My Turbo Aries Wagon Project

Well progress was pretty slow as the racing season was busy in November and having to work 6 days a week. Got off work around 1 PM today so got a little more work done:
So far from this:


To This:






Cut the exhaust off, the cat should get me between $30-$50 back on my initial investment.

Also been working on my Dakota heart, a 5.9 with R/T heads, Comp cam, and a 750 Demon carburetor and getting some Hooker headers after Christmas. Putting a 727 and an 8" converter behind it.:eyebrows:

 

Lookin' like a wild setup already!

 

I like those K cars and those 2.2 turbo engines! Good on ya!

 

This is a Modification I agree with, years ago I got to drive a Shelby Horizon Turbo ( I thought all these little Nopars were junk at the time) and I have to admit....Holly Sh** I was impresed. You sir will/do have that sleeper

 

Yup....they were always a real sleeper, Fat. Especially the woody wagons!

 

Oh yeah....just that infamous blown head gasket....allways in the same spot weather it be a Turbo, EFI, carburated or in a lawn mower (Just kidding) . 9.5 x out of 10 blown in the EXACAT same spot.

None the less they did go like...*********


EDIT, let me add to this...IMO they are prone to head gasget faiure, and CV joints failure but MAN I Would Love one like this because you WOULD blow the minds of alot of drivers when it comes to this combo in a wagon but you have to expect the fact nothing lasts fore ever. I'd love to drive a Tubo wago like this for a time, the ultimate Under Dog!!

 

Thanks for the kind words. I made a lot of progress last Saturday, none of it really picture worthy. This is my third "built by me" turbo Mopar. The first being a Plymouth Horizon which was never factory turbo'd but was the sister car to The GLH-T Omni's. The second was a 93 Shadow convertible which has donated a lot of parts to this one. I'm hoping Sunday I can get to my storage unit and get my injector harness and alternator harness to finish that part iof the install. I need to install the coil, shorten the light harness since it came from a turbo minivan its a little longer than I need. Also need to lengthen the wiper and washer pump harness. I'm going to run all new aluminum fuel lines and then redo the brake lines.

 

Ok I don't get down to this section alot. Hell I was just summoned down here yesterday. But my question is shouldn't this thread be up in the general wagon discussions area? Seems a shame to build sucha cool build way down at the bottom like this. Keep up the good work and keep us informed.

 

For SURE! Stick has it right. This needs to be moved.

 

I 3rd that emotion! Maybe Cappy was being too humble... It should be front and center up there.

 

LOL, thanks guys. I just wasn't sure where to put it. On my other forum we have a project logs section that these builds get posted. Tell me who to ask and I'll PM them.

 

Wagonmaster. He owns and runs our great forum.

 

PM sent. We'll see where it goes!

 

Cool, thanks.
