So I have trolled the site for a long time. I am finally doing the turbo build on my 64 Dodge Polara. I am the second owner of what was a completely original stock 383 car. I have been going to town on the car for a couple years to get to this point.


Here is what is done so far
AJE Tubular front end with coil overs and rack and pinion power steering
Wilwood disc brakes all the way around with hydrboost
Moser fabricated 9 inch with wavetrac diff
American racing 17x10.5 rear wheels with 325/40/17 M&H drag radials
American 17x8 with goodyear 245/45/17 radials
Phoenix built 4L80 transmission and custom converter with a Fast EZTCM
Ron Francis wiring with push button start
The car is mini-tubbed with the leaf springs moved in.

The new motor is being built by Performance Werks Racing in Alabama
It is a 392 cubic in Gen3 hemi with 9.8:1 compression
It will have the new Thitek aftermarket heads with dual springs (400ish CFM)
Main studs, Head studs, cometic gaskets and all other top notch goodies
I will be running a single 76mm Precision Turbo with an intercooler (undecided on what type)
I am using 6.4 jeep manifolds turned forward to feed the turbo. (heads are dual pattern allowing this)
Small sleeper style cam 227/235 with .600 lift on a 11 LSA. It should idle like a bone stock new hemi


So as you can see I am off to a pretty good start.
I am still undecided on the rear suspension. It has caltracs on it now.
I am still undecided on the computer, it may be a stock 05 computer or a FAST XFI.
I put a summit digital dash in the car, but I think that will be swapped out for a racepak here shortly.

 

Here is a picture for those who are curious of what it looks like now

Allways loved the old Polaris.You will love turbos dude.What paint did you use on the outside?Almost looks spray rubbercoat.

 

It is plasti-dipped. Eventually I will repaint the car. That was a cheap easy way to make it look a little sinister. It will probably end up back white and as sleeper'ish as possible

 

Look what showed up today

Your Polara looks great. Keep up the good work!

 

Got the ecu today. Holley really does a good job with there new efi setup. If you haven't checked out the dominator setup you should.

I love the stance. Car looks sinister. I always appreciate the lesser known body styles done well.

 

Gen3 motor is going in for mock up. Should be ready to start fab on the turbo monday

Looks great, some big money and potential power in this project..

 

Got the motor in and mounted today.

Lots of room for the turbo

Or is that just an illusion until you get all accessories mounted...

 

Nope, the accessories only stick out a couple inches from the motor, there is a TON of room. I got the 6.4 jeep manifolds turned around and sat on there last night.....they fit! so tweak will be needed here and there, but I think I am home free on that part of it

 

I love new GEN III Hemi designs, it looks as if they were built for these cars. I am thinking of moving to a new generation Hemi in an A-body of some sort for my next project.

 

Today's update. Lots of fitting
