body, (grey) tan leather int, power seats, auto
climate control, WHEELS, perfect dash, etc.
