1992 Dodge Shadow

GRIGGS · 08-16-2009, 07:15 AM

Just wondering if this particular car would be able to run in stock. 1992 Dodge Shadow with the front drive v-6. 3.0 litre I believe. Girlfriend just got a new Honda and Dad and I are just a little curious about if it could first run in stock and second possibly be competitive. Thanks in advance.

Yes. They should work. Cliff Sebring from Forward Motion played with one (not a real effort) and had it going 1/2 second under in the summer.
The bad part is there is absolutly no support system (except for the trans). You have to do it all from scratch.

What class would it fall into.

Look it up. It used to run E or F before they changed the classes

A '92 Shadow with the 3ltr. V6 is rated at 141/145hp. It is a natural DF/S (20.19) car and must weigh 2925 as an automatic and 3025 as a stick. The index is 15.90 for DF/S. Good luck! Jim

Should work good as a D except the engine and ECU will be expensive as Art said, no parts.
I looked at that combo before but kept my 2.5 Turbo.

Not trying to discredit Art or the other gentleman, but the underground following of the 3.0 cars has made advances since Cliff's car. Snoop around on turbo-mopar.com there is a lot of knowledgeable people over there on the Mitsu motors.

This guys thread while not legal for a stocker for obvious reasons sheds some light on the potential and strengths of the motor. He's also very knowledgeable on the powerplants:
