For some reason, or other, I prefer the 30’s-40’s much better, even with this music. Guess I am old.

I think that mine are 255 x 50.

What is the tire and wheel size. I lucked out with mine, as I used a 17” x 8” rear wheel, and I can get my little finger between the fender edge and tire.

Denny, very nice. Good Iowa car hehehehe. Yes, I remember from where you got it. Never could figure out as to had this and other SS Mopars. You did well.

Thanks for that. You are very detailed in this, and I appreciate it. What you say makes sense. I have one of the old, original Valiant brochures, I should get it out and find out just what a S6 with torqueflight used from the factory. I’ll bet it was a 2.94.

Now to figure out the engine part. As for tools, I have basic tool, just not the latest up to date stuff than most of you all have. And if you are in the Chicago area, that's 5-6 hours, depending on how one goes. Thanks for the idea.

All that i can say for my thinking that it had a much steeper gear is, well it felt like it was. It seemed that the rpm was a lot higher than I thought that it should be, and I was comparing this to the other cars with rear wheel drive that I have had. Thanks for the many comments that I have...

Well yesterday, we crawled under the little guy, and found out some interesting things. One, the 3rd member housing is a 741 case. But, the good part is that it is a suregrip, and works. Now for the gear ratio, and this is the old fashioned way, it is seems that this is either, a 3:23 or a 3:55...

It has a torque flight, 727, with an upgraded torque converter, I was told when I bought this car. It does have a shift kit in it, as well. As I said earlier, this car was raced the first couple of years after it was built in 2011. That’s why it had the 4:ll’ s in it. I guess what I have figured...

Thanks, we’ll look at that. The compression is 11-1, and that is why I’m looking at a rebuild. It’s .060 over now, I don’t know how much a 360 can take. This engine was built in 2011, and I have a feeling that it was run pretty hard after that. I talked to the guy that I bought it from, but he...

Thanks, hadn’t thought about valve seals. I have found a Mopar guy that has a machine shop. He was recommended to me any a race engine builder, whose shop built me a W-2 355” motor back in the 90’s. He can’t do anything until Fall, and I would like to drive it this summer. Actually, what we re...

I can deal with that as I will be adding power with the engine rebuild. Seriously, it is almost not streetable in the condition that is is now. That’s why it sat almost all summer. I took it to two rod runs, and that was it. Maybe 100 miles. I want to be able to drive it, and yes, have power...

That is exactly what I would like to do.

Thanks for that. When we got it first running, it really was bad, but then it got better after we put in a ignition change, and smaller AFB type Edelbrock carburetor. Also, ditched the leaking headers and put 340 hp manifolds on it. Still awfully loud though.

Sounds pretty good. I’m thinking that going thru the motor, a cam replacement, and take a look at the compression. I was told that these were 10.5 to 1. Another question mark. There’s also some question as to the displacement too. It has a lot of torque.

Hi there, it’s been a long time since I posted here on this A-Bodies Only site. Well here it goes. I have a 69 Valiant, in my profile picture here, and we need help. This past summer, at the GoodGuys here in Des Moines, my son following me said that there was quite a bit of black smoke from one...

Also the manifold nearly fell off. I don't think I can do cross-country trips in this car like I wanted to. Maybe I'll get a K-car instead. Don’t loose the faith!

Nicely done, those slant 6/s are just about bullet proof if you get them past 10,000 miles. Same usually goes for the old 318. Yeah, right tell us more when you get to the LED's.

Drag radials don't appreciate 30 degree weather either, as I found out in December here in Iowa. I went to the QT store to check my air pressure, topped all t he tires off, then left. Got on it a bit in second gear of the torque flight and WA LAAAAAA. It's been a long time since fish tailed...

Very nice car. That 8 track definitely reminds me of the one I had in my 67 GTX back in those days. As well as your 273 Hi Performance emblems. I put those on my GTX just to confuse others in Waterloo where I lived then. There were many that just thought my GTX ran awfully well for just having...

I'd like a very good consol for an A body if possible. All that I find are trash and broken.

Back in 82, I picked up a Deuce Coupe...(32 Ford) in Plevna, Montana, so I'm familiar, a little anyway, with that part of Montana. Just returned from a swing into the West with my wife. SD, Wyoming, Western Montana, Washington, BC, then back into Washington, to Oregon (got to meet Mark Worman...

Sedan man, really looks great. By the way, my 67 is looking for a new home. Not enough time, plus my guy has had health problems, so it's up for sale.

Sounds great, yes we all want pictures.

I've a long wait to see my guy in close to that condition.

What about in the crossmember area, what was required there? Any pictures by chance?

I probably missed it, but what did you have to do, to get that modern Mopar transmission in that Dart? Otherwise in my case, I'll probably go torqueflight with a gear venders overdrive but don't know yet. I'm open to suggestions. Will be going with 6.1.

I like that idea too. When we start on my Valiant that willl be one of my modifications too. I remember all too well that front end twist. That was in my 6-Pak 440 Rat Trap. R/T.

I"m pretty sure that it wound up in Danville, Illinois where my Valiant is. By the way, it was painted White too, and looks very nice. I thought that I had a couple of pictures of it, but I must have lost them when I got my iPhone 6. #-o By the way, did you ever get those trunk drip rails...
