As for resale, again guys who want this, would seldom consider resale as part ofthe equation. There aren'tmany who will throughthat kinda money at a few years of street fun.

Yet your end product would be more sensible than the original factory NA with the V6.

I'm sure the V/8 is where the Crossie model mighthave gone had Chrylse/Diamler continued.

So, I guess what I am saying is this is a fairly empty rabbit hole. I would advise you chase it for fun, not profit, as well.

BTW I have a great interest but no funds. I am sure I am not alone there.

Agreed on all points Franc. The chase started originally as fun, now I want to make the transition of hobby to business and enjoy what I do for a living.

That's an idea. When I jump to the next motor I was already planning on selling the current V8 as a whole, crosssfire compatible with a coded ECU...

Now the only problem with the kit is the motor mileage, shipping all of it, and coming up with good enough instructions lol.
