Hi guys - brand new here. Any opinions on which V8 would be best to swap into a 65 Valiant? And any tips on any great mechanics in L.A. for these cars? Thanks!
Thank you! I was thinking 318...Any small block is easiest, since the factory installed them in some cars.....big blocks are more trouble.
Thanks Rusty - I'll check that out too. Was just looking at some 340/360 crate engines - pretty good hp for the price. I've got lots of homework to do...383 is very doable too. Distributor right in the front where you can get to it. The stock HP manifolds will even work with very little mods.
LA is a Light A engineWhat is LA? I'll have to look that up!
Actually, I think it stands for late A, as in later, after the "A" polyshere engine.
