Wow... this is the exact car I used to dream of... too bad it has a 7 bolt.

well my 7bolt has had no problems, doesnt burn a drop of oil, no signs of crankwalk, runs great, in fact runs oddly great for whats done to it

I'm not saying its bad, but I just don't like any chances at things going wrong. I'm worried more about reliability than speed.

Not trying to step on any toes, but if you look around on some dsm forums there have been more 6bolts CWing rather than 7's. What a lot of people don't take in to consideration and realize is that EVERY motor is proned to crankwalk, some more than others.


Also a lot of it has to do with the years of 2g's. The 2gA's (95-96) Are a lot more proned to CW rather than the 2gB's (97-99) Theres a myth that when Chrysler took over, there was a bad batch of cranks that escaped due to faulty tollerances when machining the crank and which Chrysler caught this in the 2gB's.

My DSM has 170k and is flawless, getting it rebuilt right now and there was no need to have the crank turned, the journals were great, and had 0 signs of crankwalk with 300whp daily driven for over 50k Food for though
