    headers or manifolds for 4 door 318 valiant

    having recently seen the header install problems for myself, well as long as you have time and patience you can get them done. cant say about performance as i am not knowledgeable enough. from an install point, it took an idiot like me 2 weekends to figure out to read the damn instructions...

    more epic failures lol - header issues again

    yep you're right cept the 67 had a 1 year only idler which wont work with the later k frames so had to use a 68. but that is all being scrapped and i will use a new gear box for a 76 and all 76 parts to keep it stock. sheesh i have been around the block 87 times now - guess its to be expected...

    just called borgesons - he said the only diff between gear boxes and col splines was between power and manual. i guess ill know once the new gear box comes in lol!

    more epic failures lol - header issues again

    i guess i can jack the trans/engine up and see if the tie rod clears? if so then i can get a taller trans mount? if not i'll try notching the header first. holy mackeral this is crazy. i can only imagine if i need to put the 67 k member back in and get schumaker eng plates and redo the whole...

    more epic failures lol - header issues again

    thanks guys so Red you dont think flipping the end of the drag link so the tie rod mounts the same was as the 76 would do it? if i am rewelding it couldnt i theoretically re weld it to whatever angle i needed to gain the clearance? the headers worked fine with all 76 components. good thing is...

    more epic failures lol - header issues again

    well if this "simple" engine swap wasn't getting so comical i think i'd go to the hair club for men just so i could pull all my hair out. after struggling for a few hours to get the headers in a few weeks ago - mostly due to my own ignorance of not reading the directions well enough - and...

    please forgive ignorant performance engine questions

    now that i have the 67 dart /6, i am curious about engine swaps/performance etc. i dot plan on anything right away, but would like to begin research and parts hunting so that during the winter i can try to either hop up the /6 or do a swap. i am aware that with the swap i will need additional...
