1947 Dodge WDX Power Wagon. Built as restomod, built from frame off, needs engine and driveshafts and some minor finishing.

Title: Clean PA title
Driveline details: Set up for 360 Chrysler V-8 small block and A518 automatic overdrive transmission. Engine is NOT included. The A518 trans IS included. The transmission has 0 miles on professional rebuild by a local automatic transmission shop, all new wear parts, new torque converter for use with 360 engine, towing shift kit installed, deep sump transmission pan with drain plug installed. The transmission also has a kit installed to operate the overdrive without a vehicle computer. This truck has been retrofitted with Dana axles. Dana 60 front axle, Dana 60 rear axle, 4.10 ratio, disc brakes on the front axle, drum brake on the rear, new brakes all the way around, new wheel cylinders and hardware kits on rear brakes. I have the Warn hubs for the front axle, they just have not been reinstalled. Stock 1 3/4" leaf springs rebushed as needed with bronze bushings, new U-bolts and tie plates. This truck has 8 lug aluminum Vision 19.5" wheels on it with good tires. There is also an extra 19.5 wheel and tire for a spare that goes with the truck. The transfer case in this truck is a divorced NP205, 0 miles on professional rebuild, modified for twin stick operation so the original twin stick shifter can be used. Shifter mechanism is included, as well as motor mounts and transmission mount. So basically, bolt the transmission to a 360 engine, put the mounts on, and it all bolts in fast and easy. Exhaust system is already under the truck for use with small block Chrysler V-8 with stock manifolds.
Fuel system: This truck has a custom stainless steel gas tank built from dimensions of an original steel tank. Brand new VDO fuel sending unit, electric fuel pump not included, but mounting bracket is there under chassis, and a brand new Holley fuel pressure regulator is on the firewall.
Electrical system: Custom aluminum instrument panel, has new speedometer, fuel level, fuel pressure, voltmeter, amps, coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature. There is also a brand new universal harness and fusebox kit installed. All wires are labeled to where they are supposed to go to simplify completion. It is setup with modern blade style fuses. There is also an MSD StreetFire capacitive discharge ignition box mounted in the cab as well as an MSD Blaster 2 coil mounted on the firewall. This system greatly simplifies the ignition wiring circuit, eliminates the need for a ballast resistor, and will work with the stock Chrysler Corp distributor. I will include all the lighting I have for this truck.
Brake system: This truck has been setup with a universal brake pedal kit as well as dual line power brake system. The brake booster is a 7" dual chamber vacuum booster and is rated for a 1 ton truck. It uses a 1 ton GM truck dual chamber master cylinder, also included. There is a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve mounted on the firewall to simplify use and to fine tune braking bias as needed. All you need for the brake system is to make up the steel brake lines.
Interior: Custom diamond plate aluminum interior, needs very minor finishing but all there. I also have the original interior pieces from this truck that are in very nice shape. They can go with the truck if requested as I have no use for them. The seats are original bucket seats for a '78 Dodge Lil Red Express/Warlock. Very nice shape for original, not all tore up, just minor wear. Also included, overhead mounting box for CD player, floor mount emergency brake handle, aluminum floor pans, original transmission tunnel (floor and tunnel bolt in these trucks). Door glass is original and in good useable condition, rear window and gasket are brand new. The windshield frame was perfect with no rot, which is hard to find one in such good shape, it was bead blasted, repainted, brand new glass professionally installed and sealed, brand new windshield frame gasket, original regulator included, regulator still works.
Cooling system: This truck has a brand new aluminum radiator fitted to the original rad support for use with the modern engine. It has a Moroso inline fill neck, as well as a Zirgo 16" reversible electric fan, 3300cfm airflow. There is also an aluminum automatic transmission cooler mounted to the radiator.
Body: Body all done and painted except for the fenders. All sheetmetal was blasted before refinishing. The bed is not an original bed, but was fabricated from 1/8" plate to look like the original bed. It uses the original rear Power Wagon fenders, which are included. They are blasted to raw metal and are in excellent shape overall, would be very easy to finish for installation. The front fenders are also blasted clean with all mounts removed prior to blasting. All parts removed will obviously be included. The front fenders need patches in the bottoms like most Power Wagon fenders do, but it is also an easy fix. The inner fender panels are included and just need paint. The rest of the body is primed and painted Toreador Red, single stage urethane. Two small spots could need touched up on the bed, I have leftover paint I will include. Fabricated steel tailgate, skinned in aluminum diamond plate. Aluminum diamond plate bedrail covers and stake pocket covers. Diamond plate aluminum running boards, polished aluminum battery box.
I have other miscellaneous spare parts that go with this truck to aid completion. Basically, whatever else I have for the truck will be included. I will also include a brand new Saginaw counterclockwise rotation power steering box that is needed for power steering conversion if desired.
There was a lot of work in this truck to get it to this point. All the hard and dirty work has been done, I have just lost interest in the project. This is a very good deal for someone who wants to get into flatfender Power Wagons or someone who knows these trucks and is considering modifying one for everyday highway use. And anyone who knows these trucks knows what it costs to convert these trucks to disc brakes, V-8 upgrade, power steering, and whatever else to operate safely at highway speeds. Seriously interested buyers may contact Matt Maund (724) 554-4372 8AM-9PM EST with questions.

Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
2016 Dodge Viper ACR racks up lap records
Thu, Nov 5 2015With 645 horsepower and an adjustable spoiler nearly six feet wide, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR would look at home on the runways of most any airport, air base, or aircraft carrier in the world. But it's not built for the runway. It's built for the race track. And it has positively mastered them one after another. In fact, the new Viper ACR has not only beat the lap times of its own predecessor as it set out to, but took the production-car lap record at 13 tracks across the country. The endeavor started out at the Inde Motorsport Ranch in Arizona, where development engineer Chris "The Wolf" Winkler set a lap time of 1:33.75 on the Configuration 4 track to beat every other street-legal vehicle to ever lap the circuit. Then it was off to Buttonwillow, the MotorSport Ranch (in Cresson, TX), Big Willow, VIR, Grattan, Pittsburg, GingerMan, the Motown Mile, Nelson Ledges, Waterford Hills, and Road Atlanta. And with the new American Club Racer, Dodge took the lap record at each and every one. The journey culminated just days ago at Laguna Seca, where track expert Randy Pobst climbed into the Viper ACR and set a lap time of 1:28.65. That's 5.27 seconds faster than the previous ACR's time, and 1.24 seconds faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder that held the record until now. The sum total is a bragging-rights sheet of lap records set at 13 tracks across these United States. And you don't have to take Dodge's word on that. The records have been certified by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), cementing the ACR's place in the record books. Nice work if you can get it, and you can scope it out in the video above and press release below.
