    [FOR SALE] 1966 valiant signet, highly modified, 16k obo

    I'd really like to find this car a home, if you're really interested in it and think its way out of line priced, just PM me anyway. But I want to find it a home that might appreciate it, and can maybe finish it, since its never really been finished. 2nd owner car, and the first car I ever...

    [FOR SALE] 1966 plymouth valiant signet, highly modified, 2nd owner, "feeler", but definitely for sale

    Emotionally I want all the money, who doesn't? Emotionally though what I really want is someone that resonates with this car. I'm 53 a and I've just lost the desire to wrench on it, in a nutshell. First car I ever owned. Seems things run the gamut in terms of money, I'd like to get $19k...

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    What is going on here? How do you know where to tap though the plate/etc. I am not opposed to this at all, it gets rid of something I don't need, as I just need to get oil to/from the engine and through my remote oil filter... So I am intrigued.

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    oil pan yes, valve cover no... Will remedy that 2nd one this evening, unless work today kills me and I need a beer and curling up in the fetal position.

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    That is the part. With the massive bolt head, that I'm sure most people might only have a large crescent or use a pipe wrench on. Sadly for me there's no way to get any tools on that thing while the header is in place in my car. I do love these headers, but good god damn they are a labor...

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    I have been contemplating this. It MAY, but I'm not entirely sure yet. There's just very little room. I'll try and take a pick tonight.

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    The head on this thing is like 1.5", and I did put a 3/4" ratchet on it and made sure it was very snug. I'm sure I can tighten it more, and I may try, but 3/4" ratchet and socket = plenty of leverage :) I wonder how different the canton is than the moroso. They look very, very similar.

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    Can you help with this plate? I suspect it's in there, as I removed nothing except the oil filter. If I needed/need to remove something else, I'll be happy to do the rather large amount of work to get something out of there that's messing with me. note, the oil leak is not large - If that...

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    Moroso adapter, brand new gasket. As for getting it out - After I've collected all the responses, I'll do something. But it's an enormous effort to remove. I have had to buy a 1 1/4" crows foot just to tighten the AN fittings onto the adapter with the header in place. The bolt that holds the...

    340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

    Title describes it, but I'll elaborate. I doubt it matters, but the 340 is stroked to 416. The headers are from TTI, and took a lot of finesse to get installed, but are full length headers, no fenderwell nonsense, etc. Something I've always wanted... But necessitate a remote oil filter...

    TTI headers hitting torsion bar 65 cuda with 360

    heh, one torsion bar does go through the headers. The other side the steering passes through. But I had my frame modified instead of beating the crap out of the headers. All that said, one of the crazy car shows on Velocity had the guys beat the crap out of headers on a dyno. No freaking...

    [FOR SALE] 340 motor, solid, runs great

    Bump - Want to sell locally folks. Somewhat unreasonable offers considered likely. Won't sell things for family discounts, but I'd really like this stuff out of my pops garage.

    TTI Problems - Annoyed!

    I've talked to some people, and as you can see on TTI's web site for the Abodies here, there are lots of footnotes. THat's probably a tell tail sign that in many applications things are going to be tough to fit. Consider this, '66 valiant, denny's front end kit, and TTI's. I'm pretty much...

    TTI headers hitting torsion bar 65 cuda with 360

    I have TTI's in my 66 valiant with a 340, but it also has HemiDenny's front suspension kit. So we're not remotely talking apples to apples. All I know - I can't imagine these headers fitting with the torsion bars. They surely didn't fit well w/o them... I know (we all know, with early a...

    [SOLD] 64-66 front suspension

    Dartman, Talk to Nirvana, he's getting it all Saturday... I did not want to part it out.... just wanted it all gone. Maybe he'll be willing to let that center link go... Who knows.

    [SOLD] 64-66 front suspension

    I've purchased Denny's setup, so this is all coming out and has to go. V8 k member for the early Abody's, and pretty much every suspension part for it. Upper/lower control arms, 4 piston disc brakes, large diameter torsion bars, large diameter front sway bar, steering box that's in great...

    [FOR SALE] 340 motor, solid, runs great

    I'll gather more info, but have to wander back up to pops garage to get it. First, I strongly prefer to sell locally. Whatever that means for you is fine, I'm just not likely to go figure out how to ship it. I have no idea. The motor is in Redwood City, CA. Second, it runs strong...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    Thanks for all the debate folks. I guess when we ask what its going to cost to rework cast iron heads, that's when it'll make sense or not to go with Eddy's. I'm not going to waste money for no reason. If we're even close to the same money, that's fine. I'm just having a hard time...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    headers are for later a-bodies, not the early 63-66. That's the rub. And I already have a set of multi-thousand dollar custom headers, I don't want another. The fact is what's in the car was the best I could come up with at the time. The TTI's are definitely better, similarly length'd side...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    Heads: If its cost prohibitive to re-work existing heads I'll certainly purchase something different. That's just easy and prudent. I have a hard time believing that's the case though, and I read countless stories of Eddy's that need work out of the box anyway. The car has disk brakes...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    Unless someone says otherwise I have no other choice than TTI headers. I was surprised to find them available for 63-66 A-bodies. If I had a 67-76, I'd have many choices. as it is, the headers in the car were custom made. But they are not ideal, and I'm happy there's at least one good...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    I've not ridden in a 4"+ stroked SB w/a single plane. But I believe a lot of the numbers I've seen, and most don't bother to post up numbers until 3500+ or so. I've also been through the single plane on my car... With a predator carb, and the combo was awful - I'm sure it was due to other...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    Agreed, won't be a hydraulic cam. Was hoping for that too, but that's not in the cards. And that's ok. Only way it works is for it all to work together, and that's part of the equation. I won't build a car to spin 7.5k, want nothing to do with a single plane manifold, and building power from...

    cast iron heads vs aluminum for stroked 340

    550? Easy answer, why not? Honestly, when I started reading/researching, mid 500's seems very doable wiht a stroked small block and still keeping it reasonably drivable... So that's why. You don't need to run a single plane manifold and turn 7500rpm to get there. Everything has to add up and...
