Re: 1988 Lebaron

well, the engine will work if you're willing to swap in the electronics for it and find a tranny and cut up your firewall and build a tranny box and find a rear end and build a suspension (maybe cut up a pinto and weld it onto your lebaron). not very practical, cheap, or easy though. best left to the experts. what IS doable, is to find a donor chrysler/dodge turbo car and swap engine/tranny/wiring harness/computer in. of course, it makes even more sense to sell your lebaron and just buy a turbo lebaron that runs. if you want to keep your lebaron, and keep it n/a, you can do a couple of things, but nothing major helpful. get an underdrive pulley, a k&n air filter, a 180 thermostat, freer flowing exhaust, and bump the timing up a few degrees. after that, it gets difficult.
