About time you started a thread on this beast, can't wait to see it finished.....
Who could hate 630whp!? Looking forward to the build pics. Will this be raced at all, or has it become too polished and pretty?

This is being built to autocross. No trailer queen here.

Mike, Me either. Are you still building the truck? Do you still have the Dart or did you sell it?

In that case, hurry up! I can't wait to lose to this car.

Yup, still working on the truck, and still have the Dart. Everybody wants it, but no cash out there....

Looks like the 2.4L turbo from the Srt4 Dodge Neon.

That would be correct. The custom badges are a play on words from the srt4

I love it so far! This thing will be killer when you get it done.
Thanks Craig, It has some of your parts on it. I'm using your universal clutch master cylinder, Your push button start and your shift boot.
Still need to get the push button start ordered from you.
So a quick look at the dash. Dakota Digital universal competition analog will monitor the motor. 133546133547133548
As you can imagine using a motor from front wheel drive car and making it rear wheel drive has been trying at times, nothing is bolt on. everything is fabricated. The motor that you see is just a stock take out we are using to get everything mocked up. We had to make everything. from the oil pan to to the intake and exhaust manifolds. We are doing some spray outs tonight to get the color dialed in as close to the rendering as possible. Still a little ways to go before we see paint. But we are close.

What bellhousing and transmission are you using? Also, who makes that seriously wicked merge with the integrated WG port?

Great Mopar build! Any idea on what the weight balance will be? You planning on having it out at some events in 2017?

Very cool.
Love thinking outside of the box.
Thanks Guys, balance will be as close to 50/50 as possible. I will get it on a set of scales in the next couple of weeks to see where I'm at. The bell housing is from a Jeep TJ with a 2.4 non turbo motor. The Transmission is a MA5 from a Chevy Colorado. Be leave it or not it bolts right up to the bell housing. There are couple other guys putting this combo together as well. I have changed some of the things they tried. The flywheel from the Jeep is a dual mass. Pretty much a boat anchor. I sent it off to a place called 10,00 RPM they are building a custom light weight flywheel for me. And setting up a dual disc clutch.

That's just cool!
Just about finished with mock up of everything under the hood. A few things left to do. But getting closer.
