Question 2
would a 350 turbo tranny bolt to a 318 chrysler?...  

Answers
1)   not in stock format.
a few of the many parts that would not be compatible: Flexplate(flywheel) and torque converter, bellhousing, driveshaft.
also, it would require some fabrication/modification for shift linkage, transmission kickdown, and countless other small things that may come up while swapping. - Stephen K

2)   As stated not in stock form, a 999 Torqueflite will bolt up with minimal problems and is as strong as or stronger than the 350 Turbo.

You didn't state the reason for using a 350 Turbo. If you need a replacement transmission for your car or truck stay with a Torqueflite (904, 999, or 727), way less hassle than trying to use another manufacturer's transmission. - Don't know everything !

3)   No, the bolt pattern does not match up. - C-Tech

4)   Absolutely not! - Two Lane. 455 Rocket.

Question 3
what is better a Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger?...  

Answers
1)   300. Hands down. - Gerald E

2)   Mechanically they're the same. Suspension wise the 300 will float a bit more, where the Charger will feel more planted, or sportier if I dare call it that.

Otherwise a new or used 300 will be priced higher than a similar Charger, but in the end you get what you pay for so that choice is up to you. - 360ci

3)   They are basically the same car. - Kenny

4)   The 300 will give you a more comfortable ride, the charger will be much firmer and controlled. - badbill1941

Question 4
Is a black Chrysler 300 with 22 black rims '08 with 60,000 miles on it for 20,000 dollars a good deal?...  Paymets are 400 a month!
Would really like to kno if I got jipped!?
It's in great shape tho!

Answers
1)   No. It's a Chrysler. When you're financing your financing terms matter as much as the negotiation on the sales floor. You got fucked. What's your financing rate?? - Sean S

2)   I think that is a ton of money for a car for a 2 year old car with that kind of miles (regardless of the rims!) - roadrunner426440

3)   If you like the car and feel good about it, then you didn't really get cheated and should just enjoy the car for as long as you want to keep it.

It really depends on what options it has as to what it's worth.

If it's a standard sedan (2.7 liter), you overpaid a bit.

If it's a Touring sedan (3.5 liter), you overpaid by just a little bit.

If it's a Limited sedan (3.5 liter), you paid around an average price.

If it's a 300C with a 5.7 Hemi, you got a pretty good deal.

If it's a 300 SRT-8, you got it at an excellent deal and saved quite a bit.

These are the main items that will affect the value, but you can go to www.kbb.com and input all of your info to see exactly what your vehicle is worth according to them. - Mark B

4)   No, walk away. - C-Tech

Question 5
wire smoking behind glove box 1971 plymouth?...  I have a 1971 plymouth scamp, the wire right behind the glove box is smoking, there are 4 wires connected to this metal plate, the red yellow and black ones go into the same spot on the right of the plate and seem to be fine, the red one next to them on the left smokes when i turn the engine on. All 4 of the wires link up and go off to the left of the car toward the radio but i cant see exactly where. Nothing else appears to be smoking in the car or in the engine compartment. Any idea what the wire is connected to or why its happening? I had an aftermarket stereo put in recently but the kill switch for it was on so im guessing that's not the problem. My profile picture is a picture of the wires, hope it helps. thanks
the wire thats smoking is red the one thats not smoking going to the same spot as the black and yellow ones is green.

Answers
1)   Nothing you can do but trace where the wire is going. If it is going to the radio, unplug it and see if it stops. - Pancakes

2)   Id say the best thing to do is to take out the radio and fallow the wires. Sounds like the wires are getting to hot,and might be melting the casing around the wires and making them smoke. Best to replace them. - Anthony

3)   Slant 6 or 318? Just curious, used to have a '74. Anyway, if you can trace the smoking wire back to the fuse-box, That's what you want to do. Then remove that fuse and see if it still smokes. If not, replace the fuse with a "lighter" one (one with a lower amp rating. That should be stamped on the end) That way the fuse will blow before the wire gets too hot. If it blows out constantly, something is overloading it. A volt/ohm meter comes in very handy for this kind of thing....Can't make out the pic well enough to say for sure what it is. Also, do the same thing with the radio fuse just in case. And get a chiropractor for the stiff neck/back you'll have trying to trace these wires!... Good luck, wish I could be of more help.... - A Nail-Gun Is Not A Pillow
