Supercharged 6.4L in a 64 Valiant

[Chuckbizkits]

More trans line adapter work.

A couple of crappy pics of the modified trans cooler lines. You can see how the new fitting fits much better on the radiator.

Awesome build. You're fab skills are crazy good.

Trying to make the engine compartment as clean as possible. Going run the air filter/cold air intake in the fender well.

I'm going to install a supercharger. After discussing the project with Don at A2 Speed, we decided that the biggest obstacle will be the installation/fitment/modification for the heat exchanger. It's massive and needs to go on the front of the car by the radiator and AC condenser and trans cooler. All things fighting for front and center placement.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Had to chop up the grill and front valance to get the heat exchanger to fit.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

There's no way the factory latch is going to fit. Had to completely cut up and dismantle.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

The only usable piece.

Construction of new latch brackets.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Hideous.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Function is beauty.

Can't help with the title change but the progress is looking good. I think the finished product will look great

How about just using hood pins?

How about just using hood pins?

That would be too easy.

Bought a cheap ABS plastic rear spoiler for a 2015 Challenger. Saw one going down the road and thought it would look good on the Valiant project.

I lucked out and the contour fit great but the ends needed to be modified.

I cut the ends off right at the trunk line and fabbed some new ends out of 18gge sheet.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Test fit with ends cut off.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Bought some ABS 1/8" thick 12" X 12" square sheets from Walmart. Used ABS pipe glue and made some end caps.

Nice work on the spoiler.
