Barn find Valiant
Sweet! I have been running the Clifford 4-BBl Ram flow intake manifold, clifford headers, the double roller timing set they sell, and their super treated steel rods in my "race" engine for four years now w/no trouble. Launching at 2000 RPM, shifting at 5100 RPM a couple hundred times a year, and the engine is as good today as it was when I first built it. One thing about the headers I didn't care for was that they came coated in a black coating that seemed cheap to me. For $100 I had them powdercoated at a nearby business...And they look great! Also, the custom exhaust is an interesting fit to say the least, (with the kickdown linkage and such, but it works. Before I messed around with the 4-BBL on the new engine, I switched to the 2-BBL Super Six and headers on the old engine and WOW! That sure did wake up that tired slant (took off almost two seconds at the strip just with that mod).
