AWD turbo Dodge Avenger - Ford Motor Forums

Hi folks, my name is John (silvercoupe97 net wide). I'm obviously new here and I thought to share my ride along with the rest :)
Some of you may know me from the DSM sites I frequent too.
My car started just like any other Avenger.

Then I got tired of the slow poke 6g73 auto that was in it (these cars also came with the 420a).

...the transformation begins in the summer of 2005.

Everything from the engine bay to the interior was gutted to get ready for the new motor and the new transmission.

The transplant begins with a mock up.

Can't forget the manual tranny, transfer case, and drive axle.

...and the LSD 4 bolt rear diff.

After all the mounting and fabbing, the motor came back from the shop and it's ready to be installed.

The final stages.

Done and untuned. Here's an old pic.

...a close up.

What she looks like now...minus the clear parking light in the headlight housing.

This is a somewhat new pic. The difference between today and then is a shiny Forge 1G bov.

Not sure what happened there.
Double post...
Well, I'll make it somewhat useful.
I forgot to add that I have 2G pistons on 1G big rods too.

Sorry BD2. I forgot I had pics and mods list in here too, lol.
I've yet to install mine. I've got enough room in my engine bay to keep the line and pressure delay to an extreme minimum. I just have to fabricate a bracket for the pump and reservoir where the battery used to be (moved to the trunk). I've been procrastinating the install :D

The first Avenger I ever thought was cool (no offense to those who like Avengers) seriously, I really like yours :thumbsup:
