Too bad you're too far away. I love driving these A230 3 Speeds. I have one in a duster and one in my 68 valiant. They are fun to drive.

I'm too late back to the party. I got 13 inches. But I only measured the tailshaft housing.

Looks like an A body A 230 to me, The shifter mount is behind the crossmember mount. I think the picture angle is making the tailshaft look longer than it is. If you can measure the tailshaft.... I have one of these transmissions out of the car, I will post a pic of the one I have after...

Should you need more shock bumper parts, I have a pile of that stuff because I have been saving 74+ parts for years while everyone else was throwing it away.

Dang, why do you have to be on the other side of the country. A body shop is going to charge a fortune. Might be money ahead getting a welder and a bunch of scrap metal pieces and get practicing. If I can do it, anyone can, because I am probably the last person on the planet who should be...

Wow, that looks like it was the twin to mine. Keyword WAS. nice fab work.

I really don't think that is that bad. 50 year old car that has survived going through hell and back and that's all the rust you got. It was probably like my car with rubber floor mat that was notorious for holding moisture in and rotting floors. .... pretty standard, really The one piece...

You might be able to get an OE frame rail from @Lee Robinson which will be better quality.

Rust quickly reminds us that these are 55+year old cars and this is to be expected. My 68 valiant has a similar problem but for me it's the torsion bar cross member. I intend to change it out but life has been preventing good progress. I also didn't notice it at first till I got under the...

Subscribed Dart sports get no love and they are not really around anymore like they were even 10 years ago. Great to see one getting saved and loved.

See what you did!! Your thread is so cool and make a valiant look so appealing, I had to go out and get one. This one has a 273. Thanks for the cool thread.

Way over rated. I had a 70 Cuda U code 440 'CUDA. I could barely see over the dash and and everything in the car is hard to reach and hard to operate. To get the clutch pedal all the way down, I had to get up to the steering wheel at the front edge of the seat. That car also brought too much...

Great thread or post or whatever you call it. I like the car and the talent in building it.

Early A slant six oil pans are different from the 67 and up pans. In order to bolt a slant into an early A (62 to 66) you must have the proper early A pan. I ran into this with my 63 valiant. The early pan will bolt into the later car but the later pan will NOT bolt into the early car.

What a good thread to read from page one all the way through. :thumbsup:

Beautiful color

So i tried to buy a new AMD torsion bar cross member but it seems they are out of stock and no one knows when they will be available again. So I'm not going to waste my time on Taiwan part if they cant be Johnny on the spot. So I am going to quit being lazy and cut the cross member out of the...

So a few people have asked how the lada valiant is progressing and the honest truth is very slowly. The car overall is far from what is call a rust bucket but there is an issue with the torsion bar cross member that is going to black flag this car off the road until it gets fixed. The guy who...

we think he was born in the first week of September 2021

The reason i am thinking audio while working the engine compartment is actually an engineered reason. I am thinking i need to drill a hole in the firewall to run cables from the battery to the amps. So i want to drill all the holes needed in the firewall BEFORE paint. I once painted an engine...

So I'm watching some videos on how to put together an audio system for this car. I think I'm going to build a box that will mount on the hump over the rear end and it seems like it's going to be a lot cheaper to rattle the **** out of this car than I thought. I want to feel the deck lid...

Spent more time on it on Saturday but got a bit done in the morning on Sunday. Spent a bunch of time straightening the lower radiator support. Someone hit something low at some point and there was a mean dent. Not sure if I took a pic of the before

Finally got a clear weekend to work on the lada valiant. I forgot how freaking tiring it is to sand, sand, oh yea, sand some more. Every crevis and dimple in the engine compartment has to be sanded. I had company though

but...but, it came from china..... Actually it did because I bought it at ol harbor freight. As much as I hate that pungent chinese aroma in that store, where else am I going to get a cherry picker new in the box for 20% off and two worker guys loaded it in my truck for me.....where!!! only at...

This is the slant going in, it's going in as is just to get it running before Christmas. Then in the mean time I'm going to build another slant for it that will have a super six 2 barrel and some other enhancements. This slant is a 68 dated engine that came out of a 68 dart parts car.

Any proper patriot mobile needs a set of rally gauges so I spent some time today stripping this.....68 barracuda dash frame. Direct bolt in gauges. Why not??

The new paint looks so rejuvenated compared to the old stuff and it's supposedly the same paint code. The paint on the car looks to be original enamel from ma mopar

So as I said in the first post, this is going to be a sloooooow project. I am just trying to be realistic because staffing shortages at my office job are causing overtime like crazy and in the mean time the car sits. When I first got the car, I had in mind to just get it running no matter...

How about volvo emblems on a valiant, would you spot it out??
