1968 Plymouth Valiant First Gen HEMI

".......The customer that brought the Stage 1 Hemi for mock-up brought a set of shorties with him.....and promptly took them home. For what its worth they were not very compatible / applicable to our A bodies....."

Good to know Denny, thanks. I do have a question though, is the engine your putting in a 392 or the shorter deck 331/354?

Not optimal but I do have a couple pairs of 56 exhaust manifolds and the 4 bolt flange truck manifolds still occasionally show up on E Bay (both the originals and the reproductions that were available a few years ago).

I spent some time studying the engine bay of the Valiant a little bit ago, this should be interesting LOL.

As I learned a long time ago (and I'm sure you know) you never really know until you have the engine swinging from a chain lowering it into the engine bay.

At least I think I have enough patience and am bull headed enough to pull it off and I really appreciate your comments.

It was a 392. The challenges are many but not "mission impossible", just a lot of mock -up and fabrication work.

Good luck with the build,
Denny
