I have a 1985 Black 600 Turbo II that I probably need to put up for adoption. I have owned this car for many years but due to an unexpected life event and a lack of storage space, I think it is time to let her go. I'm almost crying as I type this but, I have let the car sit in my garage the last couple of years and again for the reasons mentioned above maybe it's best to let someone else love her for a while. details: she's a turbo II with the full factory intercooler set up, 2.2 of course and roller rocker angle valve head. She runs great, trany's great but she has sat most of the time for the last couple of years. It is stored inside. I put a new top on a couple of years back and it still looks new. The body is absolutley straight, no rust anywhere, floors trunk all good. The only bad is a few cosmetics. Her paint is badly faded and my son craked the console and the dash panel but both are reapairable. My 12 and 14 year old sons want me to keep her for them but because of space and the fact their mother is no longer around, I think it is time for me to let her go. I hope that someone who wants to keep her and enjoy her will come forward. I wouldn't want someone to take her just to strip her of her motor and part her out. I have lots of spares I have collected over the years that will go with her. She is in Lexington Kentucky. How much do I want? Not sure what she is worth but honestly she's an old Dodge so not much. If the right person comes along, I will make them a great cheap deal.

The trick is paying attention to the flow of the air into, through and out of the radiator and intercooler. There are a number of articles around about how to design cooling systems, read up and do some testing and you might find some ways to make improvements to the efficiency of the entire system. > > Best Regards, > Stefan > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: "Russ W.
