1966 valiant worth getting a 230 (or 240 can’t remember the numbers)

I have a 903 behind the stock slant in the same car as yours. That non-synchro first gear is the only can't-stand-it thing about the car. I will swap in a 230 and beat the tunnel if needed, or if my four-on-the-tree idea pans out, it will get an 833 OD with the same tunnel beating.

I don't think it's even enough to warrant "beatin on" as it does actually fit, width wise. There's just not enough room to attach the shift rods to the levers. That would be easily over come with a port a power.

The biggest issue I think it where it hits the center of the top of the tunnel above the cross member. the cross member lacked like 1/2" or so from lining the bolts up. I "guess" you could mod it so the mount sits lower in the cross member, but then you're messin with the drive line angles. I should have taken pictures and detailed it more. I'm sorry I didn't. I just wanted my little junk back on the road.

I might be gettin ready to put it down again and if I do, I'll detail it more in depth then. We'll see.
