Thanks, andy. I just stuck with my stock cam. I don't have the capabilities or the budget to pull the motor at this point. thanks for the tuning pointers. i'll certainly be spending some time trying to get it right.

possible your fuel is bad? might be that the fresh fuel you pour into the carb burns off then when the fuel from the tank kicks back in it's problematic. good luck though

thanks, but no i'm not sure what power it's making. all i can say for sure is "more"

This took forever and I'm pretty stoked to be on the road again, so I thought I'd share my experience for anyone looking to do the same mod. This is not meant to be a how-to, just my experience and results. Hopefully it's helpful to anyone researching this mod. Head porting, polishing, milling...

64, those are great. exactly what i needed. thanks, man. jp

thanks, killer 6. yeah good point about having a target in mind. i'm not going crazy with the motor, just trying to get some gains where i can. not a racer but a weekend cruiser. i have the head off for a valve job and intake/carb swap so i jumped into the porting. at this point i've removed...

Gents, i'm currently porting, gasket matching, bowl blending my head, and still am not 100% sure how far to go in the bowls. And i cannot tell by any picture i've seen simply because i think it's a difficult thing to photograph. so, is the goal to remove all the casted material within the tube...

thanks, guys. i stand corrected. I'll see if i can make this happen this summer. jp

will check it out. thanks for the heads up.

pista, yeah i've got a gasket on the way. the engine was rebuilt not long ago so i'm guessing the gasket will be in good shape. but like you said, if i'm in there... thanks.

yup. got it. thanks

looks like i found my answer. i have a 7 1/4 and no, cannot change the gears.

thanks. i'll have one on hand then. jp

can anyone tell me if i need to get a new intake/exhaust manifold gasket for my intake swap? going from the stock 1 bbl to a 4 bbl offy and want to make sure i've got all the parts before i start pulling things. thanks again jp

folks, i'm trying to figure out if i can get steeper gears (3.55) for my stock rear end. not sure the specs of what i've got, but is it possible to change the gears out on any rear end? thanks again for your thoughts. jp

there's a spot in sun valley just off the 5. they've got a chrysler section. i saw a couple of old a-bodies there last summer.

i just put a 2.25 pipe on a stock 225. added a thrush turbo muffler and 2.25 tail pipe. the car feels like it breaths a little better. the sounds is nice too. more resonation through the pipe. still pretty quiet though.

i had some issues during my disc conversion with keeping track of thread sizes. i ended up with a misfit at the rear brake outlet of the P valve that i solved with an adapter.

thanks for the info everyone

gents, anyone know a good shop here in the LA are to get my head milled, ported, etc? thanks jp

thanks, guys.

gents, i'm not sure if this is a slant 6 specific part or not, but i cannot seem to find out what it is. starter relay maybe? more curiosity than anything else. 65 valiant, slant 6 225. thanks for your help. jp

thanks for the replies, gents. i always appreciate the insights you guys offer up here on FABO. My current carb is a Carter BBS which works very well... i think i just got mesmerized by the sparkly new carb and wanted to hear it that would be a great upgrade. not the case i now understand...

Gents, I just stumbled onto a NOS or refurbished Holley 1945 this one and am wondering if i should try installing it on my 65 valiant 225. any thoughts from my more experienced mopar folks here? has anyone ran one of these on a 65 /6? thanks, guys. jp
