1964 Plymouth Valiant with Gen 3 Hemi

[HR5058]

whats your suspension set up ?

The rear is an 8 3/4 with 391 gears and 275/60/15 tires. Super stock springs. However, I just added caltracs last week. The front is slant six torsion bars with the 73 to 76 disc conversion. However, I am now switching the disc brakes over to Wilwood to help reduce some weight and reciprocating weight. Rear brakes are drum. All four corners are double adjustable Viking shocks.

That's very cool! That's a late model swap I can actually endorse!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Do you have any pictures of how you made your engine mounts? I have a 65 valant I have been thinking about building a stroker gen3 hemi in..but I was thinking about also putting a gt45 turbo on it. So I dont have to worry about trying to build long tube headers for it

I got a 2004 Durango hose and cut and spliced. Here are a few pics.

Making a few changes for this year to the engine. Taking the dual quads off and replacing with Ritter intake and quick fuel carb. Out with the ported early heads and replacing with ported MMX 6.1 heads. Changing cam also to a custom ground cam from FRP (done by TSP). Hoping to pick up a few horses. Let’s hope I pick up some.

Do you have any under car pictures with the mounts as installed on the engine that you could post? How bad was the clearance with stock type steering box?

Sorry, I forgot to ask.

Here are a few. I used a flaming river manual box. Fit was okay. When we made the headers, we just worked around string box.
