Mini tub construction is complete. Applied red oxide primer and seam sealer.

Watching this thread, great work. I have a mini tub planned for my 68 Dart soon and most likely a 6.4 way down the road.

I want to see pics of all the fabrication, that's sweet!

The only way this project would have been cooler is if this were a wagon instead of a sedan. Sleeper!

Cool project. Get ready for the purists to bash the fact you chopped a perfect little numbers matching car.

1964 Plymouth Valiant. Worth $950.00

No way man. $2000 minimum. You should sell all the parts you pulled out of that thing and get your $950 back x2.

Looks great man, very nice work! You've probably got something already up your sleeve, but definitely install weld-in frame connectors. I'm curious what you do for exhaust manifolds/headers. I couldn't afford custom made headers and used SRT8 Jeep manifolds.
Earlier this year, after 3.5 years of start/stop work, I got my 66 Barracuda with a 6.1L based 426ci gen3 hemi up and running. I love the early A hemiswaps!

Yup. Page 1.

Fabricated sub-frame connectors and raised part of the floor to tuck in the exhaust. I used 2" X 2" X 1/8" thick square tubing. Cut the floors and attached the connectors to the floor. Ran "conduit" for main battery wire and fuel line.

Sub frame connectors are installed/welded! There are no headers available anywhere for this swap. Going to build my own.

Painted Red Oxide on the Sub-Frame connectors and floor mods.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

And seam sealed.

 

[wazoo64]

You should build some headers like these!

Yes, Hotwire. I've been talking to Chris over there.

Very nice....Subscribed.

For an easier fit I cut down the shock towers using a cutoff wheel.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Fabricated inserts where the shock tower was cut and MIG welded them in.

Looking good
