The Arizona V100, good floors, bad bumpers...

No worries, thanks for checking. That picture is a second V100 I found in the Nevada desert. Looks mint but the floor pans were gone, like most all V100s with full rubber cover over jute. I made the mistake selling it whole when now I'm spending more to get all the good parts it had. The...

1966 Valiant/Barracuda bumper pictured

I need a rear bumper for my Valiant project. Straight and clean enough to not need rechroming.

8.25 A-body axles that were common from 1973-1976 are a great low buck swap into earlier A-bodies that don't have the 8.75 upgraded rear. You gain the more desirable 5x4.5 bolt pattern in the bargain. Unfortunately a Sure Grip is not a common find and upgrading to an LSD is expensive...

Awesome references everyone. Notes and part numbers recorded. "No one knows much, together we might know enough, enough still isn't much." Humility, key is to keep working it...

Great info and experience showing up. Thanks @mopowers for the comparison pic as that says it all. I can add that I've had very good luck with Kevko aftermarket oilpans. Not only do they have the clearance dimples but can be optioned with various effective internal baffling. I can see...

@AJ are you speaking of your 68 S or a 66-earlier? Not the same... Clearances are much different 67-later

I'm sorry but I'm not selling any of my parts stash at this time.

The oil pan also needs to be the dimpled version for the A-body pitman/idler. Not all small block oil pans are clearanced. I can't be specific but from memory that was especially true of some of the aftermarket stampings. It's also a factor that the 273/318/340 pans are different than the 360...

In the early 70s I acquired a 1965 Barracuda that had been an SCCA A-Sedan racer since new and had a history in the overlaid "Pro" Trans Am series. Of a few exotic components and mods it had a set of full length under-chassis headers made by Doug Thorley. The company has gone through...

I flew to Jacksonville FL and drove this wagon home to Colorado. I built the engine with Super Six 2bbl manifolds and significant internal mods. I see it's been lowered, anything else since I had it? I've owned dozens of Valiants and this was one of the most original survivors I ever found...

Some of my more valuable parts have sold quickly, locally and via FABO. I'm motivated to find a new home for the Valiant so I can move on. It's got to be pointed out that this is an extraordinarily well preserved southwest desert car in a way that many may not comprehend. My personal...

Thanks for the interest to all who responded. Gone to a good new home in Colorado...

Gotcha @coloradohill, thanks for your interest

Indy 360-1 rectangular port heads with intake, new Hughes rocker kit, ARP studs, Moroso covers, and Mopar Performance 3/16 pushrods, cut to fit. I was planning my ultimate 66 Valiant (see Mopars for Sale) and realize I'm getting older fast. I bought all this from a local racer. He had the...

I found this V100 five years ago in Kingman AZ after searching a long time. They are very difficult to find with original solid floors as 66 V100s all had the rubber floor over jute that rots the pans out from the inside. The floor pan does have some surface rust but is not punky or...

Decision made. I added in the cost variable and concluded I'll use KB quench pistons for a 360 at 10.5 compression with my 308 heads and run a Holley Street Dominator that I have. It matters too that the lowest cost suppliers all seem to be out of stock for their 4" stroker kits. I also have...

Wow, lot's of experience coming through! I appreciate all the thoughts and advice. I'm wondering now if the Dual Port on my shelf might be interesting in combo with the 308 heads on a 4" crank. I suspect it won't want to rev high but the throttle response and torque might be crazy. In the...

The Torker II has caught my eye already, and no doubt the runner profiles are similar to the factory intake. My bias is definitely towards the 408/Indy option. For sure, the expected 400+ HP outcome in a light Valiant is fun to ponder. I've run some really hot A-bodies but am now in the mind...

So here's probably an uncommon request. I'm looking for legit experience with low profile single plane intakes on hot smallblocks. Why? I'm playing with the concept of how far I can push "273 Commando at a glance" subterfuge. I'm not a racer anymore but want to pop the hood of my 66 Valiant...

@Cudaize Awesome, message sent. Thanks for responding!

Looking for the stainless trim across the bottom of the deck lid exclusive to 1966 V200s. I'd like something useable, don't need show quality but presentable as opposed to "ready for restoration". Picture illustrates... Thank you!

I've been looking for a while, time to update my search. 1966 Valiant V200s have a stainless strip across the bottom of the trunk lid. I'm looking for this piece in straight undented condition. The 66 V200 is the only application for this trim as far as I know. Picture shows an example on a...

Still available?

Thanks, I'm well aware. I would label my 66 Valiant as 1966 Valiant V100 Commando, I think it's pretty consistent that engine designation is part of a vehicle description? 1966 Plymouth Belvedere Hemi? 1968 Chrysler 300 TNT? "Charger" in the 273/4bbl context equates to "Commando" and...

1966 Dart GT Convertible. Factory 273 4bbl Charger engine, Rally Suspension, Kelsey Hayes manual disk brakes. Rare and unmolested, remarkable preservation. Disk brakes replaced original drums in 1990 to accommodate mountain roads using all correct factory components. Lifelong Colorado car...

I responded to this CraigsList posting in Denver, established first position and have spoken extensively with the seller. I'm 350 miles away and for various reasons am taking a pass. It is however a find as an original unrestored CA example. Quite remarkable. 1966 Dodge Dart Two Door...

Ugh, I overlooked the various case dimension considerations. And of course the factory 4spds indeed routed the rods inside the floorpan stamping with the necessary tunnel-hump. This is getting more complicated than I first imagined. The light and slick Tremec TKO is of course the no-brainer...

Thanks all for this latest round of stories and comments. @AJ/FormS in particular for the impressive number crunching! While eight-on-the-tree using the GV is a true count and sounds impressive, I have no intention of working through the gears with sequential fine splits. I'm imagining first...
