These cars definitely do exist. From what I found, in
1991 the IROC and Shelby differed only by their
powertrain. The IROCs were V-6 cars and had the 16"
pumper wheels on it. That means they had CS
centercaps, so the Shelby logo AND IROC logo were on
the same cars in 1991 as well. But seeing th
I strongly agree with Bob on the TBI gas mileage.
I've had a few over the years and they'd suck gas to
beat hell. My Turbos would consistently get four mpg
better and have 50% more power.
On a road trip with steady speeds under 60 mph and
such, the TBI could get some good mileage. But unless

I agree with about only two cars on there. The Aztek
and that Citroen thing. Its all a matter of opinion,
but put the darn VW beetle and the VW new beetle on
there!
What about the AMC Eagle? So what? All station
wagons from the 80's looked like that. Its just a
typical 80's looking car. And
I am no Shelby Dakota expert by any means, but I agree
that it is a Shelby clone vehicle. The VIN matches a
3.9L powerplant. I wonder if the rest of the body
panels had VIN stickers on them?? But, the weird
thing is the emissions label showing a 5.9L engine.
Thats weird. Dakotas never came wit

Actually, every 782 casting head I had apart had oil
squirters in the cam caps. Of course, they were later
models and had roller cams and followers. Some years
did not have them, but all mine did.
I haven't had one of these engines apart for a few
years now--I honestly haven't paid much attentio
Nine years ago (approximately) I designed a rear brace
for a G-body. Although quite crude since my
fabrication skills and equipment were not so good, the
design had great potential.
The design bolted to where the rear seat latch striker

Sadly, none of the turbo Chrysler cars are of much
value. The only ones I would pay substantial amount
of $$$ for is one that is really rare and/or very well
preserved and/or has undergone extensive rennovation.

I have venolia pistons in my 2.5L with .007"
clearance, so I have that noisy diesel engine effect,
too. Though most noticeable at idle, the noise
doesn't go away all the sudden, but yes, it does go
away somewhat with higher RPM. On mine, 3000 seems to
be where its at.

I had this problem just last year. It made a
horrendous racket when I'd push the clutch pedal down,
and when I released the clutch, it was quiet. But
once the engine was warmed up, it would never make any
noise. It just goes to show how much .002" of
crankshaft endplay can make a difference and
$175 is insulting. Seriously. A complete rust-free
GLH for $500 is as good as it gets for a poor person's
hot rod.
I can open the local newspaper right now and find
advertisments in the "vehicles wanted" section and
they'll give $250 cash for junk cars as is and they
come to pick it up.
I would really like a hood for a '92-'93 Daytona.
Over the years there have been several group buy
attempts but we could not get enough people together
to git r dun.
I am finally in a position now where I can pony up the
cash for such an item, but I want the hood to bolt on

Does it do it on hot starts or cold starts or both?
If its cold starts only, I'd suspect ignition components. Drench them with
water and note any difference and drench them when the engine is warm, too.
Wetting the ignition components should have zero effect on how it runs. If it
does, there
I am willing to bet that the CHECK GAGES light only comes on at idle--more
specifically, hot idle. Just touch the gas and it'll go out. If so, the oil

The U-joint's 85% power transfer efficiency seems to be stretching it quite a
bit. I would agree with it if the joint was at a far more substantial angle,
but in this application, the joint is virtually straight and not doing much if
anything. 15% is a HUGE loss.
Also agree about the equal le
I swear it is the same website that listed these engines as the top 10 worst
and now they're saying it is great.
I highly doubt the editors ever drove one of these cars or even saw one up
close in person to see what they had to offer.

I have no answer to the shifter passing the position where it is supposed to
be, but since most synchronized manual transmissions work in a very similar
fashion, I can say with experience that a transmission that is low on oil can
just decide to almost randomly pop out of gear. Had this happen
