Is that a Chrysler 2.2? Looks like top-shelf engineering and fabrication. First crank can be nerve-wracking. Btw- congrats, you have a beautiful car.

That is just a sweet piece of work. Back 1970-71 I was in my freshman year at Lock Haven State in Pa. The dorm daddy had a metallic green one and let me drive it. It was just fantastic to me then. I myself had a 68 Opel Kadet, the one that looked kind of like a baby Mustang. Great fun factor, cheap to run.

@markandsonmetal I knew that 2.4 pistons are a little bit larger then the 2.2/2.0 ones (which have the same diameter as the 2.0 pistons, 93mm, the only difference between 2.0 and 2.2 engines being the stroke on the crankshaft).

@markandsonmetal after all these modifications, you only got 122hp? Ever thought about supercharging it?

Have you thought of a carbon fiber driveshaft for it? PST makes carbon fiber driveshafts. They're out of Florida. They should have some of the best prices around for a quality driveshaft. They quoted me ~$500 for my '94 Mustang.
