LSx Valiant Build. Take a look inside...

I for one love the build, the budget concept, the effort into bringing an old mopar back to life and of course pictures and video.

I am disappointed in the members who posted negitive comments in this thread. You ought to be ashamed.


My first exposure to LS engines was last summer, a friend of mine put a 6.2 from a yukon denali into a '67 convertable firebird for much of the same reasons your putting an ls motor in your mopar. He kept the muncie "Thats a 4spd manual transmission for your mopar purist" with a conversion bellhousing. I don't know much about the engine but it did put 530hp to the tires on a dyno "That number was corrected to local weather conditions".

I guess my point is whats not to like, the car gets gets over 20mpg on the highway, it starts, idles like a pussy cat, the a/c works, it doesn't over heat, runs on pump gas, the stereo works and its fast.

He had never been to a drag strip... He went with me for the first time last fall and that car ran 11.teens at 125. Thats pretty fast for a car not built for that and a driver who doesn't really know what he's doing. Of course the track shut him down for saftey reasons...

I've been through this racing my '69 AMC AMX at mopar only races. 90% percent of the guys are cool and 10% percent have to run there mouth with comments about Mopar and AMC's at there race. I guess they forgot mopar bought amc in the 90's.

thats my rant, Keep up the good work...
