Hmm well I am not a gbody expert but I could have sworn that I read about
problems with t-top cars flexing too much.
Perhaps someone else can confirm that I am not crazy... (or perhaps not)

Get the tranny if it is a stick. If it is a newer van it should be a 568
otherwise it willb e a 555. I think the auto tranny is a little better
than the car a413s but they are still pretty common.
The engine is the same as the regular turbo 2.5.

I would suggest runnign just normal 5w30 motor oil or a MTX oil such as
redline MTX.
There is some concern about whether the synthetic is too slipery for the

IMO The best mod for the car is to pull all of the carb stuff off and swap
it to TBI fuel injection. I did this on my 87 Turismo and it was a much
much more reliable car. It no longer stalled when cold and it ran much
more smoothly. It wasn't however a big power boost. It was a lot of

For the dash harness you can use any 87 charger/omni harness. Everything
is there for the turbo!
I think 85 and 86 will also work but I am less sure about those years.

The Mopar 2.2/2.5 Performance book is a decent read if you are just
getting into these cars. It hink the 4th edition is the latest.

Napa oil is also made by valvoline... 5w30 is the best and cheapest
choice.
The only other good option that I have used is redline MTL (which is made
for manual transmissions) but it will cost 4x more.

It causes problems with the synchros because it is too slipery and doesn't
allow them to work properly.

You can use 5th gear from a 520 if you also chnange 5th gear on the
mainshaft. 5th gear is the only one you can change though because it
isn't an integrated part of the main shaft.
How did you break 5th? That is the one that usually takes the least

They are all compatible.
You can also use the newer style PT cruiser lash adjusters if you get a
spacer washer for them. They are a hair shorter than the 8V lifters but
if you just shim them with a hardware store washer they work perfectly.
They are actually a better lifter because they don
There is a pad that the glass slides against that can be adjusted to fix

Your best bet is to find a charcoal set from a regular charger in a

Early or Late 85 head bolts?
the early ones were 10mm which is probably most of the 85's but I am
pretty sure some of them were 11mm bolts.
I have a set of 11mm head studs that were used for about 100 miles before
I head a an oiling issue and decided to build a 2.4 instead.

What car is the shifter from? Did you mix and match Neon parts with your
523 parts?
The Neon has shorter shifter cables which won't work and the shifter
sometimes needs to be tweaked slightly when using 523 cables.

The SRT4 can use the 89-94 non vented rotors but the 89-94 cars can't use
the SRT4 rear rotors directly unless you put a 1/8" spacer between the
rotor and hub. Without the spacer the SRT4 rotor (or any neon rotor) is too

and hits the 89-94 backing plate.
One other method I have found is
Rockauto has them but I am not sure of the quality.
One of the Neon/SRT4 cables is a direct replacement and the other has the

It would be possible to cut the ends off from Neon or other cables and
then thread the shafts for rod ends. That way we can use cables from
newer cars
