That car is insane!!!! I just got done tearin out the /6 outta my Val to put in a bb. Maybe I should reconsider haha. Congrats on the final product my man that is awesome. Keep the videos comin!!!

That car looks awful familiar haha. I love my car it just bums me out that I don't have any money to put into it right now. I just got shipped back from Marine Corps OCS with a bum knee that needed surgery and now I can't work fer awhile so I don't have any money but hopefully soon I will. I'm...

That sounds like a nice setup. I'm still lookin around for parts right now. I actually just got shipped back from Marine Corps OCS in Quantico, VA. I was runnin and tore my knee al up and just had surgery so I'm gonna be laid up for awhile.

1966 Plymouth Valiant Signet 100. My hopeful car was a 67 Belvedere but I figured for my idea that the lightest possible car would be the best, hence the Val. I've got a gallery of it when I first picked it up and a few on the progress if you click on Gallery List on here. I need to catch up on...

Unless it burns nitro I'll stick to doorslammers haha. Good call though

After the drags came through Topeka this weekend I'm ready to do just about anything to get goin. Amped up and motivated as always!!!

Just a start to a 10. Not the WHOLE thing haha. I am fully aware that the whole 9 yards for a 10 sec car are gonna be well over $10k. Just a good start on it is what I'm askin for ideas on.

Highly motivated now. Drag races are in town and I'm itchin to get after it. Haven't seen a single Val in any classes run which is disappointing, but cool at the same time. I think that's what I'm most excited for is that they're just not known to be real racie cars so it'll be fun to have...

I have found a few C body 440 blocks around town but they've been garbage. Seems like the only ones I've run into are numbers matching with the car and the guy selling it didn't want to separate the motor from the car (understandbly). Drags are in town this weekend and I actually just came from...

Got a 66 Valiant Signet coupe. 1968, I wasn't saying I was going to buy the whole dang thing now. I was trying to get an idea what kind of start I could get with a $2k budget for the time being. I'm trying to get ideas as to what routes people are going and what kind of results they are getting...

See now I'm gettin lots of ideas haha. Lots of critics too but thats what makes it fun haha

Completely understandable. I think more or less I'm just trying to get some build ideas and options. I know for a fact that the setup that I want to run is going to cost well over 10 grand when its all said and done. And in the future that won't be a problem. Just for the time being I think I...

Not at the moment but I have found a few around town that I've been looking at getting

Ok let me rephrase that. The best START to a low budget build while the pocket says $2000 is the limit FOR NOW haha.

So engine first or body parts

Good call. I've gotten everything of it and stripped all the way down to bare cab. Bumpers are gone heater core is out and everything that I wasn't going to use again is gone and in a storage unit. That's what I wasn't sure about though was if I really could afford to throw fiberglass on it...

Thats a whole different part of the budget thankfully. Right now I'm sticking with the basic components of the engine- block, heads, manifold, tranny, that sort of stuff. Parts that need to be machined would probably be the most ideal for the budget

Budgets about $2k and the car is to the point where I need to start makin measurments for engine mounts and headers. It will be awhile before it is actually up and running but I could really use it right now

The all-too-familiar predicament. Looking to run 10s on a budget. Small block or Big block? Any ideas?

Well now that I have to finance a new truck not that much but I plan on having to stretch out the building process over a few years so it'll be a constand amount each year

Thats why its here haha

I know they can run 8s I've just set some goals that I know some could be achieved and some can't. Shoot high

Its a 66 Valiant so its light already but I'm cutting alot of it out and replacing it with aluminum so it should right around 2000 or less all said and done

Still don't know if I should go big block or small block

Yeah I wasn't planning on nos anyways just because I'm an all motor kinda guy

But to answer your question, it's not built yet, I'm still working on tubbing it and all that, I just want to get a good plan layed out of what my options will be and which one will work best. It's always nice to have a plan laid out beforehand (even if not stuck to 100% of the time) so I can...

I can handle that. Super Gas was where I really WANT to race, but honestly I know that I won't have much money to spend until after I get back from a deployment and go into my career. I'm willing to start from the bottom, which is fine, I just need ideas on how much hp I could get out of that...

Again, bare with me haha. I'm getting ideas

I know but I am haha. Bare with me

Thanks everybody keep em coming. I've been searchin around and are getting some good ideas so thanks again!!! Brad
