What motor are you thinking of using? My neighbor put a 241 Dodge hemi in a 64 Valiant wagon. It has an Offy intake with 3 deuces and a home made air cleaner that looks really great. I think the engine wells are the same as a 66. They became wider in 67. I know the 241 is quite a bit smaller...

Actually it does accept the A motor timing assembly, but that's about it. The new 5.7 hemi was actually based roughly on this one so I have read somewhere. Just about done wiring. Am modifying the quarter panel to take a Barracuda flip open gas cap right now. As soon as I get that area painted I...

Thank you. It's been a long haul. Wish I'd gone with a 44 so I could parts and not have to make em. There's a guy here in Tucson with an older Challenger with a 5.7 hemi, twin turbos, a tunnel ram, and dual quads. The turbos draw air through the carbs, the air is directed back under the carbs to...

Getting closer. Just primed the motor and am getting ready to check for fuel leaks. Ran an electric external oil pump for 24 hours and turned the crank by hand a few degrees every few minutes to make sure the rocker arm shafts are full. Ain't nothing more fun than starting up one of these old...

The Megasquirt is wired and soon I'll start programming it. Shouldn't be long now.

My brother put a pair of 280ZX turbos on a 340 in his Scamp. It was a draw-thru with a Holley 600 sitting on a sheet metal box and the turbos drawing thru a pair of long tubes with the turbos sitting ahead of the motor and the box sitting on the intake. It didn't look like it should work very...

Very nice. Where did you get them coated?

341 Desoto hemi into 67 Valiant.

I'll use the 69 hood as the plug. A draft angle will be made along the sides of the hood plug using Bondo. PVA will be the mold release along with wax. Strips of balsa will be used as stiffeners or I will use a special type of foam sheet to thicken the final product to make it stiff. Dumas...

The car is a 67, but I got a 69 hood and grill assembly. The 67 has an assembly running down through the grill assembly that holds the hood hold down. That gets in the way of the intercoolers. No room for the tranny cooler, so I got a glass bumper and the cooler will fit in the bumper.

I'll make a mold of the hood and do one from glass. It will have the openings. can't afford am AAR piece.

Absolutely gorgeous!

The motor is in and the front end is together. Will be driven while it gets ready for paint.
