69sig, thnx for the reply. i agree, dual plane edlebrock, 600cfm(holly/ carter). it still has points, so mo po upgrade electronic for sure. the rear is where we differ, i had a 7 1/4 sg behind my 2nd 69 valiant w/strong 318, etc...never gave a whimper(always left 2 nice black marks too). i have 3:55,4:10, and a borg warner, and a dana powerlok suregrip(plus a chrome cover..lol). 284/484 purple shaft(340, i think) cam is what i was thinking too. better heads will come, but not yet(i kinda like to see what can be done w/273 first). tranny rebuild (shift kit) will come too, 2500 stall sounds good. is a crossover exhaust really important, i was contemplating putting side exits on it?
p.s. this wouldnt be my first a-body...it would be #12 !! ive have 3 dusters, 2 darts, 1 barracuda, 5 valiants(favorites!)....everything from slants to big blocks too.
ps.s. 69sig, i luv your car, same color as my first 69 valiant. im assuming it also has 273 in it? what mods have you done to it? track tested?????
p.s.s.s. i had a 273 commando motor, 4 spd,8 3/4, in a 64 valiant....can you say FUNNNNN !!! could catch rubber in first 3 gears ........ahhh youth....
