While I was building my Hemi Mirada 5 years ago, I had some friendly conversation here regarding my choice of RMS AlterKtion front suspension. Needless to say, there were a few "mixed reviews", mostly relying on speculation, as nobody had installed this suspension in our cars. I promised I would...

I just picked up a 98 Dakota low mileage 3.9 Magnum drivetrain to put in my son's 81 CMX. I plan on using all of the electronics, etc. I'm thinking about a turbo setup or supercharger. Has anyone here boosted a 3.9 Magnum, and if so, what parts did you use? There don't seem to be a lot of...

87 Chrysler fifth avenue

Just got back from a great show at Carlisle. Miradas showed well, in a small but competitive class. Kevin's beautiful 360 four speed Mirada took first in class, the Hemi Mirada took second and Joe Jr's took third. Not bad for the red-headed step-children of the Mopar world!

My son's 81 Mirada was an original slant six car, but the previous owner somewhere along the line replaced the factory engine with a mid-sixties 170 slant six. The casting number, 2463230-2 seems to indicate post '64 production. The stamping, EW170R 2869 0075 is a little more obscure. The W...

Anyone going to Mopars at Lebanon Valley today? I'm leaving in a few minutes, should be there by 10:00.

Anyone have a Mirada passenger door they're willing to part with? My son's has some rust issues on the bottom. It can be fixed, but I'd rather just replace it if possible. It just has to be a clean shell. Thanks!

Is anyone going this year?

Well, we had another great time at Carlisle. The drive there was challenging, and the drive home was just as challenging, but the show was great as usual. Joe Jr's '81 Mirada CMX won a celebrity's choice award, and my Hemi Mirada placed third in class. Kevin's beautiful '80 Mirada placed second...

Well, Joe Jr. got his driver's license today. Now we have two weekends left to finish his car. With any luck, he'll be parked right next to me at Carlisle!

I just got my new plate.

Has anyone had any luck using aftermarket rubber seals to replace Mirada qrtr window weatherstrips? I'm looking for something to replace the vertical seals that seal between the qrtr window and the door window, part numbers 4136194 and 4136195. I've found a few NOS ones, but they're very...

So, I was out over the weekend in the Roadrunner and today in the Hemi Mirada, looking for a sucker to educate, but nobody would bite. It seems today's tuner owners are getting smart to our game. I think it's time for something different. I'm thinking an 89ish Dippy, 6.4 Hemi, T56, in a mundane...

Who's going to Carlisle this year? It would be fun to meet more members there!

Happy Easter to all of my Mopar brothers and sisters! It looks like a nice day for a cruise!

I guess I was wrong about Mopar Action. I guess they are interested in J Bodies after all. The Hemi Mirada R/T is in the April issue, coming out this week.

Does anyone know if somebody makes pre-bent fuel and brake lines for a Mirada? My son's car could use both, and in my old age I've become a little lazy. It's just a little easier that making them myself, and usually looks better.

My new parts Mirada CMX. 66000 miles on 318 drivetrain. Floors and frame rails are very rusty, so I don't think it will end up being saved, unless I can find a cheap set of frame rails and maybe floor pans. Or I can always builds a 9 second chassis car.

Does anyone know where I can get the donut gasket for the fuel filler neck? I'm starting to build my son's CMX, and I bought him a new tank, so I'd like to use a new gasket if possible.

Anyone going to Mopars at E-town?

So, my son was reading my thread about my next project, and he gently reminded me that his Mirada is next on the list. Seven years ago, I bought an 81 CMX, sight unseen, from an e-bay seller, who agreed to deliver the car to me. I was planning on using it as a parts car, as that's how it was...

OK, I'm feeling a little bored. I'm looking for ideas for my next project. Any suggestions? You have to whisper, though. If my wife hears me talking about a new project, she probably won't be amused.

Talk about cutting it close. I installed the Paramount Performance stage II valve body today, did some Hypertech tuning, and took her for her first extended test drive. She handled great, had plenty of power, shifted well and even took a young man in a Mustang to school! Now she just needs some...

I'm looking for a set of power window regulators to convert my manual window Mirada to power. I don't need the motors, but the regulators have to be in working condition. Thanks!
