    WANTED Schumacher /6 to 318 swap or V8 K frame

    I'm looking to swap a 318 into my slant 6 Volare and need the Schumacher kit or a V8 K frame to do it. Anyone have either for sale? Ideally the swap kit. Thanks!

    WANTED Volare /6 to 318 swap mounts OR V8 K frame

    Finally pulled the trigger on picking up a 318 for the ol Volare roller thats been in the driveway for 4 years. Went to order swap mounts from Schumacher and in the time since I last considered the swap theyve all but gone out of business! So if anyone has the mounts and theyre looking to sell...

    Broken Spoiler

    So, funny story. Selling a riding lawn mower on Facebook that I got for free. Guy sees my Volare in the background and asks if I need any parts to trade. Mopar guy. I tell him Im looking for a roadrunner spoiler and some odds and ends. He just so happens to have a 3 piece in the garage! Well...

    Volare mini-update

    Its been a while since Ive checked in concerning my 80 Volare. Last time I posted about it, the engine had a (suspected) rod bearing failure. That was very much so the case. After tearing the engine down and finding 2(!!) spun rod bearings and a ruined rod, I heehawed around for a few months...

    WANTED Looking for Cordoba 5-on-5 center caps

    Picked up a decent set of Cordoba alloys on the cheap and they need center caps. Anyone have any lying around? Im looking for the Chrysler branded ones rather than the Cordoba ones since theyre going on a Volare. Thanks ahead of time for keeping an eye out! Like this: Pretty good deal for $100

    Little update on my 80 slant

    So, I finally had it all put back together and had it tuned just right and I have reason to believe I spun a bearing. Literally like 2 weeks later. Im sure the 3 speed non-overdrive and the 373 gears had the thing very high strung on the highway, which didnt help. It suddenly started knocking...

    1bbl Slant 6 surging at highway speeds

    Finally got my Volare back on the road and driving on the highway has become a pain. It drives smooth up until about 65-ish and then surges and vibrates like crazy until I let off the gas and it smooths right out. I can watch my gas gauge go down as it happens which kind of points me towards a...

    Jeep Liberty 8 1/4 rear swap

    It seems a few of you are interested in the details of this swap so I figured Id write up a bit of a walkthrough. I have no record of any measurements or anything, so this is more of a proof of concept. It can, in fact, be done for less than $400. Bear in mind that none of these pictures were...

    WANTED Looking for OEM 1 piece spoiler

    Im looking for an OEM 1 piece spoiler with intact mounting hardware for my Volare. From my understanding, the aftermarket fiberglass ones have fitment issues.

    Speedo gear housing swap

    I recently rolled an 04 Jeep Liberty 8 1/4 rear diff (disk brakes and 3.83 gears!) under my 80 /6 Volare. As some of you may know already, the F-body speedometer gear/housing is completely different than the old design and a bear and a half to get different gears for. So I swapped for the old...

    Volare emblem "barrel clips"

    I recently cleaned up a set of older metal emblems to replace the worn plastic ones on my 80 Volares fenders. I was wondering what size barrel clips these emblems take? And is there any issue with switching from plastic to metal? The pegs seem to line up well enough.

    Finally decided to register

    Ive had my slant 6 Volare for about a year now - 2 if you count the year it belonged to my ex and I cared for it, and Ive ended up back at this site numerous times. I figured I might as well take the plunge and sign up! Lately Ive been freshening it up for cruising season. I rebuilt the carb...
