Hello,
I just got this car and am figuring to learn some facts about it. My plans are as follows: 12 volt conversion, engine swap, roof chop, some slight body adjustments, and new gearing. So I figure the first thing I'm doin is the 12 volt conversion cause my only workspace is a tempo in the middle of winter. Anybody who has worked on one of these regents care to help a fella out? I basically know next to nothing about this car so every little bit helps. ie:Engine swap capabilities (can I mount any year chrylser into this regent?) I know all the Chryslers/Dodges through the 50's had the same 25" block but am wondering the one with the most power, or if I can easily mount in one of the V8's that were offered in this line. Also any sort of checklist for a 12 volt conversion would be real helpful, cause I'm not too sure what parts go with this engine easy. Must be a pain havin a new fella like me come into the forums huh? hahaha. I'm real good with body work so I am more than happy to share any knowledge needed with any and everybody.
Hope you're all havin a Merry Christmas!
