    That car is pretty plain Jane, and not well kept, so most likely original. I wish I took some pics, but it must have been that blah, that I passed up the opportunity.

    No you're not going blind, it is a 3.6 with the trash can lid... Really wish I cleaned it before I took those pics. Normally you can eat off the engine bay.

    This looks great, except you are losing power and mileage with this hot air intake system. :)

    Was it transplanted from something you already owned? Would like a pic of more than the engine bay!

    This is the engine compartment on my 15, 5.7, see not a lot o stickers, I also took the center badge plastic piece on the cover, off. I covered the fuel lines w/high heat rap its cloth like, silver. The washer cover says R/T on it and of course the Mopar on the brace and the catch can, those are metal badged. It’s clean and simple, I have a ported throttle body from Boosted motor sports and a hellcat airbox w/ K&N. I own 392 exhaust manifolds, Im going to install. I have a 3” stainless cat-back on there now. Note the Last Call badge in the factory position. I like the history aspect of these cars and Chrysler in general so.......
    Also no smog and A/C stickers yet, have replacements but where? I guess the factory position too. IMG_0145 2.jpeg
