1983 Chrysler fifth ave magnum fuel injection test drive

The first test drive of my 83 Fifth Ave after installing a fuel injected motor from a 1994 Dodge Ram pickup.

I have been driving this car for 3 months now and put over 5000 miles since the motor swap. Everything is still working great. And yes the windsheild has been replaced!

Hey thanks! This is also my first car. I've had it since I was 14 and been improving on it ever since.

[freestylestt]

have you done any 1/4 mile testing on this to see what it can do? it would be interesting to see the difference, even if u just did it at home, and time your 0-60.

[mopardude8508]

lol with the original engine the 0-60 was about 14 seconds. The magnum engine does about 7.3 seconds. Im not sure what the quarter mile time is yet, but ill find out this summer when I get the car back out of storage. Thanks for your interest!

Im diggin on this. How hard was it to put in? Anything I should take note of? And was the '94 drivetrain expensive? I want to do this to my '78 dippy. Damn cool car for sure!

Are you using the 904?

[mopardude8508]

Hey thanks, The engine is a direct drop in with the exception of cutting a hole in the tranny bell housing for the crankshaft position sensor. Other than that just add an electric fuel pump with atleast 40 psi and get a wiring diagram for the computer harness. Im still using the stock 904 tranny with about 140k on it and everything is holding up great! I bought the engine and wire harness off ebay for $500 and it only has 50,000 miles on it. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
