I bought a flaming river unit. I like it but am thinking about switching to power steering. My box only has maybe 200 miles on it. Id be willing to sell it to ya for a good price.
So I was priming my engine since its in the car and soon to be started. I have the oil in the engine and the prime tool in my drill. I start pumping and oil shoots out of the oil press port (stupid me forgot to put it in) hahaha So theres the funny part. After cleaning it all up I start...
I just got mine installed and I have to notch a piece out of the lower support for it to fit under the hood at the height i wanted. But Im not building a show car Im building a street car so Im not worried. That and drilling mounting holes were the only mods that I had to do. The radiator is...

Good looking Valiant buddy. I got my 68 on jacks getting ready for the disk breaks and v8. I have a 4 speed but was thinking about doing the 5 speed down the road. Keep us posted on that trans install.
Today was axle day. Got the 7.25 out and the 8.25 in. :) Went pretty smooth due to the fact that the previous owner swapped out the springs before I bought it. Everything was fresh. Only thing left for the rear axle is mounting the shocks and sway bar. Gotta got make frame mounts for the...
