[Flicktitty]

Whats the plans for it?

Judging by the pics it's got a cage so i'm geussin a drag car?
or just a safly designed street car?

[Russ Jerome]

Tube framed back halfed drag car for IDW, the sheetmetal was a
Toyota Starlet but thats about all thats left of it is the outer tin.

[WhatsADSM]

Wow... Looks really good.

Forgive the ignorance but is that the 2.4 head from the SRT-4, or from the earlier dodge vehicles with the N/A 2.4l?

Later 2000+ SRT4 2.4 valve cover modified to bolt to an earlier style
pre 1999 2.4 NA head. You can see the oil drain holes hanging off the
early style 2.2/2.5 block with the MLS headgasket, they are plugged
on the head and use those external -10 fittings to the pan.

Same setup as my Omni used:

Only difference is the orientation of how I made that intake for FWD.

[srt4eh]

[Russ Jerome]

T-3/4: 60 full size E wheel on the cold side. .63AR stage 3 hot side.
Little small for present application but was hell on wheels on a smaller
2.2 lower end...........2.5 and a LOT more air flow should rocket thru
the 330' mark.

I need more side jobs and metal work :)
