This is a 1974 Plymouth Cricket ,it was purchased by my Wife on Oct/3/74 and has been with her since.The car currently is powered by a 1600 cc. engine and a five speed manual trans as per Plymouth specs , it was originally a four speed car , however , this winter it is getting a MAJOR drive train overhaul in the form of a 4.3 Chevrolet V6 , 4L80E four speed auto trans and a 8" Ford rear end . We are also updating the front suspension to a Mustang II set-up. It's been a long time in planning and now that the ball is rolling it is my plan to post updates as the project goes along . these are some pictures of how the car looks now and one of it in it's original color .
Since my last post I have found an alternet route to take with the repowering of the Cricket which doesn't require as much cutting up as originaly planned . I am now going with a 2.6 turbo set-up out of a Mitsubishi Starion , which is pretty much a bolt in and allows me to keep the stock suspension up front and also gives me a 5spd trans to boot . I will still be going with a Ford 8" rear end . Wish me luck !
