Years of lurking, what the heck...

All did not go well.

I'm going back to looking and hope to score an earlier model, 68-72 Valiant, sedan, 318/auto. Will swap in an EFI 318 and 44RE from a late 90s Dakota or Durango, upgrade the rear axle to something stronger, and make the dash cluster look a little more retro and then make it fit.
