My dad has a 1983 dodge challenger that will most likely be passed on to me. Its a mitsubishi motor, but im not sure what it is (Engine Code) or what other cars this motor was used in. If anyone can help thanks

Pro's: somewhat dependable, make good power with turbo, ok on gas.
Con's: oil leaking bitch, jet valves, timming chain and guides always need replaced, and it used to cost a small fortune for parts. Alt's were like $500, starters $300, 10 years ago.

True, shifter bushings cost a ton, hehe. Whats the deal with the jet valves my bro tried explaining them to me but didnt work, since he doesnt totally understand them either. I'd love to turbo this little thing but its carbuerated, so wouldnt be to efficient but would still be fun
Jet valves had something to do with emmisions....i think. They are somewhat of a mystery around here too as to their primary function. Some tech's have said that they can be removed and plugged off. I dunno for sure, I do know they were used mostly on Cali. and high altitude american motors. And about all Jap 2.6L's
