hes swapping in an Omni GLHS

[AngryTaco]

I predict hemi that runs low 17's

I am contemplating doing an SRT8 AWD swap into the v8q

Logically

[AngryTaco]

Dont tell me that wouldn't be a completely badass swap. Problem is I dont know of a manual AWD chrysler transmission

I guess I could fab an adapter plate up to an 016 trans

[pilihp2]

That makes less sense than a built 20v.


No.

[AngryTaco]

No.

Why? It would still be a v8q but with a HEMI!!!!

On a down to earth note: I finally picked up a better job over my PT "foo foo" job I've had for the past 5 months. Got into a mechanic shop on basically a whim. I was hired on the spot and told to start first thing in the morning (started yesterday). Basically starting out as a grease monkey, but one of their mechanics is leaving in 2 weeks, so the boss said to plan on bringing all my tools with me after he clears out his area.

FT hourly, damn good starting wage, and they are going to work around school 100%. And I have my Sundays off again. Finally lol!

Awesome life news man, to have your own working bay will get you quite handy in no time, full time work is good.

For your srt8 i am disappoint I was personally expecting 2.5l 20v or a 2.3 AAN from you. Even if you mate up the silly hemi the 016 you'll start exploding it before you even get huuuuuge power.


I like the omni idea + 17's

[DE80q]

Good to hear about the job. Its always nice to have set hours and days.

As for the omni, they were fun, wish the guy down the street from my parents still had his...

As for the new engine build, lets cut him a little slack and see what he comes up with guys. He may be one of the few still trying to get huge power from a 20v, but not the only one running one. I love mine... when it runs

[AngryTaco]

Ill detail the engine build tonight for the 4kq. Just a spoiler but it still is a 20v

[ringbearer]

20v 07k?

[DE80q]

20v 07k?

[alxdgr8]

20v 07k?

[pilihp2]

20v 07k?

With 10 of them welded shut!

Probably still flows better than a mc1.
