Hey guys, need some help here. I was sorting out a rear end noise this past weekend when I noticed that my one rear rim is warped :/ They were a vintage set of wheels so it's going to be a pain to try and find another wheel from a company that went under a long time ago. That being said, I'm...

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but what suspension set up did you use this wheel/tire combo?

Hey guys, So I'm just getting everything together to swap my Slant 6/904 out for a 360/904 set up. Will be using the Schumacher conversion mounts to do this. I am under the impression from what I've read and logic that my stock /6 radiator will not be sufficient. I'm having a heck of a time...

Thanks!!

I apologize in advance (can't help it, I'm Canadian) if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it despite all my searches of previous threads. I'm getting ready to swap my Slant Six out for a 360 Small Block LA this spring. I'm using the Schumacher conversion mounts to do this (thus...

Can anyone help me figure out how much I need to shorten my driveshaft?

Cost me $50 in parts

So I have a question, and I apologise if this should be thrown under an engine swap thread, but I'm installing this 8.25 to: a) accommodate wheels without adapters and upgrade to BBP. b) handle a bit more power than my 7.25. I'm wrapping up the engine build on the 360 that will be replacing the...

She looks good! Completely rebuilt the brakes, inspected the center section and installed a new cover gasket. Buffed the rust off and gave her a nice respray of Rust-Oleum semi gloss black.

My understanding is that so long as the 8 1/4 you install came from another A-Body and the your transmission tail length is the same as the donor car, you can use the driveshaft from the donor. If the transmissions are both 904's there won't be an issue, but if I'm not mistaken (which I could...

So I just ordered the shock mounts to accommodate the larger housing. I ordered the universal plates from Speedway, people in the reviews section said they worked fine for their 8.75 swaps, but the plates don't come with studs to physically put through the shock bushing. Could you guys point me...

Nice 4 Door, I feel they are under appreciated. I have a 4 door '68 Valiant myself and I hope as the classic car market continues to be picked clean of usable pony cars people will start to value 4 doors more lol please keep us in the loop with all the work you do, I'd love to see where this...

Hey guys, so I'm picking up an 8.25 rear end this weekend! It should be more than sufficient to handle the 350 HP my 360 swap will be putting out. I'm upgrading from the stock 7.25 SBP to 8.25 BBP. I put in the effort to find a rear end from another A body, so my assumption is that this will be...

1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet "Crew Cab" Vintage Superior Industries Mags. 14x6 Front & Rear

Hey guys, I'm in talks with a guy on an online classifieds site that's selling an 8 1/4 Rear end. The rear end is from a 1970s (year unspecified) Duster 340. Is there any way to know (without driving out to him and measuring) whether the axles will be 5x4 or 5x4.5? My goal is to upgrade the...

'68 valiant Signet 225

Hey guys, I am going to be swapping out my slant 6 and 904 transmission for a 360 paired with a small block la 904 transmission. So here's my question: Can I reuse the original transmission cross member from the slant 6 setup?

Hey guys, I'll be picking up a set of some nice 14x6 mag wheels here in the next couple days and I was wondering what y'all recommend for tires (front and rear). If you have 14x6 wheels please post pictures too, would love to see what's out there! Cheers!

Hard to find parts here in Canada :/

Hey guys. I'm swapping out my slant 6 for a mild 360 this spring and I'm currently allocating all the parts I'll need. I've seen some conflicting stuff on here so let's hash this out right here. My car is a 1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet 4 Door. I am swapping out the slant 6 and installing a...

Hey guys, need some help. My car (1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet 4DR/Slant Six 225) is currently at my brother's garage as I don't have anywhere to store it at my condo. Does anyone know what size the factory drum brakes are (front and rear)? Unfortunately I didn't measure them and if I'm going to...

No problem lol if I recall Legendary / Dante's both have a large selection of split benches coverings.

Hey guys, I'm trying to find where I can purchase a new seat cover/upholstery kit for the seats in my 68 Valiant 4 Door. But I'm have a a heck of a time finding anything for these "fixed?" Bench seats but all I can seem to find is kits for the split benches. Photos below. Any help?

As the money rolls in we'll see where it goes lol For right now I'm going to give her some new wheels (once I make up my mind on a set) and some fresh rubber (BF Goodrich Radial T/A's). I also have plans for a 360 V8 swap and some interior / body work.

Will do! Who knows, maybe you'll see her at a show in the near future! :)

Haha! My wife and I were torn between moving to Edmonton or Calgary, the wind was definitely one of the deciding factors.

Hey guys, I've spent a lot of time skimming the forums here and I finally actually joined up. My name is Nicholas and I'm 20, I'm from Edmonton, Alberta. I just picked up my first A body project car. Photos will be attached below, it's a 1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet 4 Door, with the Slant Six...
