luvmopars's 1982 Dodge Mirada

This is my 82 mirada, i paid 750.00 cnd and it needed every thing. it's a v-8 car with a 904 auto trans, but what makes this car really rare is the t-tops.

I still have the original 10 spoke rims but i'm going to get chrome, the white ones where just kickin around. This baby was my daily driver until i got my 1994 Intrepid to better accommodate my family.

I pulled out the tired 318 and stripped it down, to my suprize it was a very worn out 1979 block. I needed a new block so i found a 76 dodge short box with a 318 2bbl.

The 76 dodge was a great donor, i rebuilt the 318 with(.010)bearings,(std)moly rings, double roller chain, 447/455 lift comp cam and lifters, push rods, comp valve springs, edelbrock intake and(600cfm)carb.I found a set 1978 318 4bbl heads and had then reconditioned to keep compression up, i also had cam bearings installed, got the block honed and hot tanked.

All said and done the total was around 1500.00 bucks for the rebuild.I added a msd blaster coil and mopar performance e.c.u (orange box). next up, swap that 7 1/4 rear diff for a 8 1/4 sure grip

Dave nice job. I'm new to the site and excited about getting pulled in. I have two 81's that are identical with the exception of one being a CMX. They are white, on white leather, on white landua with the T-tops. I am starting restoration and am looking for all kind of parts or possibly a part car with tops. Any help you or anyone else can be would really be great. I am looking forward to getting to some of the shows with the cars and turning some heads. Please email me aquadynamics@comcast.net.
