Suppose you just won $10,000 from a lottery scratch ticket...What would you do to your car?

[Cranky]

10k wouldn't go to far in my garage, but if given the opportunity to spend it on one car,and overdrive transmission, 4 wheel disc brakes and a set of wheels would chew up 10k pretty quickly.

Well, 10k in late 2021 when this thread was started would buy a good deal more than it will now!!

Engine rebuild to make it a little more pump gas friendly should take care of $10k pretty easily

 

[Black_Sheep]

I’d spend it all on Sunoco 110 and new rear tires…

At this point, I'd still be interested in the power windows.
I'll add to that the roller cam to reduce the anxiety of cam and lifter failures. I still think of swapping in a decent stereo.

Let's see....hmmmm....it IS a Mopar, and a first generation Charger at that....sooooooo...$10,000 huh?....
Obvious! I'd buy two parts for the car!!!

KD, that "rumblin' sound" is the only music We need !!!

I don't mind listening to the engine for local stuff but get on a 6 hour road trip and....it would be nice to have some classic rock from the 60s and 70s to cruise with. I have a stereo but it isn't great. The solid lifter cam makes some valvetrain noise that sometimes gets annoying.

Buy new bucket seats and then......

and if any left over......

....I guess I didn't have as much left over.....damn

#1 A stout 5 or 6 speed O/D conversion $5.5k+
SFI rated bellhousing, flywheel & clutch

#2 a Strange Engineering S-60 Dana, Sure-grip 1350 u-joints/yokes $3k+
or locker, probably 3.73:1 if I went O/D trans,
depending on which final drive gear ratio or low gear ration
used in the 5-6 speed, I want a 10:1 combined ratio in 1st gear
& at engine to trans spinning 1:1 in 4th

#3 option 1 *custom stainless steel ceramic coated headers
conservatively easily $2k+, more like $3k for that
1-7/8" port step to 2" about 12"s down pipe, keep velocity up
headers, upswept & down the back by the firewall
like the old S/S MW manifolds 'but not cast iron'
(clear my rack & pinion & torsion bars)
so no sparkplug interferences & especially make it easy to get to
going into a 2" scavenger collectors 4-2-1 to 3" v-band off the collectors
& add electronic or manual cutouts, depending on room,
add it into my existing full 3" mandrel exhaust
valve checks would be a bit more timely,
you'd need to let the headers cool completely

#4 option 2 **my only other option is a TTI-383178c only one manufactured to fit,
the Unisteer-Rack & pinion/Power, & that's $1,180 before shipping

I'm sure that'd eat $10k+ up easily, maybe as much as $12k after shipping

I would for sure go for the OD transmission etc!!
