Very nice, Yuca. What all mods has he done to it? Looks good.

I have a friend that had a Chrysler Conquest back in the days of high school. I'll never forget the rainy day I was walking to home, and he turned a corner, and did like 8 donuts right in the middle of the road. That was great.

I like those but they dont have enough leg room. When the seat is all the way back it is still like 6" away from the back seat. My friend had one and I couldnt even drive it because of that, I could barely ride in the passenger seat. Relocate the seat rails and those are about the coolest thing from that era, just beind the TII

My friend had a blue Conquest and he put dual exhaust exiting just in front of the rear wheels, I think he just had a cherry bomb into a y-pipe. That thing was loud as hell!

Replace the head on it with one from a Caravan. Put the Starion valve train on the Caravan head and do some porting while you have it out. The Caravan has no jet valves, on the Starion head those almost always leak oil.

how do the jet valves cause oil to leak?



my coworker has one and claims they just stick open and cause detonation... and the casting sucks so it tends to crack around teh jet valves, apparently he has bolts where his jet valves were.
