    66 Plymouth Valiant help!

    Thanks for the chart, forgot about it! I thought about putting a ford rearend in, but ultimately decided that I'll try to keep as much of it mopar as I feasibly can. @ Charlie - So, by happenstance, I was around the front of my car and I saw brake rotor through the poverty rims. I bought the...

    66 Plymouth Valiant help!

    Thanks guys for all of the advice! I was genuinely worried about this, but it doesn't seem so bad now. Looking at the measurement for the A body to B body swap, looks like I'll have just under an inch increase on either side. Doesn't seem bad at all. @ Bonehead - That does sound like a good...

    So I found a 8 3/4 housing for $120. It's out of a 65 Belvedere. I'm guessing I could go and pick up a 489 case, axle shafts, driveshaft, bearings and brakes for 5 4.5?

    66 Plymouth Valiant help!

    Thanks man! I figured the B-Body would be too big. Looking at it, it looks like a 8 1/4 rear end. It's out of a police car with 11" drums apparently. I'm looking at dimensions and it says that 66 A-Body rear ends were 57 1/8" drum to drum. The diplomat is 60" flat drum to drum according to...

    66 Plymouth Valiant help!

    Hi! I'm brand new here. I pretty much joined because I'm in dire need of some help here. I have a 1966 Plymouth Valiant Signet. Since it's Canadian, that makes it a 66 Dodge Dart for you folks south of the 49th. So here's the thing. I'm running a single bowl master with four wheel 9"...
