Subing a Neon


99 Neon R/T

Has anyone ever heard of putting a frame and solid rear end under a Neon and making a V8 dragster out of it?I have seen it done once and didn't get a chance to talk to the guy about all he had to do but it was kinda weird seeing a Neon pull the front wheels 2 feet off the ground.I am just looking for some ideas.I Figured a 318 should do the trick.

Why not?You did read my signature line didn't you?Actually in addition to my 99 Neon I have a 97 that was a donor car and I am just looking for something different to try.You can turbo a Neon,thats easy but how many people do you know that have a rear wheel drive small block V8 in a Neon?Not many I am looking for the right frame right now and when I get home I am going to start all the sheet metal work.

So why not do something that noone has done yet, that way you are original instead of just rare :biggrin:

I am open to suggestions.Maybe a 4x4 Neon on 33's or something,I am pretty sure no one has done that yet.

There is only so much you can do with a car before it gets gaudy and ridiculous.Maybe I should just scrap the idea all together and haul the car to the crusher.
