How THE HELL...

[66VALIANT]

Anyone know if its possible to shove a 383 in a 66 valiant and keep a manual clutch in it i dont want hydraulic. if not would it be so bad to freshen up a '93 magum motor and throw a carb on it and drop it in whats best and what can the magnum do . how much power? Thanks guys

yes its Possible to go big block in an Early abody.

I would go with a large small block.

400 hp is possible with the 360 based Magnum engine,
heck, crate motor.........?

360 c.i.d. Magnum crate engines. They're built with all-new parts and crank out 395 hp, with 420 ft./lbs. of torque.

I saw a 361 being Put into a 1966 Valiant, in 1977.

It was a not easy project.

I was going to Midland, TX. Community College at the time.

I never did see the car run, under the big blocks power. Nor sure how it ended up, in the long run.

A big small block would be easier.
