I have a 170 slant in my 65 Valiant station wagon daily driver.I love it. I put an A 833 4 speed from a 65 Barracuda behind it and it's lots of fun to drive.It has a 7 1/4 sure grip with 323's and it responds real well when I hit the gas.I take it on really long trips up to my camp in the Adirondack mountains 400 miles away fully loaded with tools ,camping gear , my 3500 watt generator , chain saw and my kayak on the roof . It's packed to the max . It's an 8 hour ride up and she just does it with no bullshit . Gets around 24 mpg and is as easy to work on as they come.I would never trade my stock little 170 for a v8 . Since July of this year I had her up to my camp 3 times putting on a shade over 5000 miles on her. Never once did she miss a beat .
