So little update....I wound up taking the shifter class bracket at Woodburn this past year in my daily. This was simply because the 318 in the Valiant came down with a rear main seal hemorrhage (couple quarts in 10-miles) and a low oil pressure issue. Im tired of it, its been one thing after...

Subscribing for the awesome build...:happy1:

A little more done today, just need to hang the mufflers so I can make the tail pipes tomorrow.

I also notched the crossmember last night....not that its of any use :wack:

The passenger side is a generic 67-up passenger car one that I moved a tube and dinged a couple others to make fit. Works with and without the 90* adapter using an stp S16. The drivers side is a 90's-00's ram/dakota generic/noname header. I began the process this evening and got 3 of 4 tubes...

Another header update... passenger side done, cross member notched, start on the drivers side tomorrow night.

Just a little update. 750 Holley, performer RPM, Ported #302's, and started on headers this evening. HOA noise complaints about this car. doing 2.25" mandrel bent duals, an x-pipe, and Jones brand Magnaflow knock offs with resonated tips.

And Im back here again....no actual repairs, just stepping up my game a bit. Hogging out the bowls of the #302 heads and cleaning up the damage the best I can, adding an Performer RPM intake and a worked over 3310 Holley.

Just following along, interesting build.:cheers:

The solution was to start finding a replacement runner and get it back on the road. I stumbled across a mess of 273 parts for cheap as well as a mostly complete 318. I sold off some of the goodies that came with the 273, pulled the rods/pistons out of the 318, ordered a $10 set of rings, used...

the carnage last july. Not sure what went wrong....too much 7000+ rpm with stock cast pistons maybe? amazingly it still ran but made all kinds of noise.

Been gone from here for far too long....blew up the 318 last july, fixed it and now we are here as of this past sunday....specifics and pics to follow

not yet haha

Ive got an 'eff' your prius one and am having an 'Awsome exits here' one made for next to the exhaust hehe

Dont hate

Likewise! Next car I get will be done very similar to yours:cheers:

End of the world cruise, stock vavecovers and air filter added to the 318, and the original 273 under the shelf and another I picked up friday on the floor...

wheel pics

This car is insanely fun, spins the new rubber (more on that later), and is quick enough and enough to handle that I had the ladyfriend tearing up in a ball on the passenger side of the seat :burnout: so on to the new rubber... Im running the yellow painted skinny steelies on the front posted...

on to the pics

so, the original 273 finaly began to make a rather strange noise...like a slowly dying powerstroke under the foot of a FedEx driver...woops! THe wagon sat pretty stagnant as I gathered parts and gumption to finaly tackle the big swaparoo...pulling the 273 out of the wagon and the very hot 318...

freakin sweeeeeeeet! get to tuning so we can get some numbers on this sucker!

always wanted one of these as a nice little jumper....Id go T2 or neon n/a power though:D

Crappy for anything but a something with 'radiused' wheel wells lol...I think 3.25 or 3.5...same as the slots that I had, gonna need to roll the lip just to be safe though.

long overdue update... Race rubber mounted...205/75's on stock 14x4.5's in the front, 26x9.5 Hoosiers on 14x8's in the rear. Planning on some 14x6's in the rear with some decent street tires...more on that later, Ill do a writeup when I do...Everything color matched to the original yellow...

I will post pics when I can....camera crapped out:angry4:

cut for speakers but otherwise PERFECT!!!! if they werent cut I would have grabbed all the doors too

scored a perfect pair of headlight rings, drivers fender and 1/4 trim, a perfect interior mirror, the rubber dashpad hold downs, some decent door weather stripping, a pair of Valiant dog-dishes, and a NICE GAS CAP at a local junkyard yesterday....thinking of going back and grabbing the manual...
