Hi from Argentina!!
The Dodge 1500 is the Hillman Avenger that has been made and sold in Argentina (my country) from 1974.
I really like how the car looks and the meaning of being made in Argentina, so i decided to get one of them, and "upgrade" it to race 1/4 mile.
Every mod in this car has been made by me and a friend.
It has it?s original engine, but with forged pistons, turbo, and a megasquirt EFI system.
Last Saturday we started the engine after 4 years of work, and i want to share it with you.
Link to the engine (just started, we still need to set a lot of things)

Welcome to the forums!

Nice work! Very nice manifolds.
Welcome to the forum.
That looks really nice. I love what you have done with the engine and turbo.
The dashboard looks like it will be cool once you have finished it.
I like the back end of the Dodge 1500, they have changed the boot slightly, the boot look a little taller than the Hillman/Chrysler. Looking up the specs the Dodge 1500 is 150mm longer also. It looks like the swage line over the back wheels looks a bit more pronounced on the Dodge 1500.
