Thanks for letting me join the group. I'm from Ontario , Canada and recently purchased a 69 Plymouth Valiant from my Brother. It is currently a slant 6 and I have purchased a rebuilt 400 big block for it as well as a 727 transmission. I also need to change the rear axle as it's a 7.25. Been hoping to find an 8 3/4 posi for it but they're pretty scarce in my area unless you want to dish out large dollars. I'm considering narrowing an 8.8 Explorer rear instead as it's an easy fix, also gaining disc brakes and 31 spline axles. I will likely be asking some questions in the near future as my last Mopar was a 68 Cuda back in the early 70's. Graham Taylor

Welcome from Alberta.
Cool car and some great plans.

Just a little hint, in Moparspeak we say "sure grip" instead of posi. Some here may get offended by a Chevy term. Lol

No problem, I'm not one that is obsessed with correct terms. I like 'em all, and have owned everything from AMC to Yamaha.

Love the 69 Valiant. It's a great body style. Probably the best looking grille of them all. Welcome!

Welcome to FABO, Granny.
Is it the A-bpdy 8-3/4 you're having trouble finding? Or any 8-3/4?
If you're going to narrow a Ford Explorer 8.8, you could always narrow either a B-body, C-body, or E-body 8-3/4 to fit your Valiant.

BTW, our club (Inland Mopars) built a '68 Valiant as our charity raffle car about 10 years ago. We also used a 400 big block/727 combo for power.

Thanks, I had a friend of mine from London suggest I get onboard, he's on the B body site I think. I'm likely going to need some input front you guys, been 50 plus years since I played with Mopars

My brother had a '67 Valient in high school. It also had a slant 6. I was always amazed at how fast that car was with that engine! Welcome to the club!
