Damn, yeah I guess had I known your success and the appealing price I would have jumped on one of those instead. I think I’ve got $900 into the Mopar 1320 converter. Yeah still what little time I’ve got in experience with the build it’s been pretty good. No surging or any funny stuff at idle...

That’s a tough one to answer, it was only together for about 8 miles before the shaft decided to self destruct. I looked at many different converters and company’s before going this route, and unfortunately seeing all the “bad” stories and not many “good” stories got the best of me and I decided...

Dang! Looks like a really solid car!

I like it more too!

I did, they were a little noisy mainly because I didn’t want to use screws around the perimeter of the panel to fasten it so I tried to used magnets bonded to the aluminum, just didn’t work well.

Just pulled the pan, took a look inside and fresh filter and fluid. It does have Mopar 1320 model converter, supposedly they stall closer to 2400. I considered a Sipple built hp70 but just not in the budget at this time.

Got a replacement transmission Friday, spent a few nights installing glass and door panels. Man pretty disappointed in the fitment on these Legendary door panels. Had the glass tinted while it was out, went with 50% to play it safe and should have gone with 35%. Cleaned up a little wiring...

For sure, definitely a ball buster but it’s a fairly easy fix.

Hahaha yes a new seat too. It was definitely sketchy, I was probably rolling upwards of 65+. Yeah I figured we’d just repair the tunnel too. The exhaust we will replace that section of the x pipe and I should be picking up a used transmission for $800 today. Definitely a bummer but I’m over the...

Thank you, I’m gonna bet your setup will sound quite nice! You went with a FRP cam is that right? The mufflers are Borla xr1’s it’s definitely not quiet. Yeah the transmission cooler is a derale unit, can’t remember the size. We took the original cooler lines and welded some AN fittings to the...

Well….. 5 steps forward and 10 steps back. There was a miscommunication somewhere between my fan guy and the driveline shop. Yep, dumped the driveline on a road test. It was measured and ordered at 53 3/4” from yoke to yoke, for some reason it was built at that length but from yoke to...

It’s a custom cam from MMX. VVT is locked out. Duration @50 223, 614 Lift Exhaust Duration @50 235, 614 Lift Intake 111 LSA +0 Degrees of Advance

Yeah I’ve heard it’s pretty dang hot and that most people try and make it out in the evening/night time. Definitely will be a test of the cooling system.

haha is there such thing as too many? I get it. I’d probably work to get one done at a time. I appreciate it! Hoping to get it to Reno sometime for Hot August Nights maybe we will see you there?

Thank you! I’m pretty happy with it!

Wiring is done and it’s back home! Now to work out the rest of the tune, and correct settings to get everything to work together.

Transmission cooler, and shifter are mounted along with the engine and transmission ECU. Now wiring.

Ok, headers and exhaust are all done. Drive shaft showed up too!

Bump

Selling a brand new set of TTI headers for a gen3 Fits: 1967-76 A-body, 1962-74 B-body & 1970-74 E-body, Ceramic Coated with a Thermal Barrier. TTI part number TTI61HCA-R2C4. I was hoping they were going to be close and could use them in my 65 but it didn’t work out. Just unwrapped the bubble...

Thank you! I can’t take any credit for them though, I have a friend of mine helping with a lot of the fab work on this build. They are Smith Innovations stainless header flanges in 1 7/8 to a 3” collector. These are probably pretty specific to this car cause the steering and motor mounts are all...

Gonna have to remove that intermediate shaft, it’s got universal joints on both ends. It’s not too bad.

Headers need to be finish welded but they are all mocked up and looking great! I’ll be heading to drop off some more parts and check out the progress in person on Sunday!

Kinda thinking I might end up using a 64-65 B body console or something similar with some modifications. The gear indicator will go nicely where the tach normally would, then there could be room for cup holders and the “track” and “sport” mode buttons. Might try a gto manual trans console too...

Thank you, it’s been a long time in the works and really getting excited how it’s all finally coming together. Your Valiant has always been a great story!

Thank you, he’s killing it on the “to do” list.

Transmission tunnel is done. Onto headers and exhaust.

Thank you, I can’t take the credit for the fab work. A good friend of mine https://m.facebook.com/forestfincherfabrication/ is helping me out by getting this 90% completed.

Transmission mount, floor support/crossmember and the start of a transmission tunnel.

Thank you.
