Love it! It's been a while since I've checked on your build. Inspires me to keep pluggin away on the Valiant and what I want to do with it.

Yeah, break in is done. At the recommendation of the engine shop, I used BR-40 break in oil. He said run it for about 20min....which is the time Comp suggests as well, then drain it. I ran it in the car for about 3 days for good measure though, lol. I've watched him do it many times on his dyno...

Ok let's see if this vid works. Don't mind the header gasket leak, lol, it's fixed now. http://youtu.be/szjG7fIxHgo

Yeah, I ended up calling Comp and giving them the spring pressure and stem height as the heads were already set up. They recommended the XE268. I had the heads set up for a Lunati but the Comp was about $65 cheaper and close in numbers. The Lunati had more duration and less lift. The car...

Thanks, will see what I can do.

I do have a video of it running on my iphone but don't know how to upload.

More.

Finally finished the 318 and 904 build and they're now in the car!

Wow, very clean and straight!! What a great car to start with!

Finally, some pics of the block. Chased/cleaned all threads and gave it a good scrubbin at the car wash.

Oh, will take pics of the block, but it's at a bud's house, lol.

Okay, some progress on the 318 build, which is taking forever, lol. Heads are done after over 2mo, lol. New stock valves...1.75/1.50, milled to 60cc chambers, bronze guides, springs.

Awesome find, very cool car. Wish I could stumble upon a deal like that :)

Gasket match is done on this head as well as about as much that can come out of the pushrod pinch area.

Started doing some head work for the 318: Gasket match, workin the pushrod pinch, and some intake bowl work right now. Will work/shape the guides a little bit hopefully tomorrow. Exhaust ports will be opened just a little bit and smoothed. Intake gasket is Fel-Pro 1243 318 2bbl with the...

Well hopefully, and I'm sure it will by looking as your skills, it will turn out exactly how you want it to.

Never seen your build before, but GEEEZ. I like it! It's crazy how when you talk about something it sounds like it's gonna be a wreck but when you see it come together, it just puts a smile on your face and you can look at the doubters and say...."I told you so!" Cool Build!

az426hemi, will do whenever the time comes. Just thinking about this.....I'm now not sure those headers will fit with the shock tower hoops in there for the c/o conversion! Hmmmm. Guess I'll find out when the time comes. Will prob have to run the m/c lines differently as well, grrrr!

Got a set of Hooker Super Comp headers this week from Mr. Shine. Look like the 5208 ceramic coated ones. I know, I still need pics of the engine stuff. lol Been a little busy.

Cool, well don't rush things. Would suck to end up right back under the knife.

Picked up the 318 from the machine shop an hour ago!! Pics soon to come.

Awesome!!

Yeah, my wife doesn't understand why I want to do what I want to do to the Valiant but she understands that "we own it." No one can come and repo or whatever if we both happen to lose our jobs or whatnot. Also, been mentioned in a previous post, but i'd rather dump 20G's into my Valiant and...

Cool build! The lines on the cobra r hood I think would go very well with the car.

Oh man, that sucks :( Just read through your build, excellent work. Sucks you'll be holed up for a little bit now.

Nice, must of blew the fresh paint right off it! lol Awesome!

Nice!

Nice build. Should be fun. I have a cousin with a 70 Duster that his uncle has practically built for him. All his uncle asked him to do to finish the car was put the restored instrument cluster in and finish runnin the fuel line.....still hasn't done it and the cars has sat for over 5 years...

Yeah, I've been staring at that one pretty hard lately, either that one or the ladderlink one for $279. I did get TIG certed at work last Wednesday, I might consider making my own if I could get the DOM at a reasonable price. I'll have to price a set of rod/heim ends and see if it's cost...

That Dart looks pretty nasty John. Did you make your own kit? If so, how much would you charge to make a set of 32" ladder bars? I'd like to have the Valiant at least as low as pettybludart's Dart. I may even get some PST 2"drop spindles in the future. I guess I'll see when the time comes.lol
