1965 Valiant 200 convertible (minor project)

By the looks of it, it should be a solid cam if it's stock. The hydraulic cam engine used a different valve cover....one with a notch in it. Anything can be changed or modified though. If it's a stock '65 model, it would have a cable shift 904 with a ball and trunion driveshaft. Those transmissions came with a converter with a small diameter snout that fit into the end of a matching diameter crankshaft register. In '68, Mopar went to the larger diameter snout and matching crank, like what came on 318's and all the big blocks. If you put a big hole crank in a car with a small snout converter, sometimes the converter doesn't get centered correctly causing cracked/broken flex plates and pump failures and/or leaks. There is a bushing available to do the conversion, and hopefully that was done. I've seen a whole lot of them that weren't though. Some worked fine, some kept breaking flex plates. I never attributed one block casting with a particular crank. In the mid 70's somewhere. the slant 6 went from wide rod bearings to narrow ones. I don't think it was block dependent though. I drove a '78 PU 225 with a 435 truck 4 speed and it had a forged crank in it. I don't remember if it had the narrow rods or wide rods, but, those can be changed for whatever crank you want to use.
