This car ***** and gets - Consistent 1.47 or so 60' nice 1' wheelie out of the hole and then straight as an arrow. Also has very nice manners on the street just a little brutal at highway speeds with the 4.56 gears.
1968 Valiant 2 door post car
Fiberglass bumpers & fenders
8 point cage - Sub frame connectors
Mini Tubbed - Very nicely - super stock springs moved in 3" & Frame is tied - she's solid!!
Weld Draglites - A little pitted and could use a full polish
Hoosier QTP - 28 x 11.5 - Mickies in the front
Custom Dash Insert with Radio & Heater Delete
Gauge pod with all new Silver Sport Comp Gauges including speedo - Have speedo cable not installed
No Back seat but full carpet & interior - Great headliner & door panels (year one)
Cheetah SCS Floor Shifter
Fuel cell in trunk
Battery in Trunk
Firm Feel man steering box
Wilwood Front Disc Brakes
Line lock
Competition Engineering - Race Shocks on all 4 corners
With the Glass front fenders and bumpers the car weighs around 2800 lbs.
Dart sport hood scoop with handmade air cleaner that seals to hood
408 Stroker - less then 1000 miles and maybe 50 passes on it - Best pass 11.007 @ 117 - Needs more carb
Magnum Block is out of a 99 Dakota R/T - Bored, Stroked and Assembled here in Seattle @ a well known local race shop called DG Machine
Heads are Magnum RT 1.97 Heads (why not 2.02?) The Answer is Shady Dell got almost as much out of most of his Stage III 2.02's with these little 1.97's

TTI Headers and dual 3" that goes all the way to the bumper
The Crank is an Eagle Steel Crank
It has a Hughes Stud Girdle
Probe Flat Top Forged Pistons
Comp Cam - 242/248 - 608/614 - 112 (This was originally run due to it being injected) There is more in this engine with a more aggressive cam and right carb
Crower Billet 1.7 Rockers
MSD Billet distributor
Mopar M1 Magnum Manifold
Milodon 8 Qt race Pan
HV Oil Pump
Barry grant 250 Race pump&filter
SMR 904 - Full tilt rollerized race tranny with STEEL billet front drum so it can be streetable - Reverse Manual Valve Body - Transbrake - JW Performance 3800 Stall - Less than 20 passes since both Tranny and Converter were rebuilt
This is SMR's full tilt race tranny and in fact was the backup one he had for his Super Street Dakota ( http://smrtrans.tripod.com/smrtransmissionsintro/index.html )
8 3/4 Rear was redone less then 500 miles ago with a 489 Sure grip and 4.56 gears.
Car does not overheat and I have driven it 30 miles back and forth to our local track about a dozen times. The RPM's do feel excessive on the highway due to the 4.56 gears
The car does run on pump gas (92) just fine as it's about 11:1 compression. I always put race gas in the tank at the track because I figure better safe then sorry. The fuel cell is an 8 gallon I believe but I always keep just enough to get me here and there in case I want to put race gas in at the track.
The panel of switches where the heater controls used to be run the Fuel pump, The Ignition module (MSD 7AL2), and the engine fan. There is a switch for the dash lights on the left underside of the dash and they all work great. The turn signals and parking lights etc all function as they should and there are indicators on the dash.
Also have new Carpet & Dash cap for it not installed in boxes - And several boxes of misc spare parts.
The Valiant was featured in Car Craft in 99 right after it was originally built / painted by Angelo Salfani from New Jersey - It now has a completely new and more aggressive drive train and a few other upgrades.
The paint is now 12 years old and is good job but by no means perfect. This car is a driver not a show car but she is very solid and definitely more built for GO.
Known issues:
Very Small amount of rust / bubbles below the drivers door. You pretty much have to lay on the ground to notice it.
There is an oil leak after WOT runs that I have not been able to pinpoint but it does not appear to leak under normal driving - Likely needs Evac or Vacuum pump.
The neutral safety switch / adjustment is a little out of whack and sometimes you have to go from park to neutral and back before it will let you start her up.
I would like to get $12k out of the car and that is about what is in the drive train alone - Willing to trade or partial for right Dodge 4x4 or super mild street car + cash
