Thread: L300 suspension into 36 dodge

Tweet

Have booked into our local suspension expert to get it checked but it looks like camber and caster will come up ok amd bump steer shouldn't be a problem as those mitsubishi springs are very firm as standard. I will keep you informed. Engine will be a 4 litre lexus v8, vvti version with modest 290 hp, runs a 5 sp auto box

After living through the trials & tribulations that jb has had on his school bus converted to RV, getting it certified safe and road worthy over in NZ we know that it can be a challenge in that part of the world if your regulations are the same or similar. Best of luck with the process, and we'd enjoy seeing pictures of the progress as you can. There's a "sticky" thread at the top of the "Shop Talk" forum section if you need any guidance there.

Karoonga,,the L300 swap isn't done anywhere near as often as the L200 ute front end,here in NZ..In fact,,the thing to do with those,is the L200,with the L300 rotors,etc,which is a bolt on,for the bigger brakes.. They ''fall'' under a great number of vehicles here,in fact..A real easy job..Also,,the L200,pre 1991,I think,is the better unit,as it fits under a 33/34 Ford chassis without mods..Should go under the 36 Dodge as easy.. As a point to note,Roger,and Tech,,our little L200 Mitsubishi ute,was marketed,I think,in the US,,as a Dodge,,but can't remember what it was called up there..
