Looking forward to it, you do some impressive work.

How familiar are you with engine swaps? :D

V8 engine swaps, pretty familiar. Dodge V8 engine swaps VERY familiar.

lol

What are you thinking of doing?

To be honest Dodgefan I haven't worked on newer stuff, nor V6 cars.

That being said, the best approach would seem to me to get a donor 3.5 car with a good drivetrain if you wanted to do a swap. That would eliminate EXPENSIVE parts chasing. Lots and lots of little parts can add up fast! I've done what I thought were going to be "easy" swaps in the past and they turned into financial nightmares. Nickels and dimes turn into dollars FAST!

I'll look into your thread when I get back in and see if my buddies know anything, a few were Chrysler techs when those Intrepids were new..

Yeah DF, buy a salvage-title 300M that was hit in the ass so hard the windshield popped out. :)

Tossed on the 235/60/15s to see how it sits, I think it's pretty close to where I want it. I'm just gonna rip the rear apart, redo everything I can, and put it back together.

That would be ideal, I'd have all the parts I need and the interior bits to complete my plan. *evil laugh*
