I have read in several places that Chrysler had some Daytona "mules" running around Detroit back in the day that were powered by the 3.3. It was supposed to be an optional engine for the last two model years of Daytona production. This, of course, is pure conjecture at this point. I have not personally seen any real evidence of this except one item of interest. I was an engineer at Chrysler in the early nineties. I had access to the Chrysler "vault" of software for programming EEPROMS for engine and transmission controllers. Among the few interesting files there were a 2.5 Turbo II (North American), a 3.3 (G body), 3.3 Shelby Can Am, Dakota 2.5 Turbo I, and a few others. I sure wish I had downloaded these files back then. Of course, it would have jeopardized my job. But, looking back - it was right there. I am sure all of it still exists somewhere.
I would personally love to have a 3.8 with a five speed in a Daytona or Shadow. I saw the 3.3 Can Am cars run once at a track and they were really impressive. This, at least to me, would be much more desirable than a twin engine setup, as I still use my Turbo Dodges for daily duty. Greg K.
