Restoring a 86' Dodge Power wagon

Suicidex55 · July 18, 2009

Ok, well I have this dodge power wagon im going to restore it .I have took the old engine out, It was a old 318 in it ,swaped it with a 72' dart. I got a new edelbrock carb. a new MSD ignition and a distributor cap to eliminate the computer in it. Right now Im spending half my time in the junkyards finding parts for the truck and making new friends with some snakes. I got 3 doors, west coast mirrors for it I riged up some cab lights, made my own Western star mud flaps, and I found some ramcharger fenders im going to get and wheel wells. I got some bumper that I got. More to come!

Very nice :D. I look forward to future updates on the restoration :) and I hope you have fun with it when it's done :).

Suicidex55 · July 18, 2009

Thxs, I am really looking foward to it.

Looks like you have a really nice spacious place to work on it too. :)

Paint it yellow and black and write TONKA across the back! No? Ok then... :lol:

I think you should either put side-exit exhausts on it or exhaust stacks up the back of the cab though, RAAAWR!

Holy cow is that intimidating or what?!

iLLGT3 · July 18, 2009

That'll be a sick resto. Can't wait to see the results. :)

I Like The Way You Think :). I love the power wagon,and if i ever find a scrap one for really cheap i think i might buy one :)

Any chance of putting in a 5.7 Hemi or 6.1 in those things? I would have said 426 but thats far too rare :p

Suicidex55 · July 19, 2009

You got the money! Hahaha I will.

iLLGT3 · July 19, 2009

Put a 5.7 LS1 in there. Even though it's a GM motor, it sure pulls hard. And there are plenty of mods to go along with it too.

He could get a 5.7 Hemi which is better, it can also get up to 390HP without mods(If he got it from the Ram)
