1968 Plymouth Valiant Signet... originally a 225ci slant six / auto. It is being repainted and converted to a small block powered street car. The car has 25,943 original miles.
So far I swapped the k-frame to a small block V-8 k-frame, did the '73+ front disc brake conversion w/ all new suspension components, and swapped in a stock A-Body 8-3/4 rear end with Moser axles, 3.91 Sure Grip in a 489 center section, CalTrac split monoleafs and Caltrac bars, 11" x 2.5" rear drum brakes, Inline Tube parking brake cables/brake lines/brake hoses. I also installed the Calvert 90/10 front shocks.
Plans for the very near future include paint, installation of a built 360 (for now), built 727, TTI headers and full exhaust. The only things I still need to pick up are a big radiator and the Rancho rear shocks.
Hopefully she'll be ready this summer. I hope to be able to drive it down to the Mopar Nats this year.
